+1 to this, even if you accept it you can still be offered courses higher in round 2, but if you don't accept and don't get another offer, then you get nothing. Would it not make sense to accept?

Plus if you don't get another offer and decide you still don't want this course, you can just contact the CAO and tell them you don't want it. Better to just accept and keep your options open

Are you 100% certain about that? I've decided I would like to either take a year out to mull over things and hopefully get a job in a hospital if I don't get medicine, and repeat just the HPAT and apply to UCAS. If I can't get aforementioned job I will just stay in school and also do the LC, aiming for the glorified 625. Exciting times. I am fairly sure I don't want to accept the course, but extra time would be welcome anyway. Is there any fee for cancelling a course after I accept it?

Mod of LC and you don't even know this! :pac:

Accept the course now. It won't change anything at all, at all. You can decline it later by contacting the uni (or the CAO if the acceptance deadline isn't up) and you can still get a round 2 offer regardless of if you accepted or not!

Sorry if I'm not understanding what you're asking..! I have excuses! :P Also I'm not wearing my glasses! :pac:

When is this 'acceptance deadline' the Cao have? How do you know I can reject the course after I accept? is it in the handbook or do you know people that have done it or what? /cautious

You just can..! Sorry for a blunt answer but like.. Plus if you don't reg like they'll get the hint! You won't be the first to do it, and you won't be the last!

I dunno when the deadline is but just accept it now!

Yes, if you accept any course lower than your number one choice then you have a chance at getting offered anything above that choice in the second/third/fourth rounds. Of this I am 100% certain.

It is also definitely free to cancel your course. I accepted a course in Maynooth in 2009, and simply emailed the college to tell them I no longer wanted to go as I'd decided to repeat my Leaving Cert.

Accept it, Jumpguy. There's no downside.

Yeah, you might be right about the day early thing. Regardless, Jumpguy, take the course, many people are leaving empty handed and would kill for a decent course. I myself am on my third choice atm, and I'm pretty alright about it, but am still slightly annoyed I missed out on UCD. Oh well, onwards and upwards, don't waste a year of your life.

UCD are a bunch of arseholes. I've been up since 6.30, trying to register electives, and after 2 hours of very slow webpages, broken links, refreshing, I finally get in, but UCD have now removed the elective registration and what's more anyone who managed to get electives are going to be 'rolled back' so everybody is starting again on an equal footing, at a time 'to be announced'.

What the hell are we paying two grand for? :mad::mad:

kev9100 · 29-08-2011 9:59am

UCD registration, AKA cruel and unusual punishment that I'm paying for!

You can definitely do this, I did two years ago; once I realised I'd rather repeat I just emailed the CAO telling them my circumstances had changed and I no longer wanted the course, and that was the end of it.

I was doing so well in my brother's league until this weekend, I got a miserable 38 points, whereas the people who had Dzeko or Rooney got an insane amount of points so I've been reduced from 3rd to 9th :mad: One guy got 91 points this weekend!

Ah well, I actually don't follow soccer at all and made my team purely from guessing, so it was fun to leave people baffled as to why they were being beaten by me!

I'm sick. And my best friend isn't talking to me, if I did something to piss her off I don't know what it was so I don't know how to make it better. And I wasted the three months of Summer I've had so far, a whole quarter of a year at least down the drain.

:(

I spent the last two weeks waiting for the activation code for online banking, finally got it today but I can't read the flipping thing! It's one of those peel back the foil and scratch things, and it's impossible to make out. I rang them but all they can do is send out another code. Fuck sake...

suitcasepink · 29-08-2011 6:23pm

So lawds, tomorrow, 9am marks my first official class as a 5th year, and guess what it is? Feckin Economics in the boys school, the one class I have in the boys school and I have it first thing tomorrow morning.
I am very, very unhappy about this.

Also, and this news is pretty awful. I got stung by a wasp for the first time in my entire life a few hours ago, around my neck, just up from my collarbone... But its after bruising for some queer reason and IT LOOKS LIKE A FECKIN HICKEY

F my L. Seriously. I want summer to come back and allow me lie in my bed forever.

My eye is on fire.

Got a new pair of contacts on Saturday, which were monthly's that you are able to leave in, just putting drops in your eyes at night and in the morning. They were fine until Sunday afternoon, when my eye started burning. Now I've got a huge abscess in one eye, and am nearly blind in that eye. Not good.

No that's a cowl, a gowl is a "Derogatory term for female genitalia often used in the south of Ireland to slag somebody or to emphasize irritation in relation to objects."

Really could not have said it better myself.
It's a very Limerick word, normally said by a knacker (in that wonderful accent) and is pronounced "youuuu ghowwwwwwwl"

Also froze my ass off on the various stopovers and trains. Piece of advice, no matter how high in the 30's the temperature is in a European city, bring a hoodie because they will air condition the crap out of you

Fecking twat on the DIT registration "helpline" didn't have a clue what I was talking about even though I explained it to her like 4 times. Bah, back to reliable email it is.

Also, money is really really not good in my family at the moment and I feel awful about having to ask my parents to pay for college. I also have to come up with €300 for my uniform and knives. I've made a fiver last me since I got home over a week ago. I'm due to be paid this week but that all needs to go on college stuff/paying my credit card bill/paying people back.

Whoever said the recession is over is a liar. We're way worse off now than we were 2 years ago.
