    I will wait till 6am if I absolutely have to, it'd just be bloody handy to know a few hours in advance.

    Why do you need to know your offers as early as possible. Will you be heading to your desired college on mnday to do what?

    I've made arrangements to view accommodation. All the decent places will be snapped up as soon as the offers are out, most of them are gone already. I want my accommadation sorted as possible otherwise I might be stuck in some hole of a place that could be miles from college.

    Last year the newspapers had a couple of general articles about trends in points and stuff, if I recall correctly, but the proper list of points was published in a supplement and not online, as far as I know.

    The only logical thing to do is hijack a delivery van on its way to the shop.

    Correct ... though someone did get their hands on the supplement early, scan them and post them up.

    I'm not having a go at zam, who in fairness doesn't have any kind of history of trolling that I can recall, and may be completely genuine ... but I wouldn't trust *any* list that isn't either on the CAO website or a scan of the list in the papers.

    I will say this ... any user posting points as confirmed who is later shown to be talking through their ass can look forward to a permaban from this forum and, if I have my way, from this site.

    I really dont want to see a "*". Id rather lose out by 5 points than lose out to "Random Selection" mechanism.

    Remember that while that * might mean you lose out in Round 1, you're that bit closer to getting it in Round 2 ...

    So does round 2 give places based on those who defer?

    Two things;

    1. for people taking the piss out of the OP saying this is a poll/request, it is a petition, i suggest you take a closer look at both the poll options and your dictionaries.

    2. for people taking the piss out of the OP saying the info won't be in the paper, again, your wrong, there is a CAO supplement detailing first round points for courses, don't believe me then check the website.

    Lesson: don't preach from assumption.

    So yes, anyone who can put up points in the wee hours and prove they aren't taking the mick please do!
