Science in Trinity is great

Fringe

TP in Trinity as my first choice and Science as my second.

Pigwidgeon

well i want to go to UCD for radiography, but if i don't get that, then QMU in edinburgh for radiography, and if neither of those, maybe clinical measurement in DIT

Not as depressing and dark as the arts block, imo... We have lovely skylights. They have egg-boxes for a ceiling.

Actuarial and Financial Studies in UCD, provided I get the points which is no guarantee.

Kournikova

I really want to go to Trinity just cause It looks good.

I have like 6 choices at Trinity and I like all of them.

bythewoods

Medicine in Trinners for me, hopefully.
Or in UCD or NUI Galway, at this stage, I'm not too pushed as long as I get in somewhere

If that falls through, I'm thinking it'll have to be Pharmacy in Trinners. or Radiation Therapy. Or Human Helath and Disease Sciences. I'm not sure which to choose ...

djcervi

European Studies in Trinity hopefully (looking for about 500 points+ :eek:)
If I don't get to be a 'euro-stud', Hopefully French and Spanish in TCD, or Modern Languages in UCD. I'm a severe language nerd :cool:.

your the only other person i have heard of whos put that course down

hoping for med anywhere... have UCD down first at the moment but might change it to RCSI (free laptops!) or Trinity.
Human health and disease is after medicine closely followed by genetics.

dermo1990

I'm hoping for engineering in Trinity or UCD. Personally would prefer trinity. Not completely sure if its the right road to pursue

Richard Cranium

Financial Maths in Cork. It's only the maths thats holding me back...

I sort of know someone who's in 3rd or 4th year in that course, and I asked him about it the other night. He said it was easy. Then again, he got 600 points in the Leaving Cert, and a scholarship of some sort too. Also his Da is a maths teacher.

If I don't get that, or maths in Trinity, then I'll end up doing Accounting in UCC

I have it down after medicine, and so does a friend of mine. I'd say loads of people will have it as their second choice after medicine so the points will probably be quite high.

-ME-

I have Psychology and French (TSM) in Trinity down as number one and Psychology in Trinity as number two. To be honest, I don't really have any hope of getting the points for either of those (545+) so I don't mind doing something else.

I just can't decide whether to put European Studies in Trinity or Psychology in Cork down as number three as i'm more likely to get the points for these two courses (495+). I know I'd love European Studies cos I love languages and am interested in history and politics. However, I think I'd prefer the actual job prospects of psychology. Although I do hate science, I have this weird idea that I might find psychology okay cos it'd be so interesting. Oh I just don't know :rolleyes:

Jack Sheehan

Computer Science in Trinity. Need that higher C3 in Maths though.

LivingDeadGirl

CK103 - Arts with Music in UCC. It's 450, that's fine with me as I got more than that in the pres After that I've got Music in UCC and Music in CIT/School of Music. All my choices are in Cork, wasn't allowed go anywhere else(too expensive, but my parents can take 5 holidays a year and that's grand :rolleyes:).

I'd love to do TP. Good luck with it when you get it

As for me,no idea what I'm doing yet. Might put Science at UCD first but I'm not sure if that's what I want to do.

And a damn fine ceiling it is too :cool:

tootyflutty

Music and music only.
First choice is tied between D.I.T Conservatory of Music and C.I.T School of Music.
After that is Maynooth and some arts stuff, but I detest arts so hoping not stuck with one of them choices.
I got my points in the mocks for my courses, now just gotta pass the entrance test and audition

I have the exact same choices down on my CAO:), but I can't decide which would be better, TCD or UCD,, UCD is one year shorter but TCD just seems better,.??? How'd you choose???

Fince

Actuary in UCD, DCU or through Maths Science in UCC

--homeslice--

Law in Ucd, i have trinity down but... in all honesty... i WON'T get those crazy points!! Also psychology down in UCD, it looks pretty interesting like!

yeah i know.. i cant decide which is better either. i put trinity down first simply because the points are higher. i want to go on and do a post grad etc to become a clinical psychologist, so, in terms of years studying, ucd might be better.
im not sure, but some of my friends who are in ucd don't really like it whereas my friends in trinity are enjoying their first year. i asked the head of psychology in ucd and she said the courses in ucd and trinity are of equal standards, soooo ??? who knows, id be happy if i get into either, but id quite like to go to trinity because it looks pretty
