    I'm just wondering if anyone else is having trouble understanding how ucd arts works. I've applied for english and art history and I'm not worried about getting the points but a lot of people have told me that the points shown are for arts in general and just because you get the points doesn't mean you'll get into the subjects you've chosen.
    This is something that has been worrying me and I wonder if anyone else is in the same boat.
    If I don't get the subjects I want, do I go down to my next choice of course or am I stuck in UCD arts and have to do whatever there is...?

    On the website, they said details on electives and registration etc would be put up at the end of June but nothing has been updated yet...

    I could never understand how arts at CD works. It kind of put me off applying . . .

    I have UCD Arts down as well, and my guidance counselor told me that you were guaranteed the subjects you put down, as long as you get the points for Arts.

    If you have applied specifically for subjects (Eng and Art History) through the CAO you would get preference over those who didn't decide. If you didn't choose subjects and left it until registration day you would have less of a chance of getting your choice, esp in the case of English.
