What is (or will be!) on your CAO 2014?

RedMickeyMouse · 09-10-2013 10:33pm #1

Shoot me if it's too early but I said I'd give it a shot! Before we know it the time will have arrived and why not have given it a bit of thought by the time the window open a little less than a month from now? Bit nervous, always wanted to be at the start of a thread like this, even repeated just for the chance but I'll get it underway!

At the moment I'm thinking:

1. Law and German TCD
2. Law TCD
3. Law and History or Economics UCD
4. Business and Law UCD
5. Law International UCC
6. Law Clinical UCC
7. Law UCC
8. Commerce International with German UCD
9. Commerce International with German UCC
10. Commerce UCD

1. Computer Science in Trinity
2. Computer Science in UCD
3. Pharmacology (UCD)
4. Analytical Chemistry (DCU IIRC, I have the handout from Higher Options...)
5. Teaching in some form

And I'll fill the rest out with duplicates of those courses in various unis.

Gunslinger92 · 18-10-2013 8:05pm

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is the wrong thread butI dunno where else to ask

My sister is in 6th year at the moment and she just told me that her guidance counselor told her that she has to put her CAO choices in order of points?! As opposed to preference?
I'm in the final year of my degree now so it's been a while since I did anything with the CAO but my understanding is that that is not what you should be doing?

Thanks

yournerd · 18-10-2013 8:13pm

Wooohooo go Law aspiring people

LostBoy101 · 18-10-2013 8:51pm

The lack of Computer Science so far is shocking..

that's definitely NOT what you should do, put down the course you want the most in no.1!!

You're right, that's what she's supposed to not do.

Im going to put this to you straight and I want you to relay this message to your sister directly.

Her GC is a tool and she shouldn't listen to any more of her shíte talk. It wont be long before she suggests that she takes an IT course or a business course "because there are jobs available"

If she wants straight advice from students that have done this, Doing this and teachers that see this year after year she should post here in the LC forum.

Giver her this example.

My CAO went like this

College/Course/Points

1. NUIG/ Comp Sci & IT/ 420

2. UCD/ Comp Sci/ 480

3. DIT/ Comp Sci/ 405

NUIg is top because I love Galway. Ask anybody from last year.

I take it you are looking at Comp Sci then? I like you.

Gunslinger92 · 19-10-2013 11:54am

Thanks guys, I knew well I was right :P It's quite worrying that this person is telling people that..

NCI, decent small college and happy with the course so far. However the Maths is a bit of a bore fest so far.

Corvo Attano · 19-10-2013 4:42pm

Maths is screwing me over at the moment but I like it.

NCI seems great. _Tyrell_ seems to like it.
