That keeps my mind off it for the most part. It's going to get worse coming up to it as anticipation gets higher. People are already beggining to ask me questions like "Are the results out soon?" and "Are you nervous?" That's gonna get way worse over the next week and a half. Just remember that you're definitely not the only one agonising over the results. I'd say most L.C students are. I know I am anyway!

The only thing keeping me slightly sane is that the grade curve might work in our favour Hopefully I'll get the C3+ I desperately need. I'm going for Science in Trinity, so 480+ is what I'm hoping for

points requirements for medicine are expected to remain broadly unchanged.
In a new trend, students prefer to wait until after their Leaving Cert results before deciding on their college options.

These results were apparent since the CAO closing date in February, not much change now after the Change of Mind. The Indo clearly needs page-filler.

jumpguy wrote: » There really is no point worrying about it. College places may have increased to absorb extra demand, you don't know. Science places will be competitive this year and there will probably be a points rise for most science places this year. You may perform better than you expected in the LC... Thinking about it is just tormenting and fruitless...take it from me! :P

I was so happy when I found the course was there, had my heart set on it. But then after hearing the reports I'd heard, I was truly heartbroken. :'( I heard the journalism course in DCU is good. Know a couple of people hoping for it.

Don't mean to be negative, but no nurses are being taken on so they all end up emigrating without pumping one cent back into the economy. How is it paying to train them?? :-/ Anyways good luck everybody!!
