Dreading Monday....

ToodlyWoodly

Anyone else feeling sick of the thought of CAO places comin out on Monday?? This is my 3rd year in a row waiting for them and the feeling of dread gets worse eash year!! What makes it even worse for me is that for the last 2 years I've had the points for the course I wasnt to do....but didn't realise it was actually what I wasnted to do and had it further down my list of choices!!! Hindsight is a great thing.....

Really hoping to get Nursing in Dublin or Dundalk but only have like 10points leeway on last year!!

Some guy put up a photocopy of the paper last year that had the points on it round 4 30am! Really hoping somebody will do that again this year. I've tried ringin round places to see what time papers come in at but they all said like 7am....:mad:

I am pretty nervous! Think it might be an all-night affair as I probably won't be able to sleep if I tried In the unlikely event UCD Science stays under 420 I will be thrilled

Ooh where u hoping to do nursing? Yeah, its so unpredicatble! They say there's record number of applicants but they dont do a breakdown so its so hard to know!!

Conor108 its definately gonna be an all night affair!! Least we'll have other people on boards to help keep us somewhat sane :P if thats even possible! Damn CAO...why couldn't they come out the same day as results? or even the day after.

I have to say I'm dreading Monday to. I have honestly no idea what to expect but I'm trying not to think of it too much. I got 415 and I'm hoping to get either computer science in trinity or ucd. I really hope I have enough points. Best of luck on Monday

I've two offers through the ucas thingy but, considering my results I don't think I will get them. I've applied for early childhood education in cork so fingers crossed for that. But seriously , people need to relax and be like this polar bear.

cheers mate same to you too!!! tbh i'd say you have a good chance of getting into ucd!!!!

In fairness, it's hard not to be wound up about it, but it won't actually help.

Try to keep yourself distracted ... go out with friends, springclean your room, go swimming / playing sport, whatever. Actually, the more exercise the better, as it will not only occupy your time but tire you out and help you sleep.

Nah, no money We should fly it though

Im thinking of Geography, History, Politics and another teaching subject but I'm not sure which one.. I was going to do English but I'm not really sure about it.. I'm not great at English like. Any suggestions!?!

We'll just have to wait and see :cool:

Craguls

Given it has 330 or so places for TCD science shouldn't jump up that much. The median points last year were 485 provided you have that I'd say you're ok.

Caffro

Have 260 points and a FETAC level 5 award. Hoping to get into Blanchardstown IT this year doing Computing!

Really excited guys, good luck to everyone

I got 475 so a little under the median but hopefully I'll still be ok. It's the waiting and not knowing that's getting to me!

anyone know what time the offers are online from?

6am my friend... Or 2am on here if that petition goes ahead.

Pineapple123

I have to say, I wasn't nevous for the actual results because I thought I wasn't going to get anyways near what I wanted, and now that I did, I can't sleep, I get a sick feeling when I think about it...

I heard a theory recently, maybe someone could confirm it? If points are going up, the courses with lower points are more likely to rise more, then course with higher points? Like, it wouldn't be a massive surprise to see a course for 200 points rise by 80 points, wheras it'd be a bit of a shock to see a course for 515 rise by 30?! I don't know if I even understand what I just wrote there, but if you get me let me know what you think?! Ugh..so NERVOUS!!!

bleh!

My sister's hoping to get nursing too! She has 400 points and has TCD, UCD, DCU, and Dundalk in that order. Do yous think it will go up like 20 points? I really hope it doesn't!

KingLear

Got 560, and Primary teaching is 480. Gonna have the most relaxing weekend of my life.............sweet

ricadoo

Got 490 and doing Chemical Sciences in UCC, which, last year, was only 330 points so hopefully it won't rise by 160! :P

randylonghorn

Can I just remind some of our newer members that textspeak is unwelcome on this site?

Good luck, everyone, and try not to worry too much.

Grace16

I got 495 and am hoping for Primary Teaching but i don't think that i'm going to get it. I wasn't expecting to get 495 or anywhere near enough for primary teaching so i'm more nervous now then when i was getting my results. Just looking forward to getting it all over with haha

Wow, how many subjects do you do? I did Geography, Maths and Psychology. Loved Geography, maths was very tough and psychology was interesting but really hard work!!

Serious countdown begins now guys and gals!! Best of luck to everyone. As my sister said...whats meant for you wont pass you by....here's hoping

lalee17

I'm absolutely freaking out. My no.1 choice is science in NUIM. I'm short 15 points from last year. Is there a chance the points will go down? It's been 350 for the last 3 years AFAIK.
