    Yep, got my pass maths (A2) and enough points to cover any fluctuation in points change (when do they come out? I thought it was today.).

    I'm hoping so. Not counting all my chickens yet, so to speak.

    Probably a bit early for this as their are probably plenty of people who are on the fringes of getting their course and won't know until monday.

    I got 45 points more then my course was last year so should surely get it :D

    Nope, 385 and was hoping for 400+. I was thinking of getting some papers rechecked cuz I've a feeling one or two were marked wrong. But then again whats the point? My course is 350 and isn't even that popular. I'm sorted!

    yup :)

    got 120 more than last years points for my course so it'd have to be a ridiculous jump in points for me not to get it!

    I got exactly what I was aiming for, which was 5 points more than last years points. I'm fairly content that I'll get my first choice. :)

    Despite worry about it over the summer I got more than enough.
    The course I want to do was 300 last year and I got 415.

    Even if the points for it do move upwards they wont move that much.

    Got 455 but was expecting over 500 before the exams. Knew I ****ed up after some of them though. Just didn't bring my A game on the day so to speak. Ara. I'm just as happy with my second choice which I have more than enough points for.

    Got my 1st choice of physiotherapy in UL, and i didn't expect it at all!! Got 535, but with extra points for UL, i got 570. Physio went up 10 from last year (555-565), so i just about got in there. :)
