Trinity Offer Issue

    So I have about 520 points. And Science at trinity was my first choice. Below of that I chose Theoretical Physics, Maths and Earth Science all at Trintiy. My fifth choice was science at DCU. And this is what is my offer now.
    I am really confused that I got offerd my 5th choice as I was certain that I should get my first choice offered right away. :confused:

    The thing is I am a student from germany and send in my exam results to CAO and my only explanation is that TCD may kind of not accepted them for some reason.

    Did you meet the requirements they specifically asked of you? For your conditional offer did they say you needed a certain amount of A's and B's? Did you meet the maths requirement they asked of you?

    It sounds like this may be a matriculation issue. Did you hit these requirements (I'm guessing you did the Abitur)?

    Well from what I got I was well above those minimum requirements, got in every relevant subject mentiond there something equal to an A. And from the formula they have posted there, I am supposed to have 520 points.
    This is really frustrating because I was certain I'd get this offer. :(

    Edit: Oh wait, no... NO :( I think I should have gotten 10 points in physics at least in the written overall exam, I thought they ment the overall grade, I messed this one exam up, it was just this single one.
    I knew this would come back at me. Why can't they just look over this, don'T the other A's matter :S

    2. Edit: But I should at least get the offer for mathematics as I met all the requirements there. Hm, I'll just wait what will happen in the second round I guess

    If it's an issue with individual course requirements, then nothing will change between now and the second round. You should contact the Admissions Office now.

    I just contacted them, I am courious what they will have to say as I am 100% sure that I met all the requirements for mathematics, in case the points didn't go above 520

    For Maths TCD you need HB3 and 500 points... if you didn't get offered that then you either didn't get the HB3 or CAO thinks your didn't get a HB3

    Well I do have more than 500 points and have 14 points in Maths which is equivilant to an A and I think that should be something like HB3 or above.

    Anyway, I contacted them about everything and mentiond the fact about the math requirements specifically. So I'll just be patient now and hope for the best.
