Don't worry man theirs another round of offers in august, you could still get what you want yet, keep the head up! sher even if you don't get in this year look at doing a few access courses or Fas course that are computer related to keep you occupied till you can apply again, definatly consider doing something like this because it greatly improved my application and impressed the the two interviewers that i had to meet earlier this year, especially if its related to the course you wanna do!
Cheers, I was sorta dissapointed when I seen that. But ya thats a good idea to do a computer course until next year. Thanks. 0 -

Hi totally agree. I have been stuck in construction for the last 17 years. Did one year on a VTOS course and am now going to TCD to do a degree in history and political science 2 subjects I have a major passion for. Anyone who was unlucky in this roundof offers please hold on in there because if I can get in you sure as hell will too.0 -

Strange. So it seems that nobody got the offers in the post?! Anyone that did can ya let us know, so we can see if it was a nationwide glitch.
Also congrats to everyone who got what they wanted
I am not sure what I feel, I don't know if I want it:rolleyes:
Hi what course did you get and why are you not to sure about it[/QUOTE]

I have had a pretty shítty few years, and home and everything is just so urgh and I just want to get away from it allITS_A_BADGER wrote: »i know you shouldnt have to check the website to check offers i suppose you can only blame anpost for that, i did recieve an offer in the post but it from Lyit my level 7 choice, however my offer for my level 8 selection was not in the post but on the cao website so ill probably get it in the post tomorrow i guess

[QUOTE=HDOWNEYThey were two different institues i applied to, the letter that i got this morning was from LYIT and was in an envelope marked LYIT on the outside that was a level 7, the other insititue was SLIGO IT this was a level 8 and was on the cao website, i wouldnt imagine these would come in the same envelope marked with LYIT on the outside? Maybe if they were both from the same insitute you would receive both offers in the same envelope?
[QUOTE=SEAN1976Lmao it's called centralisation, stream line and efficient my arse, perfect example the medical card disaster.[/QUOTE]
My guess is the lack of postal offers is due to anpost? like how did i recieve an letter from letterkenny IT quicker then sligo IT when im 40mins from sligo and nearly 2 and half from letterkenny? I dont know but i sure am greatful for the website because id be pretty disappointed otherwise0 -

Ah I thought you meant your CAO offer came, but only had the level 7 on it.0 -
I'm going into Science too - soooo excited. Well done Cocolola.
Many Congratulations to all who got their CAO choices today especially the Scientists!! I'm two years down the road for a lvl 8 Science degree as a mature so I can tell you it will be hard, fun and rewarding. Even though some of your friends and family will raise their eyebrows when you start to do the science explanation for everything 0 -

Thanks for the kind words all, Access course in October it is, here's to preparing myself more and trying again next year
Well done to those getting the choices you wantedBUBBLE WRAP wrote: »Ya, it a cnut, but thats life. Im not expecting anything either in august either. Access course sounds like a plan.
Just to say (I've probably promoted them so much on this forum), access courses are great and third level institutions look on applicants who completed them favourably.
I was in the exact same position as you guys the first year I applied so I understand how disheartening it is. I'm now about to go into final year of a course myself (shamefully) and others thought I wouldn't be able for! :eek:
Never give up on your dreams.0 -

Just echoing what other posters have said. If you did get a knockback from a college don't take it personally. It is always possible to strengthen your application for next year. An Access or FETAC course can really make a difference, not only to your application but in how prepared you are for the reality of college life and work. 0
