The whole first and second round offers thing.

My career guidance teacher only gave us study classes in LC so no one explained this.
If I accept the first round offer, I won't get any offers in the second round will I?
Or do they offer it anyway?

From the CAO handbook

If you are being offered a place in a course which is not your first preference, you may subsequently be offered a place in a course of higher preference if such a place becomes available. This applies whether or not the earlier offer has been accepted. It is NOT necessary to accept an offer in order to be considered for a higher preference if it becomes available later. There is no guarantee, of course, that a higher preference will become available

Right, that's pretty good.

Thus in essence, you can accept choice 3 and still be offered number 1 and 2 if it becomes available. I didn't actually know this until now. That's good news for me anyhow.

Woah.. I thought you had to not accept the offer to get a chance of being offered a higher choice...

Lucas10101 · 13-08-2007 6:56pm

that's what I originally thought

No you can always be offered higher, but never lower, which is why it's so important to put stuff in the order of preference not points. So many people get burned by sticking things like medicine last.
