Fetac Offers from CAO

DonnaMarieAva

Hi

I was just wondering if anybody knows when Fetac applicants get offered a place in uni? Are we part of Round 0 (Non-Standard applicant) or do we have to wait until the 20th for the Round 1 along with the Leaving Cert applicants?

Thanks

RebeccahLouise

Hi there! We're part of round zero! So we get to find out this Thursday at 6am (I think it's 6am) Good Luck!

DonnaMarieAva

Hi! Thanks for that. Only two days left oh my God! Thanks Mr S for your reply too. Good luck to ye. I hope you get your first choice!

Further Ed.

Applicants who applied for a place via the Higher Education Links Scheme (generally to the universities) will receive their offer in Round 0 while applicants who are assessed under the Pilot scheme (genrally in the Institutes of Technology) compete with Leaving Cert students for a place and they get their offers in Round 1.

May I ask ye Posters who are waiting for College Entry from the FETAC Route; - if your Course was available in College / Level 7, why did ye go for it in PLC? Am always just curious about this.

Hi. What does your question mean exactly? I don't quite understand it! Thanks

Wait, I have both Universitys and Institutes of Technology on my CAO. How will that work out?

How can you be sure of this? I was told by my guidance counsellor after I finished my PLC course that I would receive a place (hopefully) on the 2nd of August for my level 8 course because Round Zero is for all applicants who are not waiting on Leaving Cert examination results.

2)Carlow IT

DonnaMarieAva

Hi! I would assume that if you got an offer tomorrow, you won't get one on the 20th from the IT's. But if you don't get an offer tomorrow, hopefully you'll get an offer on the 20th. That's the way I see it. But call CAO on 091 509 800 for more information. They should be able to answer your question! Hope this helps ya:)

Hi everyone, good luck to you all! I was wondering can we check the results tonight at midnight?

DonnaMarieAva

Hi Amy. Unfortunately no, we can't see our offers at midnight. You'll have to set your alarm for 6 am Im afraid! Good luck to you too

Vista255

rang cao, she said any college , ITs or uni's will be sending offers tomorrow so id say it depends on how well ya did.. seem legit?

DonnaMarieAva

Yeah it seems legit. But it kind of goes against what Further Ed. said,

"Applicants who applied for a place via the Higher Education Links Scheme (generally to the universities) will receive their offer in Round 0 while applicants who are assessed under the Pilot scheme (genrally in the Institutes of Technology) compete with Leaving Cert students for a place and they get their offers in Round 1."

Unless I'm misunderstanding the quote

No offence to FurtherEd, but if Vista rang CAO and was told that, i'd stick to that.


Best of luck everyone.

My heart maybe about to be broken,the 2nd Of August has been the day I've had circled for months upon months in the hope my future in education may finally take a new road & one to give me a better future..

However today I was told I won't qualify for tomorrows ROund Zero and i've to wait 3 weeks

I got my L.C results in 2009 & FETAC Course Results in 2010...if thats any help,can anyone tell me for definit..i'm not waiting on results..

DonnaMarieAva

Im sorry to hear that BrenIreland. Why won't you qualify for Round 0? You're a non-standard applicant. If you didn't get exam results this year, then how can you qualify for Round 1?

Exactly,I think my source is unreliable,I hope so...

I was 3 years ago I got my L.C results and I have my FETAC 1+Years,I think I'll qualify for tomorrow?..do you think so?

DonnaMarieAva

I would certainly think so! A non-standard applicant is someone who is Fetac, international or an applicant with no exam results this year. So, according to what I've researched, you would be qualified for tomorrow. Check out cao.ie. Then go to My Application. The dates will be there.

How did everyone do?

DonnaMarieAva

To be honest, I didn't get an offer but Im waiting for the 20th now. If I don't get one on the 20th its all the matter! How about you?

All distinctions and I still didn't get an offer....
Gutted.

Amy12345678910

I didnt get an offer either... and do you think the 20th is promising?

imjayr

it'a 6:20am! and i have seen my offer yet. i feel like vomiting . are the offers given throughout aug2, or just at exact 6am?

ChristinaIndigo

it just says 'there are no offers available to you at this time' on mine...

Amy12345678910

I was sure I had my place, I had over the results needed and it was my only choice, I just had a number one. I was so sure, I honestly feel flat now.

AaronB100

everyone from my course this year hasn't got an offer yet, the CAO is usually slow so don't be panicking guys

I was so sure too.. I had 4 down though

Amy12345678910

really??? theres a chance still?

DonnaMarieAva

Yeah I know. I got 7 distinctions and a merit. Oh well yeah I think the 20th might just be our lucky date! They do say on CAO that the majority of places are given on that date. So we'll just have to wait...

They were on the money last year with timing when the LC CAO came out... That's the only reason I'm up lol

AaronB100

Yes! just give it time, it's not instantaneous

Brenireland

nothing

DonnaMarieAva

There's still a chance? Last year, if I can remember correctly, offers were issued at 9. Do reckon its the same this year despite what the website says?

AaronB100

look lads and girls the fact that none of us have offers and we all done pretty good should be logic enough to realise that it's just the CAO being slow

No

DonnaMarieAva

As far as Im aware, you just get your offers at the one time. Not throughout the day

I hope you know your getting my hopes up...

imjayr

Im pretty sure there's a jam, I'll give it until 12pm.

what did everyone apply for course wise??.

Brenireland

getting into college was the difference in staying in this country and not..no work,no education,nothing.:(

Amy12345678910

Has NOBODY here got an offer? Or know of anyone with an offer?

DonnaMarieAva

Lol you're getting mine up too!
