    Now that the CAO list is drawing close I think it's time for a CAO thread to see what everyone else is applying for.

    I've registered for the CAO but still haven't inputted my choices just yet. Still thinking about the order but my preliminary list is

    1. TCD Medicine
    2. RCSI Medicine
    3. UCD Medicine
    4. TCD Pharmacy
    5. RCSI Pharmacy
    6. NUIG Medicine
    7. UCC Medicine
    8. UCC Pharmacy
    9. Unsure
    10. Unsure

    As for Level 6/7 I amn't sure if i'll even fill it in as none interest me too greatly.

    For Choices 9 and 10 i'm still quite unsure. I'm thinking TCD Science and failing that Medicinal Chemistry.

    I'd happily take Medicine or Pharmacy. Both appeal to me just about the same so I put it more in order of university preference than course preference.

    Mine are:
    1. NUIM Computer Science & Software Engineering
    2. NUIM Science
    3. UL Multimedia & Computer Game Design
    4. UL Computer Systems

    I've got another 6 I'm vaguely interested in, but I'll probably go for one of those four, most likely numero uno. At UL they tell me that if you put one of those two courses down on your CAO they'll invite you in during the Easter Break to try it out for a day, so I figure it's well worth at least putting it down for now.

    1) TCD - Computer Science
    2) TCD - Business & Computing
    3) DCU - Computer Applications
    4) DIT - Computer Science
    5) DIT - Computing

    Haven't quite decided how I'll fill out the rest of it yet or if I'll bother with the level 6/7. Probably should to be sensible, I suppose. Although I am very, very confident about getting my first choice. Aiming for 500, so the only thing that might possibly trip me up is an abysmal showing in my Maths exam, but on average over the 7 exams I should do well enough.

    Oh well, this really marks the beginning of the end of this school lark, doesn't it? Have to say that I won't be missing it!

    No I wasn't there. What were they saying? All about two years in Boston and stuff? That's what attracts me mainly to it

    At the moment I've only got the medicines on my form sorted out...I have still have to fix up my second choices but it's looking likely to be radiation therapy in TCD for number 6 and after that biomed, health + life sciences in UCD, science in TCD, and some of the biomedical stuff in UCC and NUIG to fill the rest. The industrial and pharmaceutical chemistry will probably be moved down the form (it's a nice course though).

    1. Medicine (NUIG).
    2. Med (UCC).
    3. Med (TCD).
    4. Med (UCD).
    5. Med (RCSI).
    6. Pharmaceutical + Industrial Chemistry (UL)
