      he's my favourite, reminds me of Samwise Gamgee :')

      Gamgee was far more useful. That little **** Frodo wouldnt have made it out of the Shire without Sam.

      I'd put down two lvl 7s just for a safe cause. You may never get the points but at least you'll have something to fall back on

      That is dangerous. No sugar coating that. That is almost insanity.

      Tbf if I dont get either of my 1st two I dunno what I do.. Although My 2nd is considerably higher points than my first. Should be grand though once I passed maths!
      Even though failing maths isnt an option anymore coz my mam has already thrown out my uniform and schoolbooks etc.

      Lol, please life be good to me <3

      Anything outside my top 2 is just there for the sake of keeping the parents quiet: #1 is 535 points and #2 is 370, I've given myself quite the range.

      I can't even find 10 level 8 courses that I would actually do as I don't have an interest in science/business/engineering (which make up the bulk of the courses in every college) :o

      I only have medicine down because that's all I want to do. I'll probably be repeating though anyway.

      Well if I were you, I'd find a course that is similar to it in first year like for mine, I want to do Aeronautical Engineering in UL but if I don't get the points and I go for lvl 7, I have mechanical engineering in DKIT where I can do first year and then transfer into second in UL as the course is practically the same, same modules, just different examples and equipment.

      If you really don't want to do lvl 7's, find a course that has a lower points range at a different college and then you can transfer into second year provided you've done really good in your exams and modules.

      Best of luck!

      And yet I'd repeat to get my top.

      I know I am terrified, but I know iIwouldnt be happy doing any of the level sevens , I honestly think I would repeat first. But you have scared me enough to put down one of two!

      Its always better to have a fall back and choose to repeat that to be forced to.

      Forgot my password for the CAO log-in, sent "Forgot password" memo to e-mail address, forgot my e-mail password as well, sent "Forgot password" of my primary email to my secondary email, and just as I was about to try to log in to my secondary email my laptop died. Is this God telling me that filling in my CAO is a waste of time? :(

      No he's telling you to record your passwords.

      Why? I have four down and no intention of taking any of them but it means that on August 19th I have two offers that I can accept or refuse. It dosent cost to have one or two down.
