    Afraid not you will be offered your 5th choice if you have the points for it and then something else off your level 6/7 list.

    If you do get offered Physics with Astronomy (presumably it's also in NUIG), you may be able to transfer into Undenominated Science, if not at the start of the year, then mostly likely by the end of first year. Everyone does most of the same subjects in first year (there are a few astronomy specific modules) if you're looking to go down the physics/maths/applied maths/computer science route. Talk with the course head when you start about transferring, the college is usually accommodating.

    yeah was so worrid I would have to take a gap year, I did all three sciences for leaving cert but still dont know what I would like to do with science so I felt that undenominated science would be a better option! :)

    Very wise. A year of doing science in college should give you an Idea of which area you want to focus on
