CAO - Round A

Ross1986 · 02-07-2014 9:44am #1

Does anyone know what time tomorrow the Round A offers are due out?

Been relatively calm about the whole thing leading up to this week but getting very nervous at this stage. Good luck to everyone waiting on offers!

spurious · 02-07-2014 9:52am

I think it's 6am. It was in previous years.
Good luck.

Ross1986 · 02-07-2014 10:01am

Cheers Spurious!

Owryan · 02-07-2014 10:03am

Is it tomorrow?. The college I applied to told me it was the 4th.

Best of luck anyway

Ross1986 · 02-07-2014 10:24am

I was told by UL it was the 3rd July so unless they have it wrong then hopefully it's tomorrow!

spurious · 02-07-2014 11:34am

Just checked this.
CAO say the 4th.

Looks like UL were wrong so!

spurious · 02-07-2014 11:47am

Irish people have difficulty with months that only have 30 days. It confuses us.

Murphster · 02-07-2014 3:58pm

Will the round A offers be via post or will they be available online?

Ross1986 · 02-07-2014 4:14pm

By email I'd imagine. Best of luck.

the offers come via both post and email, if you gave them your mobile number when you set it up then they will text you too.

Owryan · 03-07-2014 7:55am

So who checked their email this morning ? nothing :-(

sunbabe08 · 03-07-2014 7:56am

Nada

oinkely · 03-07-2014 7:59am

The offers are issued this afternoon so don't worry yet.

Murphster · 03-07-2014 7:59am

Maybe its after 9am...or possibly not until the 4th...

sunbabe08 · 03-07-2014 8:06am

after 9am, if i have to wait all day, i may have an anxiety attack

paperclip2 · 03-07-2014 8:13am

Best of luck to you everyone. Hope it goes well for you and there's a blizzard of offers in the offing.

question. do we have to check the cao page or our actual email?

paperclip2 · 03-07-2014 8:21am

You accept or decline via your CAO online account. Usually an email is sent to tell you to check it.

KevHos · 03-07-2014 8:21am

Haven't a clue? They've been pretty bad at explaining things this year, how do we even accept the offers?

Ross1986 · 03-07-2014 8:24am

I googled it after seeing the link that Spurious posted and it says that the offers come out tomorrow @ 6am so I wouldnt hold out much hope for today.

That's pretty annoying that all the colleges would say the 3rd but CAO say the 4th, considering it's such an important day for anyone who received an offer, you think they'd have made sure the day was right

tyrion1234 · 03-07-2014 8:42am

So should we all assume that we wont hear anything until tomorrow?

borrch · 03-07-2014 10:00am

We should hear something today, we just dont know what time. On their website it said "after 6am", so that could probably be anytime up to 5pm.

the offers aren't out until tomorrow https://www.cao.ie/help_files/round_dates.php

all the offers should be out at the same time at/soon after 6 am, they always say from 6am even for round 1 and 2, they usually don't have people waiting all day, its to cover themselves incase the is an issue and they've to delay the offers for an hour or two

borrch · 03-07-2014 10:16am

Thanks, for some reason I had the 3rd in my head :-)

well considering that is what ucc said on their email to me i thought so as well

borrch · 03-07-2014 10:25am

I'm 99% sure the CAO had the 3rd July on their website few weeks go. They must have changed it ...

MyNameIsMethos · 03-07-2014 11:15am

Woke up to find a letter from the CAO today!!! ...to inform me that they have registered my course changes from a few days back..

Haha I got one of them on Monday, nothing like getting the hopes up only to find out it's not what you thought it was.

sunbabe08 · 03-07-2014 11:21am

Got one as well, i was on the bus to waterford and broke out in cold sweats when my dad called me to let me know.

MyNameIsMethos · 03-07-2014 11:57am

Oh I got one just before the deadline too, from reading other threads I knew already that there was one more days wait so I knew it couldn't be what I was hoping for but it's impossible not to hold out hope!

In related news: I hear that the letters were/will be posted today so that they arrive tomorrow. Who's up for a daring raid on the Carrick-on-Shannon post office? I'll bring the balaclavas: we'll make a day of it!

as much as i would love to go on an adventure, i think i can wait until 6 am

Vayda · 03-07-2014 12:15pm

Just one more day to wait! Good luck to everyone waiting to get offers

smileyj1987 · 03-07-2014 12:16pm

The wait is killing me . I know I have my top choice course gotten . DKIT sent me out a letter to say I was going to be offered a place . I just want tomorrow to come as quick as possible .

i'm in the same boat, i've been offered my two places at ucc, i just hope i get my first choice

From what I know you should be offered the place you chose as top preference . I can't see the college saying you will be offered a place for it not to happen .

hope so, otherwise this will turn into one very crap week. my garth brooks concert got cancelled

KevHos · 03-07-2014 12:26pm

I keep thinking it's this massive race to accept your offer before anyone else lol, so who's doing what? I'm going to UCC for criminology.

smileyj1987 · 03-07-2014 12:27pm

sunbabe08 wrote: »

Well the letter I got stated I would be offered a place in DKIT unless a higher offer came . It's my top choice so I'm expecting to accept the course tomorrow .

Drezden · 03-07-2014 12:31pm

I'm doing Computer Applications in DCU, literally knocking the days on my calendar, can't wait. It's been the longest summer ever because of the waiting.....it's tough to take the mind off it!

leaving cert is fun · 03-07-2014 7:15pm

Just came across this thread, i did the leaving cert last year and got 350 points but didnt make my course. i got the dare scheme this year and i definitely should get one of my top 2 choices. will i get a round a offer if i did leaving cert last year ?

It all depends on the college but I think most of the round A offers are to tell mature students they have been offered a place first . But I could be wrong on that front . You are best off logging into CAO tomorrow and see if they offer you a place .

sunbabe08 · 04-07-2014 5:23am

woot!!!!!

got my first choice

that's a relief now i can go back to sleep

and they were giving me my 2nd choice for level 7 as well, :P

MyNameIsMethos · 04-07-2014 5:47am

Congrats Sunbabe, tough thing to go back to sleep mind! Time to party like the students we're all gonna be!!

My first choice is still on a waiting list, but I've got my 2nd choice level 8 which will do just as well and my top level 7. Happy to have the time to wait out my reply now though: must finish sorting funding before I commit to the level 8

Today is a good day
