Re Admission to ul

Last year i attended U.L. doing New media and English but as i didnt like the course i dropped out. I reapplied this year in the hope that i get lucky with music tech or digital media design(I have over the points, but i am 1 grade short of the maths requirment, They also told me they would have let me transfer last year had i not applied so late) .

Anyway I got a letter from ul this morning with an application for re admission, Does anyone have a clue whats the story with this, it would seem that its going around the cao way of getting in, which is giving me more hope i could get my course next year..

Anyone out there have any experiance with this?

if u dont have the points you need to get a 2.6 qca to transfer into the course but s you dropped out i dont know what they will do.

i think if you have the head of the course/ department on your side then you should be ok

this year at least the head of mmpt is a woman so double check who ur talkin to

if ur considerin dcu to do their digital media engineering course be aware it has a very different focus to uls mmpt or dmd

Yea sorry i meant women, I just had the image of the guy from the open day last yea stuck in me head but yea its deffo the right person.

Was actually considering doing computer applications in dcu, A very differnt course but its somthing else id have a pretty big intrest in so either way it beats staying in tralee another year. Fingers crossed for limerick though.
