Unhappy wit Cao choices>>!!!??

only18

when i opened my leaving cert results i was over the moon i got 450 and i was gonna be happy with 300 but then depression hit..

i rechecked wat i put in my cao and realised i cant do 5/8 choices on my cao because i didnt achieve certain grades in certain subjects. I dont want my first two choices now and blah blah i bascially made a mess of it all!!! I know my only option is to wait a whole year and reapply for the cao with a proper list of choices (i must have been langers or something applying this year)
What to do next is the question??????

Im the same in that I got the points but not the proper grade (got a C2 in german and needed a C1)
Now I actually want something lower on my list (want my 8th choice and ill probably get my 7th...)

Is it 6am monday morning they become available at www.cao.ie ?

Wow its gonna be exciting getting up that early to see what could be the most important information on our screen we have ever seen.

I will kiss my F5 button if I get my 1st choice, then kiss the screen, then hit the pub for celebrations.
otherwise, one shall go back to bed.

raah!

I kinda changed my mind about wanting to go all the way up to dublin just so I could add a "theoretical" to my physics. Now I'm swimming in a pool of despair.

Probably just cold feet or something though... but dublin is just too city for me

Don't forget to log in and accept the course before going to the pub

Also, raah!, don't worry about Dublin giving a daunting aura. You'll (most likely) be living on campus with people from all over Ireland who are in the same situation, whether it's TCD or UCD.

It's possible to change course inside the college, and indeed to change college. There needs to be a free course in the college you want to go to, you'll need to have all the points and the matriculation requirements, and there can't be any timetabling issues (and there may be other things to clear up too). To find out more, contact the admissions office of the college you're looking to go to.

have a look at the vacant places list on the cao website. it might be closed now till tuesday the 19th. even if you receive your first choice and now dont want it you can still apply for a vacant place on a course on the list. once you satisfy the minimum requirements you can apply.
