    Nope but I will be up at 7am refreshing and refreshing and refreshing... My Dad rang UCD and they said it will be some time between 7.30 am and 9.30 am but it could be anything.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 LCLIFE


    So it won't be open before 7? No point in staying up till like 1/2 in the morning?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 pajc


    No. He said he waited up and that it didnt open til bout 8am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭fishnetsxD


    My boyfriend said it was seven last year.
    But its a ****ty system cause people who live in Dublin apply and get in -.-
    Like where you live should be considered tbh.
    Then we have to go to school after it all so I am up now to get ready for school so I won't be distracted when it actually opens.

    I entered my CAO number but didn't confirm once it said my application was found. Should I be ok? Can I check if I still have my first number?

    You need to confirm. Apply again, press confirm then press log out once your application has been confirmed.

    You are absolutely wrong I just gave up 502 for 950 with your advice. FFS. Why would you do something like that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 LCLIFE


    139!!! ❤️ are you guaranteed it if you are in the top 700?

    I'm repeating this year but some of my friends last year were over 2000 and they got offered places so you will be fine. Don't worry

    You can still log in to see your number, I've done it about 3 times at this stage just to make sure? So you can check! Just make sure you click log out and not leave the waiting list!

    From the UCD residences website

    ''As the ranking system is open to all CAO students it is our experience that even students with a ranking of over 2,000 on the list can get an offer of accommodation.''

    I emailed UCD one hour ago to ask them if they think it should be ok but they have not answered yet . Some people last said also said they got offered a place althought they were number 2000 on the list ! Finger crossed ;) !

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 137 ✭✭Nicke011


    Slightly off topic, but hope someone will explain me.
    This is applying for campus, right? Does this works the same way on Trinity? Waiting list and all that stuff?

    This is applying for campus, correct. In Trinity you get your offer first and then apply for student accommodation I think. You have to write a couple of hundreds words as to why you should get it or something. Fortunately, they take your location into account I think so if you're from say, Mayo (me) you should have a better chance.

    I'm not sure of the exact details but this is roughly it AFAIK.

    Sounds like a much better organization, thanks for the info!
