    My guess it'll be around 480 in trinity, UCD going up by 85 is madness. Trinity is my first choice, be interesting to see what the points are, i got 550 so should be grand hopefully.

    It means nothing, they've just taken a load of stats from the sheet to make an article. Might indicate no significant change though.

    hmmm, I know I'll be offered real estate in LIT:rolleyes:
    Don't even know why I put it down, I have no intention of ever doing it!!
    I was sure I'd get at least 360 as I got 380 in the pre's - I ended up with 320:rolleyes:

    No chance of getting my arts degree(mary I) or even early child hood ed.(mary I):(

    I would say that's a good thing. Expect little rise, possibly 5 points. The fact that they didn't mention it, probably means the points haven't dropped due to the big news of the education cuts in the system, a drop would be seen as big news I'd say.

    i didnt think things could jump up that high! In fairness, you'll probably need the grades for something like science... Not for everyone, you know?

    Would I be too optimistic in assuming that any courses not mentioned in the Times' article will not have an astronomical rise in points?

    I wouldn't bet on it. The Times would have been looking for anything that fell in line with the points they wished to put forward. Anything outside of this or where points didn't rise or fall generally may not have made the cut.
