On July 4th or 5th, I'll know if I got into any of the programming courses. I hope they're not too strict about who they accept.

Completed the general science studies access course this year and passed all my exams. Applied for 3 IT based courses so now just waiting to see if I've been offered my first choice.

Lads don't worry there are plenty of mature students in WIT including myself! Its a great spot and you won't feel out of place whatsoever.

I myself was very apprehensive going down on day 1 but after about 10 mins I had a heap of new friends in a similar situation. Now I've just finished 2nd year and I don't feel any bit out of place, Yes some of the rag week activities etc are aimed at the younger crowd but it doesn't really bother me too much as Id prefer to go to lectures than go drinking all day

THere is a mature student society who arrange activities during the years which Id encourage you to join on societies day ( usually in the first few weeks )

Not long now! I don't know about you guys, but I'm flipping my **** in anticipation.

I was informed that I was accepted to DIT so it looks like I won't be going to WIT. WIT won't be making their offers available until the middle of July.

But if I have a stroke on July 5th [from not hearing anything], I'm holding W.I.T. responsible.

Im technichally a mature student although on the lower end of things.

There was a lot of mature students in the class and i think they all are pretty happy and mix pretty well.

I was on the phone to W.I.T. about the date Mature Students should know. We will know whether we've been accepted by the end of this week. She said we will be notified both from the CAO and from W.I.T itself. Good luck everyone!

Thanks for the update. I wonder why I was told that they wouldn't be looked at until after the 15th then.

Some of you might get a surprise if you log into CAO today.

I logged into CAO and my DIT course is showing up, but no sign of WIT. I guess WIT isn't offering me a placement.

Are you applying as a Mature Student over age 23? If not, it may take longer to hear from them.
