Any other takers?

Noel, you most hold some sort of record for CAO change of mind, you started the DCU thread and you were heavily set on UL at one stage too :pac:

i'm siobhán, 18 and going for speech + language therapy as number one too

JamJamJamJam

I would have needed 6 A1s to get into med on last year's points requirements and my HPAT. And seeing as it's very, very, very unlikely that they're going to drop or stay the same, I basically can't get in

But if it helps, I know other people who want to go there :P

RainbowDrops

Storming good choices folks.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Have commerce and french down as 5th choice, really want it though. I have the points for it from last year so I hope I don't beat last years tally to get my first choice (my first 4 choices have pretty much the same points).

And btw I probably wouldn't get the 480 required for Galway just in case you're wondering.

Schonie

Sonia here:) Would like to do Medicine in UCC but not getting my hopes up..still putting it as first choice though and hoping for the best:)

As a matter of genuine concern, was the CAO ever explained to you?

Yes I have quite a good understanding CAO. Up until a few weeks ago my heart was set on primary teaching, now I dont wanna do it.

What risk? Perhaps you should come down from your high horse and read over my previous post. g'lad.

Just out of interest you said the course you now want is fifth on your list as you no longer want to do primary teaching. What are the other four choices then as I thought Primary teaching was only taught in Mary I ,Limerick.

The risk of hoping for your fifth choice in a system that will try to give you the other four choices first.

You've made a late personal change of mind that the CAO are not able to acknowledge, I've seen this work very badly for others in the past and it's obviously never been pleasant.

So, Good luck. Hope the 22nd is not a disappointment.

What do you mean the risk of hoping for my 5th choice? When I filled out my CAO form I put down the courses I wanted most first. It just so happens the course I want most now is fifth, that could very well change a few weeks down the line, if it doesn't, so be it. It's not like I said to myself "ah sure I'll throw down my first choice fifth for da buzzzz..." I'm sure there are other options. And thanks for wishing me luck without adding one if then stupid little smiley faces.

I think you've taken him up a little wrong..he's not chastising you for hoping for your 5th choice, he just says it's a risk because the course you wanna do is 5th, and if you get the points required for any of your first four, you won't get it (as you know). It is a risk like, but not one you took intentionally.

Good luck with the results/offers anyways.

Digits

Computer Science is my second choice so I could well end up in UCC.

LC2010HIS

UCC Arts or Government for me.

Salty

So..with the points out and the offers soon to follow..any more heading for UCC?:p

teddy b123

Your IRC is empty... :P

Paauull

Either, Public Health & Health Promotion, or Arts for me!.. hopefully

Thisismetrying

I'm hoping for medicine. UCC really appeals to me over other colleges... I think the change of city would be refreshing too!

njd2010

Hoping for Law, I got 480 and it was 485 last year so I'm not sure how likely it is... If I don't get in there, off to UL to do Law Plus! either way I think I'll be happy

fergisimo

I'm hoping for Arts in UCC. I don't think I got the points (about 20 shy) but someone mentioned I could still get a place in 2nd or 3rd round offers. Probably not, but stranger things have happened. Just trying to stay positive

soccymonster

My second choice is UCC and it's very likely I'll get it now after I did better than I thought in the LC...

Won't know a soul going though so kinda brickin' it if I get offered it.. ><

LC2010HIS

Well...
My points certainly surprised me. Looking for Bio and Chem now *Crosses fingers for tomorrow*

It'll be kind of daunting having to pull out the social/friend making skills again and start from scratch:P

I'm going doing Arts now anyway!:)
