** CAO Offers - the OFFICIAL waiting thread - LINK to Points list in FIRST POST ***

Edit: POINTS LIST HERE!




So less than 12 hours until the offers are out.
Just out of curiosity, what is the lowest preference/choice you would be offered and accept without repeating?
Personally, I've thought of doing ny first choice (Pharmacy in TCD) for so long that I'm not sure of I'd be comfortable in anything lower.


*******************************************************************************************************

Ok, we may as well make this one the official thread.

WORD OF WARNING:

Anyone trolling and (seriously) claiming to have inside information / got the paper early etc. etc. without being able to back up their claims will be banned.

In fact, we've asked for sitebans in the past for serious cases of malicious scaremongering, and the Admins have been more than happy to implement them.

No-one needs that crap, thanks.

I'm the same as yourself, I've thought about my 1st and 2nd choices so much that if I don't get either of them, I don't know what I'll do. Points-wise, I should be okay for both of them, so fingers crossed!

If I don't get medicine, I think I'll be happy with TSM in Trinity (which I'm certain I got). After that, I'm out.

Anyone here expecting to get LM080 (ELECTRONICS) tomorrow?

1. Trinity TSM Mathematics and Economics - Unlikely
2. Trinity Mathematics - Unlikely
3. Trinity BESS - Highly Likely

I got 520 which was a disgrace for me
Although I managed to get my second language French, after not doing Irish. Kinda a miracle as I had no prior knowledge or lessons in French, I just went in and sat the exams somehow getting a D2 at pass...

I'm 30/40 points over last years points yet I still feel like I'm not going to have enough :O

55 points over what is needed for applied languages in UL .. I'm hoping they don't go up like 60 points or something now. :P

Hi,
I have applied for Arts in NUIG as my first choice. The points were 300 last year and im 5 points off if it does not go up. I understand that there are people with way higher points than the minimum 300 applying for this course who will get first preference, those using it as a back way to teaching etc. So are my chances of getting in on second or third round offers basically non existent?

Hoping for Primary Teaching in St Pats. Was 470 last year and I got 465. Nervous to say the least!

They're not non-existant, given that arts courses generally have come down over last few years, but you're certainly not home free. You will have a better idea once you see the first round points.

I just thought I'd start a thread for the CAO offers starting from tomorrow onwards.

Post below what you are hoping for, and where you would like to study it.

Also, who is staying up all night for the offers starting at 6am?

Post away lads!

Congratulations, OP, on this being the official 'Offers' thread. This thread is one of the highlights of my year, because it's full of drama and I always want everyone to be delighted at 6.00 a.m. tomorrow.

But honestly, there is, actually, more than one way to achieve your goal - so please everyone, don't panic or be too disheartened.

The CAO points race is farcical, in a way - driven by supply and demand, rather than by common sense. But the wit and character shown by people posting on these threads over the years proves to me that the youth (and mature students) of Ireland have talent and abilities that goes way beyond exam grades.

It will be all right in the end - and if it's not all right - it's not the end. Honestly.

I'm for pharmacy in TCD too OP In saying that I'd happily accept any pharmacy offer, I just want to get started!

Words of encouragement from The Traveling Wilburys for all ye nervous ones out there

Well it's all right...

I wanted to do Marketing in CIT, missed out by ten points, only dropped by 5 the past 3 years.

I'm now left with Hospitality Management in CIT, points wise I'm almost certain I have it.

Originally, I wanted to do Business Studies in CIT but long story short, I messed up my CAO.

Nonetheless, I'm happy with Hospitality Management but anything coins happen, everything happens for a reason lads, remember that!

Computing in NCI, 50 points clear so should be sorted

Monsieur Folie

I'm 70 points in the clear for Science at TCD, so I should be okay.

Still nervous though. I have a few friends who are 5-10 points above/below their respective courses and I want them all to get what they want!

ahmdoda

I'm 5 points over the 440 needed for my course in DCU, needless to say I'm ****ting they will go up 10 and leave me screwed.

TehFionnster

I know it may seem ridiculous, but I care not.
Is there any chance at all the points for medicine will drop?
