    i rang CAO who were epically unhelpful.

    they took my CAO number and said "were you hoping to get through on your FETAC results?" "nope, no offers there for you anyway, you know theres another round in a few weeks"

    is that just a fob off because results are still filtering through.

    Okay. CAO just emailed me back, I gave them my cao number and told them it was for DIT. They replied this:

    ''We were not authorised by the Institution to issue
    you an offer.
    I can only suggest that you contact the Admissions
    Office of the Institution concerned to enquire as
    to the situation.''


    WHAT??????

    Round 0 is for Fetac, International and applicants with no exam results this year. It's not for LC students. The 20th August is. :)

    Okay, I applied for Film and Broadcasting in DIT, I was speaking to the admin office there now and they said that there was such a huge demand for the course and because so many people had the results, it went to random selection.
    She said that I can wait until the next round and I may get something then.

    Quick question,

    If I accept my Level 8 offer now which was my 9th choice, can i still get offers on the next round of offers?

    Or if i accepted an offer I wont get any more offers?

    I heard people still getting offers even though they have already accepted an offer?

    can anyone answer this pls :D!

    If you get an offer and accept, that's it, you take what you accepted.

    On our course last year we were told that if you accept a lower offer then you can still be offered a higher offer.

    Im not sure if you would receive a higher offer from the same university or not.

    However, if you accept a higher offer then you will not be offered anything lower.

    Some people on my course have accepted numerous offers but are still holding out for offers higher up their list of choices.

    You would be best off calling the CAO to be sure.

    No offers today, devastated. Really thought would get at least a few of the bottom ones as I tried to fill up most of the spaces.

    Tried emailing CAO but my email address keeps coming up as invalid?
    Going to phone them now.

    When are second round offers out does anyone know?

    Ah Jesus i'm gutted. no offers.

    the course that i put for numbers one and 2 were both around 200-220 points the last few years and i got 370 points through FETAC.

    no help at all from CAO or the I.T.'s applied to.

    what do i do now then? just sit, wait and worry until round 2 or what?

    to be honest if 370 points didn't get me a 220 point course in round zero with just FETAC and mature applicants to battle with, i really doubt its going to get me the course in round one (ironically/ confusingly round two) when the sea of leaving cert students has to be battled with too.

    and the sickening thing, nobody even really tells you, "no, you havn't got it", just nobody says anything at all and your left wondering.

    very disheartening to say the least.

    @Andyseadog I agree completely with you. I emailed CAO to ask them to help me. I couldn't get through to the universities I applied to and CAO were so unhelpful. I also said that the offers were coming out slowly. This is their reply:


    Hi Donna-Marie

    I don`t understand your comments that the Fetac
    results are coming out slowly today.

    We received all FETAC results on Tuesday last and
    offers were made on Wednesday.

    Some Colleges have a quota of places reserved for
    FETAC applicants, e.g Nursing Courses.

    Such offers are based solely on your FETAC points.

    These offers are issued in Round 0

    Many institutions allow applicants to compete
    based on their FETAC points against the Leaving
    Cert points and these offers go out in Mid August

    How to calculate the FETAC points is available on
    our website under FETAC Information.



    Regards
    Ivor Gleeson(Íomhair Ó Glíosáin)



    All I'm asking for is closure. It simply isn't fair for us to be left in the dark and stress out until the 20th. It seems to me that CAO don't want to take responsibility for the staggering of the offers.

    Can anyone make heads or tails as to what this email is about. Thank you.

    Nothing in the post this morning and no offer on the cao website, I applied for model making at IADT as a mature applicant and I got 570/600 on my portfolio so I was pretty confident I'd get an offer but now I'm just really worried!:(
