ironictoaster

You serious? Was going to change a few of my lower down courses but well wouldn't be arsed starting from scratch.

Piste

Oh is that tomorrow? Cool, it's free isn't it?


I'm thinkin I might take RCSI off my CAO, I just don't think I'd be happy there. Might wait until after the LC though.

SarcasticFairy

Yes. Everything needs to be shifted around and I have 6 courses to put down...which will leave me with 11, so I'll have to pick one to get rid of.

It's free, and stays open until the 1st of July IIRC.

xOxSinéadxOx

oh didn't know it was tomorrow, have to pretty much change everything on it!

antomorro-sei

Gonna change the whole bloody thing!

I just did it there, got rid of a few courses I didn't really want. It look so empty now

I don't think I'd like to go there either, but I would take it because I just REALLY want medicine.
I've Galway ahead of it so there's a slim chance I'll end up there. Still...
I don't want UCC either, so maybe I'm just being too fussy...

Piste, you don't have Galway or Cork down, am I right?
That's a big risk! Seriously hope you get one of the others.

Pigwidgeon

i think i kept one course the same on mine... my number 1, then added in a good few, took some off and generally moved them all around... mind you i'll probably do that about a hundred times between now and july!

degausserxo

Everything but my first choice is changed! I just had a 'screw you, parents/teachers/other' moment and filled it up with English-based courses.
There are surprisingly few outside of TCD..

lou91

Got rid of about 6 that I just put down to make up the numbers.

I was reading something about the change of mind and it said only 40% used it. I was pretty shocked, I thought nearly everyone did it.

Really? where did you read that? liike yourself i would have thought that nearly everyone would have some changing to do!:eek:

woohooo

I think I'd love law... but I love French too. Im thinking Law and French would be tough though so maybe I'll do law and then take french as an elective.Then again would law be boring???... I want to enjoy college too!

My guidance counsellor is USELESS! He told me to be a midwife :eek:

The only question that remains is....
WHERE??

I'm leaning towards Dublin... UCD or Trinity?? UCC is also an option though.



Ive been to the 3 colleges and they all have pros and cons.
I have serious issues with making up my mind so I'd just love if a random stranger told me what to do!!!!
I'm sure a lot of people are in this position... the joys of youth ayy??

cautioner

Top 5 remain various Med courses, gonna shuffle the order depending on if I'd rather do a pre-med year or not. Other 5 are gonna change completely (Pharmacy = yeah, no, not so much, thanks), still considering my options.

SarcasticFairy

I changed mine aorund earlier. Left the first four in tact, and the ones below that were just thrown away. Replaced them with courses I found after it closed, but I have one space left that I want to fill just because it's empty at the end...

Fringe

I've got TP in Trinity first now. I also got some random letters from the CAO but I didn't really bother reading them yet.

I'm the same after the medicine option d00d.
Pharmacy? Not Pharmacy?
Radiation Therapy?
Something something?

I was seriously considering Radiation Therapy last year, was offered it this year.But then I was talking to one... and the first thing she told me was...

We get to stick things inside women's va-jay-jays.

So not a cool introduction...

tufterween

Yeah... im changing my first choice of primary teaching to the second choice and putting nutritional dietetics down in first.... then i'm adding loads of stuff on at the bottom

I only know of 2 people who did law in UCC and both changed their course after completing 1 year. One changed to european studies and the other to speech therapy. That's completely random and unscientific but that's my tuppence.

What about NUI Maynooth ?

I'm between those three too. Leaning towards UCD at the moment...my guidance counselor told me to do history at UCC. I'm not even doing history for the LC.

You dont have to delete everything, just copy and paste across, takes like 4 seconds. Theres even buttons beside each to help copy and paste.

woohooo

Extrasupervery,
I've been thinking about what to do all day (and for the last few months) and I still dont know. Im almost certain I want to go to Dublin. (Maynooth- meh)
In Trinity they award an LL.B and in UCD they award a BCL. Whats the difference? Are you thinking about being a solicitor or barrister or something completely different? From what I've heard its difficult to get an apprenticeship if you don't know someone in the business.
Hmm.. Im reading both the college websites at the moment and they both seem fantastic. Its just so hard to decide!! My friends all seem to know what they want to do whih makes me panic all the more!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

LL.B is a bachelor of law and BCL is a bachelor of civil law...which seem to be pretty much the same thing. I've considered law but I'm not even sure what degree I want to do yet, I couldn't find much difference between any of the degrees I'm interested in so I'm just gonna pick a college then a degree. Might sound like a round about way of doing things but at this stage I don't really care. I've been to UCD and Trinity and I like them both for different reasons...

dermo1990

Changed engineering in trinity to number 1

OneArt

Changed first choice to German & Italian in Trinity. Second is Applied Language in DCU. I think the DCU one I'd enjoy the most, but I don't really care which one I get. I just wanna do languages, and I put Trinity first cuz apparently it looks impressive to employers.

European Studies at Maynooth is third... I'm guessing German and Economics would be pretty handy.

manutd4life

i've just left my cao the way it is.

Des23

Just put Financial and Actuarial Mathematics first, after realizing I would make an awful Doctor, and that maths is way more fun than people! (also the points would probably be an issue!:D)

I've put a few other maths/engineering choices down but I have to put more thought into them

Yeah, Ive heard same and like the courses there too, but tbh I just cant get a good feel for trinity, I duno what it is about the place.

K4t

I want to do law but I also want to do economics, French and English desperately! I'm going to put L&A Maynooth number 1 I think.

for years i thought law was all i wanted to do! now there is no jobs to be had and i now love economics!! so its corp law in NUIG but at the same time i think i would nearly be happier doing arts!:eek:

Do you have your Cao in your CV or something?

I am thinking of alright! It's between Law, various business courses, Government, Arts (I would do Maths and Geography to be a secondary school teacher) and Health and Performance Science! So hard to arrange them!

The Queen of England, Duh

Futurism

Science in Trinity first. Then Science in UCD second. Have no idea what else to put down and I probably won't get the 300 points required for UCD anyway.

english4490

changed mine again! anyone else think they will be changing things and the order of them till the 1st of july!:eek:

Very few, but if I was an employer you did French in TCD, then I'd probably hold other applicants from other colleges in higher esteem, as I am yet to hear something positive about the French Department in TCD.

It really depends what area you're talking about. If I was hiring in the area of Irish Media I'd probably favour DCU graduates if none of them had work experience.

Need to shuffle mine around a bit, stick Phys Chem of Advanced Materials down, get rid of a few things etc.

Risteard

I'm still debating whether to drop French and do just Business as opposed to Business with French. A new course was added as well so I might add that.

Idjit

i originally had ten filled up until i found out some of the courses i was applyin to were in private colleges and i cant afford to go to them! so now im down to seven.im really hoping i get into History though!

What a good thing I hate French. With a passion.
