    From my understanding, you need to place them down individually by tomorrow evening. Clear your CAO, and slap every medical related course onto your CAO application just in case. You can remove them at a later stage.

    10. GY502 Occupational Therapy

    so so so scared

    If Speech and Language is your number one choice, is there a reason you don't have GY503 down second? You could end up getting the points for that, but end up getting the place in Science or Psychology, because you have that higher up your list.

    Well I don't mind what I do.. SLT, OT, Psychology or Science! I am stuck!
    I don't have it up there on my 2nd as I don't like Galway and the course.

    and plus If i did not get my first I would actually get OT as that course is lower points than Psychology and Science :) And I would love either!

    I'm trying to help you.
    Every year people make silly mistakes on their CAO, like putting courses on that they have no interest in.
    You could easily end up getting one of these courses, but of course ignore helpful advice if you want.

    P.S. Please read the charter. You may be new here, but it's no excuse for rudeness.

    This will be my last post. You can't tell me that I will get a course I don't like when I love Science, Psychology, OT etc..

    It is my CAO. It is WHAT I want.
    And plus, you don't even know me or what grades I get?

    Of course he doesn't know you! He is trying to give you helpful advice while you are stubborn to accept it.

    Are you for real? You JUST said "I don't like Galway and the course", and spurious made a perfectly valid point which could save you a lot of trouble come August if that is true. To anyone who doesn't know you (i.e. everyone here), it looked very strange, and later admitting to having a course you don't like in a college you don't like on your CAO isn't any less strange, so less of the personal abuse and start being able to tell when someone is trying to help you.

    But you said you don't like Galway or GY503.

    And yet it's on your CAO so you could end up getting it.

    You just said you don't like it, so why can't she say you might end up with a course you don't like?

    Even it's at 9th, that could still be the couse you get offered and a lot of people don't realise that until they get their offer August. She was trying to help you.

    Worst case scenarios and all that. You rank by the courses you would like to do. No need to get annoyed, it's people's personal choice as long as they can justify their order to themselves. I had an CIT as my number 10 for a while. I'd never go there though if I could avoid it.
