    Mrs. Vandoorn, am I correct in saying that you do want to do TCD Maths / DCU Science Ed and you're just looking for back-ups?

    If that's the case, just stick down UCD Maths are your #3. I know you don't fancy UCD but you say you're aiming for 500 and if you get anywhere close to it you'll get your #1. The UCD course isn't all that different from the TCD one and it is just a back-up.

    You've probably had your guidance counsellor say things like this to you... but try imagine yourself in 10 years or whatever. Where do you see yourself, what do you see yourself doing? What sort of stuff do you enjoy/makes you happy? Then pick a course that'll let you get that.

    Failing that, do something you enjoy and are interested in.

    Ah yes..

    Gangster rapping. A fantastic career.

    What I would suggest is this, go out and find yourself a ho. Then pop a cap in her ass.

    I think you'll find the rest comes easy after that.

    NUIG - Science (Physics, Maths, App Maths and Chemistry in 1st year)

    Still not sure about going to NUIG, since regardless of where I go I'll have to move out.

    I considered that for maths. "But think of the people who would choose maths! Socially inept nerds the lot, surely!"
    Then I realised I chose maths. So they're at least as normal as I.
    no djing courses is there ??
    Yes, check Bray College of Further Education, I believe they do a DJ course.

    Haven't updated it yet but it'll be something like...

    Theoretical Physics (TCD)
    Maths (TCD)
    Computer Science, Linguistics and Irish (TCD)
    Visual Communications (DIT)
    Science (TCD)
    and.. yeah, I dunno. Things like that. CSLL seems to tend to be AQA so provided I got a B3 in Irish that'd be my lowest points one. Had architecture in DIT down as well but I didn't go to the interview so I don't rate my chances.

    Wha wha! I have a very similar set

    1: Theoretical physics (TCD)
    2: Maths and philosophy (TCD)
    3: Maths (TCD)
    4: Maths (UCC)
    5: Physics (UCC)
    6: Philosophy (TCD)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭raah!


    Right now it's

    Trinity - Maths & Philosophy
    Trinity - Maths & Economics
    Trinity - Maths
    UCD - Maths
    Maynooth - Maths

    I can't remember what the other five courses or my level 7s are but I'm pretty sure I'll get enough points for Maths in UCD. Still thinking of completely shaking up my CAO form though.

    It's also slightly similar to yours!!!!


    +1

    It's nothing to do with Commerce, and I looked on Qualifax and it says 20 spaces from the CAO.

    Is it Theology in Maynooth?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    No, I'll tell you on July 1st. If I did have that number one I wouldn't really be concerned about the points.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 773 ✭✭✭Cokehead Mother


    That's such a mad reason for not divulging your course choice. You've gotten me all curious now.

    I don't understand why telling people on boards would change what the points would be.

    1. Just because you're doing the course, doesn't mean loads of other users are going to suddenly think that that's the course for them.
    2. The amount of people who would be reading it is probably going to make no difference to the final points.
    3. I am now curious.
