Gonna wait till open days have been attended until i go near CAO, but for the moment i can see it looking like this:

1.Science TCD
2.Computer Science UCD (Bsc)
3.An Nua Gaeilge TCD
4.Computer Science UCD (BA)
5.Who knows?

Pigwidgeon

i don't really have much to put on mine because there's only one course i want to do and you can only do it in one place. However I am looking at different things

1. Radiography UCD

then i was looking at occupational therapy and physiotherapy and the likes. all which the points are very high. then my career guidance teacher suggested clinical measurement in DIT but having read through everything i'm still not entirely sure what it is...

degausserxo

There're a million and one things I'd like to do, which makes this so much harder ):

But, what I've got so far...

1. Veterinary Medicine, UCD.
2. Radiation Therapy, TCD.
3. Science, UCD.
4. Modern Languages, UCD.
5. Arts, UCD.
6. English, TCD.
7. Animal Science, UCD.


And then there're a bunch of sciency level 6/7 courses I'd like to do aswell.

TOO MANY CHOICES*pulls out hair*

The same thing happened with me.I was thinking of psychology,physiotherapy,etc.But Law kept on coming back to me.

Niamh-17

These are in no particular order, still have a lot of decisions to make. These are just some of the courses im interested in:

Music with Arts (UCC)
Music + Psychology (TSM in TCD)
Music + Theatre and drama studies (TSM in TCD)
Liberal Arts (MI)
Psychology (NUIG)

Now all i need to do is decide which i want the most........

Piste

Medicine TCD
Medicine UCD
Medicine RCSI
Human Health and Disease TCD
Human Genetics TCD
Science TCD
Medicinal Chemistry TCD
Biochemistry UCD
Science UCD

All the courses after Science TCD aren't in any particular order, I'll probably jig them around a bit when I fill in the CAO properly. Only 5 days till it opens online!

damienricefan

Pah the thing's that separate my preference on these courses is marginal so whichever i get i'll probably be happy:

German & Film Studies TRINITY
German & Russian TRINITY
Modern Languages UCD
English & Psychology TRINITY
Media Arts DIT

cautioner

*refer to Piste's post for rough approximation*
Although Medicine in NUIG's gonna be my #1 for shizzle. Love that city.

What's wrong with Cork??
It's the place to be like!:D

ironictoaster

In no order:

Biotechnology DCU
Arts NUIM
Arts UCD
Enterprise computing DCU
Social Science NUIM
Multimedia DCU

To be fair, I have no idea how im going to fill that form out completely

phasers

Oh god, I don't know! :eek:

I have a feeling it'll be:
1.Communication Studies DCU
2.Media Studies NUIM
3.Arts NUIM
4.Orts UCD

timmywex

I was waiting for this thread, un fortunately

Dont really know yet, but will probably include actuary, engineering, maths, comp aided design and maybe arts as fallback! All in ucd, trinity or ul i would think, but i dont really have a clue tbh!

boobookitty

Science courses:
Physio, Radiation Therapy, Nutritional Sciences, Occupational Therapy, Biochem in no particular order.

Arts:
English, Ancient History, Archeology. again in no particular order.

Just got to decide between the list, choose the best 10 and put them in order.

Aisling(",)

eeep i havent even got one course i want to do!

bythewoods

So far it's looking like this:

1. Medicine TCD
2. Medicine UCD
3. Medicine Galway
4. Medicine RCSI
5. Medicine UCC (Possibly. Although I'd hate to go to Cork...)

And then after that comes the confusion. There'll probably be Pharmacy (TCD), Occupational Therapy (TCD) Radiography (UCD) Radiadion Therapy (TCD), Health & Life Sciences (UCD).
Or possibly Engineering courses...

And Piste- That Human Health and Disease course in Trinity? Is that new for 2009? Never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting...

Stev_o

Went onto cao website last night just to have a look around at courses in various college's. I originally aimed for physiotherapy then kinda got second thoughts on whether its viable course to do and get a job for when you finish it. Second choice would be computer science as i have a general interest in it but then again it's fairly low points and i feel i want to be aiming higher? I dunno im pretty damn confused by it all. There seem's to be feck all courses when you break it down :P

KnockHoops

im fairly sure i think:D

BESS Trinity
Commerce UCD
Finance +Accounting DCU
Commerce NUIG
there is nothing else I would be well pissed off if I dont get BESS

yea , i say it would prob be around 550ish, but it would largely depends on the demand. if the demand is high then the points will be high,...since it's the 1st yr they introduce the course,taking that in to consideration, i am gonna take a chance i would be happy to end up in UCD , sure thats where i was gonna go before i saw the TCD one..:)

*runs away screaming*

Oh Christ, it started today? I changed my mind again (as I've been doing for the past year) and now I want to become a secondary teacher.. although probably not in Ireland... and I'll probably want to be an astronaut or something next week

Ah sure, it's only provisional at the moment.
Fill it in with what you currently want- you can change it as much as you want for free starting from about May!
Last year I had engineering straight after medicine. Then I took it away. Put it back... and on the very last day of th'CAO took it away. Bad decision.

radiography in queen margaret's, edinburgh... went over to the open day and i loved it so fingers crossed... 3 b's seems a lot more doable than 510!
