    Basic and most important rule of CAO:

    Rank your courses in the order in which you actually want to get them!!!

    Not in the order of which you think might have highest points ...

    Not in the order that your parents think is best (though obviously where you want to go to college etc. is something which you need to discuss thoroughly with them, especially as there are financial implications) ...

    Not in the order that your friend down the road has on his / hers ...


    What is the course YOU want to be offered next September? ... that goes down first.

    If you don't get that one, what would your second choice be? ... that goes down next.

    If you get that much straight in your head, you've made a good start on everything to do with the CAO.

    I was at it. I thought it was alright, but as someone already said I'm more confused than ever!

    I went to the UCAS talk, that was it. The rest of the time was spent going around the different stands. I got loads of free stationary though so that's always good! :)

    Did you guys already know what you wanted to do? Or you just got even more confused of what you might want to do?

    I knew what I wanted to do...Music. But then today I was completely confused over where to do it! And whether I should apply through UCAS as well. Or whether I should do another subject with music. It's so hard to decide and before today, I knew fairly well what I was aiming for, now I don't know.:confused:

    I want to do a course with very high points that is only in one college in Ireland. I just realised it's the only thing I want to do and have very littel interest in anything else...

    Really? I'm really disappointed with it tbh, I think it starts off well and then come track 4 it all starts to sound the same to me. Perhaps it'll be a grower though...I thought the same of Brandon Flower's solo album back in the day (roughly this time two years ago, eeeek, time be crazy) but that ended up being a huge grower.

    @Gunslinger92: Nah it's been the same since 2003 afaik!

    Well after a couple of listens I really like it, some really great songs. It is a bit of a grower imo.

    On the other hand, I'm disappointed that they seem to be going down a more pop route. I loved there rock style. This is no Hot Fuzz, but imo that's one of the best albums of the last decade.

    Battleborn still a very good album though, I love Flesh and Bone, Miss Atomic Bomb, and Battleborn in particular.

    Not really sure why but HO was a bit of a let down. Like it was exactly what I expected but maybe it was just, too cramped or something?
    Saying that tho it was enjoyable and im happy I went..

    I'm going tomorrow. Don't know if I'll benefit that much from it as we only have about 2 and a half hours there to go to talks, visit stands and have lunch.
    Not a big fan of Mumford and Sons I must say!

    Nah...had a look at the website though, sounds kind of interesting. Points are pretty high.

    What course do you plan on doing? :pac:

    Saying what course you would like to do is hardly going to give away your identity?

    Honestly though, I actually figured out who Eurovisionmad was when he mentioned Radiography :P (well, his username raised suspicion too)

    Ah but that's cause my user name gives away a lot, and you know me in person. SleepAlone hardly gives it away!

    Was at Higher Options today. It was ok but my school decided to go for only 2 hours so we missed some talks which was really annoying. Now I just don't know which college to put first :/

    I know , but I'm a bit paranoid. Would hate for anything I say on the internet to get back to anyone I know :v Anyone else really disillusioned with the whole education thing after higher options?
