Rebecca Carter won a High Court ruling on her Leaving Certificate points appeal, reported on 3 October 2018.

The court directed the State Examinations Commission to correct an error in her marks before UCD admissions closed.

The judge described the review system as highly unfair and said it was manifestly not fit for purpose.

Ms Carter had started veterinary medicine at UCD, but lost the first crucial weeks of her course.
