200 more than you need? You tried too hard, now I want you to think of all those hours you wasted studying when you didn't need to and realise how much time you have wasted away when you could have been enjoying life.

600 points, TAKEN!

ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED...!!!

Must be the happiest man in Ireland.

My story: Started out in 5th year as a mega-nerd, was hoping for 550~.. But as 5th year wore on I got real lazy and stopped working. One of my classmates died early in 6th year so that knocked me back too.. Did very little this year, and was afraid of not getting my 300 points for my course... It was very touch and go..


GOT 450! OWNAGE!

I didnt actually study too much and a lot of that was done at work. Ima petrol pump fella and at the weekend its only me so I spent the time not filling cars studying. Not much else to do tbh. Also my ego needs massaging

I had a 215 point surplus myself. Needed 355, got 570. I also think I drank more and went out more last year than I ever have in my life.

I'm very happy indeed

lucernarian

Once people are happy with their ridiculous surpluses, that's the main thing:)

I needed 390 got 455. I'm a little unhappy that I got a C3 in English.

I'll drink to that!

(The surpluses are handy if oyu want to switch courses though, there's a small chance I might want to switch to something like pharmacy in my second year, for example. I probably won't, but it's nice to have that cushion to fall back on)

moggins

If you switch in second year, would your application not be based on your exams from college and not the LC/CAO process?

Its not begrudgery. I have just always found it hard to understand when people who study there ass off and "kill" themseleves only to end up acheiving alot more points than they need. When they could have relaxed and enjoyed there last year in school more and still ended up with the same result(college course not points). If you managed to enjoy your last year, without "killing" yourself and still got more than you needed fair play.

Don't think so. I think they only count college exams if you haven't the required CAO points and you're in something like science and wnat to get into say medecine.

kisaragi

Really happy with mine!

515. Needed 545 for psych in trinity but maynooth or ucd will do me fine for 500 Was never expecting to get the 545 since I didn't put in the work. Bit dissapointed in one or two things that I thought could've gone better... But oh well!! I don't have to repeat! I'm so happy!

:eek: QFT But the last time i started drinking this early I ended up unconcious at 10 pm XD

Corruptedmorals

Very happy with 495, not happy that I'm 15 points off my 1st choice in 1st round, and 5 points off it in 2nd round. I'll be looking at scripts of 5 subjects for appealing.
