    This is directed at current TCD students who got in on TSM course in the second or third round in any year.

    If you got offered something in round 2, how much did it actually come down?

    was it 10 or 5 , because ive seen some that were 20 or 25

    just wanted to know if its likely for German & Film Studies to be offered to someone with 450 baring in mind that the lowest score people in the first round got was 470 (last year it went from 430 to 410 i think)

    :)

    It MIGHT come down that much, but usually it's only 5 or 10. As you said it has come down that much before, but I wouldn't count on it. When you consider how much it has risen from last year I think a drop of 20 points is unlikely.

    Ex-girlfriend got in on a 15 point drop.

    Unfortunately.

    To add to the original question, is there any chance the psychology combinations could drop from 560* to 550?

    Also, does anyone know what the procedure is if I find extra points when I recheck my papers and have enough for the course?

    You'll be offered the chance to switch to the new course (at no extra expense, any fees you have paid will be transferred). Alternatively, you may defer the place on the new course until next year, or you may stick with the course your are already doing.

    Would the course be automatically offered to me if I qualify or would I have to go chasing someone, do you know?

    Letter comes through the postbox/offer goes up on the CAO website, just like Round 1.

    In some courses that mightn't be possible - for example, in some lab subjects where there is a legal maximum number of people that can be in the laboratory - so they may have to offer only a deferred place. But in the vast majority of cases they just squeeze the extra person in.
