Plans for next year

JimmNeutron

hey just out of interest, wats everybodys plans for next year?
I was plannin on tryin for physio but think im jus gonna settle for general science in trinity or ucd after the last few days of exams.
Any opinions on the science course???? I heard a lot of ppl drop out in first year.

whassupp2

Civil Engineering if i get an honour in maths which is gonna b hard to getafter todays performance.

I have a place on a Sound Engineering course in Ballyfermot College of Further Education provided I get 3 OD3s and 2HC3s which I think is pretty likely. I got 320 in my mocks from not studying so I think I should be ok.

JimmNeutron

Sound engineering sounds like great craic alrite. Sumthin i wud hav love t tried but my love for science well overpowered it. I kno, i kno, i sound like a nerd, but physics is so interestin, honestly.

Raphael

Theoretical Physics in UCD, providing I get my 435 points, and my B2's in maths and physics.

Im hoping for Business with Office Information Systems in CIT, it was 250 last year according to qualifax.ie and I got 250 in my pre with no study!

Oh ****, I haven't even looked at other courses yet. I'll have to do so later on in the week.

ThrownAway

I'm putting down Nutritional Sciences.

It could be 390, could be 490.

At this stage I'll just be happy if I make it to at least 300 and then settle on Enviornmental Sciences which is my second option.

I was depending on Geography to get a C3 but now, after today, I'm guessing I got a D2. I need a C3 in either Business, Art or Biology too.

I need to pass German which scares me...ALLOT.

JimmNeutron

ye theres a lot of pressure on me t do well in german aswel!!
won lc german student of the year this year nd i really didnt deserve it.

where are you doing that?
im hoping to go to uni and do one of business and legal,pharmacy or something in science but i still dont have a bloody clue what to put down as number 1.....

deisedolly

Hoping to go to DCU and do Communication Studies(tis media studies sorta thing) but I need 450 points which I'll be very very lucky if I get it.
I have a few other similar courses down that I'm interested in so all is not lost if i don't get that course!
If everything goes pear shaped it'll be an Arts degree in either UCC or UCD!

blahhh

Do you need a language for those IT places Like CIT and DIT

RagShagBill

I'm heartened that, as of yet, nobody has mentioned either part of my course, and hope that this is a general trend. French and Italian, TCD.

casanova_kid

I've got History and politics in Trinity down as my number one, but i think i already lost the points i need on Maths alone. Probably do BESS now.

smemon

probably takin a year out and chillin :cool:

get a full driving licence, set up a few websites, get into IT more, save a bit of cash... get my confidence up if i'm lucky win euromillions and retire (im serious)

colleges should be looking for me, not the other way about :cool: i'm not going to commit to a 4 year course for the sake of it. my decision will be carefully calculated with all risks and future prospects taken into account.

i think most of yee are foolish jumpin into these courses. guarantee you they havn't been researched properly. this is your life you're playing with, you can't hit 'play again' once you fail.

Don't give up on it yet. I missed Hist Pol by 5 points and Law by the same on first round offers last year. I'm in Bess and even when i got my second round offers i stuck with BESS. i though it would be terrible, and yeah some bits suck but i love othe parts. Also last yera there was a huge drop in points, of 30 to 545 so it may drop again.

davidorgan

Im hoping to get Computer Applications in DCU!!!!!:cool:

I dont think most ITs require a language,I'm pretty sure DIT doesn't

eh yeah you can, its pretty easy to just change courses, or drop out and enter a new course, or just do a different course afterwards :cool:

Me im going for general science in DCU (or common entry whatever), probably go into physics after the first year

That first bit there is me - hopefully pass my upcoming driving test, put an ad in the paper for web design, get a new car, and in October (fingers crossed, although it's not looking great so far) Computer Science in Trinity.
If not, there's always DCU... :rolleyes:

brid_m

fun fun


anyone know if arts in UCC is going to go up or down for points?! crystal balls out everyone please if it goes up i kiss goodbye to thet anyway! it went down 20 last yr, 380-360...... down another 20 n would be well happy!

Raphael

It should go down, afaik there's a drop in the number of people sitting the Leaving this year.

OctavarIan

Eh, CSSE in maynooth or NUI, apart from that, wherever life takes me.

Ballina boy

Sigh*

Repeating.

No chance in hell am i getting anywere near the points i want.

bastard maths papers....

Phew!Lucky I'm going to repeat and aim for a better course then.Really dodged the bullet there.:p


Anybody that may be repeating going to do it on their own?Going back to either of my past two schools would be hell.

Faerie

Well I'm going to UCC anyway. Still haven't decided if I'll change my form though! I'm trying to decide between Law, Law and French, Physics and Astrophysics, An Arts degree, or maybe Chemical and Process Engineering. I really don't know what I want to do!

Rockerette

the amount of people who have already set their minds on repeating.. sheeeesh guys.. is that not depressing!?
surely theres other options for you to get into the area you want? aah well



journalism in DCU for me hopfully. anything else i'll be a bit disappointed. multimedia in DCU is 2nd, and journalism with a language in DIT is 3rd

Kovik

I'm aiming for English Literature and Film Studies in TCD. 505 last year, 525 the year before. Exams have been going well so far and I think I've three high grades from Irish, English and Biology. History tomorrow is going to be the one that decides it. I want a B2 from my three remaining exams (History, German and Physics) and all three are right bastards.

Anyone care to speculate on how the points might move in TCD arts courses this year?

Not a hope in hell of me repeating. If i fail maths i'll just go in next june and take the pass paper. I was thinking about a year out anyway, maybe do a fás course in welding(and get paid to do it ) or something like that. Its always handy to have a skill, something practical. I could end up doing a degree in automobile technology and it would be handy to have, its just the lack of jobs in the motor industry thats putting me off. Sorry for rambling on

Peyton Manning

Put down Law in Trinity as first choice, 555 points, but with my subject level choices, the highest I can get is 570 so its not very likely ill get it.

Realistically, im going for BESS in TCD at 480 points. Anyone else doin it, get at me on MSN :cool:

If I dont get 480, im just goin straight into Accountacy Training with some company.
