    Bebo is old news. Facebook is the way of the future, where my extended older family is doomed to stay in Friend Requests Limbo.

    Does IADT have a facebook group?

    I was just gonna ask that! I didn't think I had a chance when there was only 30 places and they're all on boards getting full marks on their portfolio!
    (Well done Sickle and Heeresjonny AND andymaq) and everybody else doing film & TV I'll see ye in september! And of course the non-film people were all friends here!:D Really looking forward to starting here it seems like such a great atmosphere!

    EVERY year I can remember the old Film Dip. and now the current Film & TV went to second round. And the points dropped more than 9 points. There are always people who have changed their minds between applying and offering - decide to take a year off, do something else etc.

    Wahey, I'm in Model Making and Digital Effects! It sounded like a good idea because it covers some architectural modelling and digital concept design, I turned down Industrial Design in NCAD for this, and also had Architecture in mind so I hope I enjoy it. And hope it broadens my horizons.

    Anyone else doing this course?? I don't see a thread for it >_>

    Each course has limited places (some courses offer an excess student limit as well to fit in any exceptions) some people will be getting the short end of the stick unfortunately.

    On your side of things, chances are some students offered places will turn them down in favour of something else, hold out for a second round place in another course, not accept their place and a few other eventualities. Keep your hopes up and keep in contact with the college. Have you chatted to Eoin Kelly in the student services office yet?

    Good luck.

    OK, for the record I work in Film so I don't know the exact details on the CAO and admissions but if the CAO round one points are X points and a student has attained greater than X points and they satisfy the minimum requirements for the college & course (see the prospectus, some courses need certain subjects like maths) then they should have been offered a place. If that hasn't happened then they should get on to the CAO and to IADT and not let go till they have a place offered.

    With the number of queries on this forum there maybe a mix-up at the CAO or IADT (or it could be down to legitimate reasons) but I'll drop an email to the Head of School in the morning and alert him to these posts.

    But anyone who thinks they have fulfilled the points and minimum requirements should contact the CAO and Eoin in admissions at IADT - they are busy but it's your future so keep at them till you get a result.

    Has anyone been sent their material for registration yet? :confused:

    I haven't received anything, not even an email and it seems to be getting quite late. It's been over a week.
    I'm probably over reacting because this week has been going so slow.

    The should be on their way to you at this stage, there's still a nice bit of time though so no need to worry.

    Give the college a call if you're still uneasy, they can confirm that they've sent the forms and details.

    Hi Folks,

    If you fall into the above category please make sure you contact the admissions office at IADT.

    http://www.iadt.ie/en/Staff/StaffDirectory/Name,1528,en.html

    contact details are above.

    Don't rely on hearsay or rumours. Contact the admissions office where Eoin will be only too happy to discuss your particular situation with you.

    If you can't get through on the phone please send an email, I'm sure you can understand that the office is extremely busy at this time of the year and it is not always possible to get to all calls immediately.

    cheers

    The FETAC course in Dhulaigh?

    Either way, great for him. The changes they're making in Fine Arts 1st year are great, he should have a lot of fun.
