My cousin got 500 in the LC and the course she wanted was 510, she was offered it anyway. Could it be because she is dyslexic?

Yeah they do make provision for recognised disabilities, but only with proof from doctors and that

Do you think they'll tell her "hey you got more points cos you're dyslexic"


If I got 510 and didn't get a place I'd be raging

It does come up on your CAO acceptance form that you got extra
-And there are a set amount of places in every course for people with a disability, she wouldn't really affect a person who didn't have a disability through her acceptance.

Why would you be though, it's entirely fair that she should be offered that place.

Because I would feel that by getting higher points I would be more entitled to the place.

Taking the fact that dyslexia is a learning difficulty into account, the CAO system obviously decided it would take the same amount of effort for her to get 500 points than someone else to get 510. They obviously had some reason to do that. Therefore I would conclude that she would be just as entitled to the place as someone who got 510.

Unless the learning disability was already taken into account and adjusted for during the marking/examination process, in which case it would be unfair. I don't know if that's the case, though.

Im a shy man myself and i know what it feels like when you first start to talk to new people..He maybe more reluctant at the beginning of the relationship to open up,like myself,HOWEVER when he openly insults you in front of his friends or doesnt defend you its mean and condescending.If its at the beginning of the relationship and hes shy its ok in my opinion as many are but when he insults you its not on when hes not making any attempt to better the relationship.
