CAO Offers - the OFFICIAL waiting thread - LINK to Points list in FIRST POST *

[Deleted User]

Edit: POINTS LIST HERE!

So less than 12 hours until the offers are out.
Just out of curiosity, what is the lowest preference/choice you would be offered and accept without repeating?
Personally, I've thought of doing ny first choice (Pharmacy in TCD) for so long that I'm not sure of I'd be comfortable in anything lower.

*******************************************************************************************************

Ok, we may as well make this one the official thread.

WORD OF WARNING:

Anyone trolling and (seriously) claiming to have inside information / got the paper early etc. etc. without being able to back up their claims will be banned.

In fact, we've asked for sitebans in the past for serious cases of malicious scaremongering, and the Admins have been more than happy to implement them.

No-one needs that crap, thanks.

R.

There's probably no point in saying this, but speculating about points is pretty redundant at this stage. Watch a movie or chat with people on here, people are just going to get overly worked up if you start debating whether whatever Irish Times article said that X was going to go up or down.

Just a suggestion :P

So what's the story with the offers, Do they come in the post or do they show on our CAO profiles?

They do come in the post but if you get an offer in Round 1, you should be able to see and accept it online before the letter arrives.

This thread last year was something special.

Now that I'm not taking part in this silliness myself this year, I shall enjoy the entertainment.

Well I'll definitely be there, but if the points for maths come down you never know, you might just make maths! I think I'm going to do social policy actually. Languages were never my forte, and I just don't see much point in doing only a little bit of law; if a business ever needs legal advice they'll get in a lawyer/solicitor, not someone who has done a few modules on the topic. That's just my view though, mightn't be the case at all! And as for the Eastern European studies...meh, not really seeing myself travelling to Eastern Europe anytime soon. What about yourself? I take it you're aiming to go the economics route too?

I'll probably end up doing the Social Policy or Russian. I think me and you are pretty much the same applicant :P But yeah I'll be going Economics route. What are you hoping to do for a career?

is the only way to get another course not in your current cao is to reapply next year? i mean can you not update your course list for the 2nd round?

Yes, you do not get to update it again. Not all courses have second round offers either.

Someone else might give you better advice, but I think the best thing to do now is accept whatever you get offered, start the course and then if you don't like it you can transfer.

I don't think so but they may advertise vacant places if they don't fill the course with CAO applicants. If you were to apply that way, it would be like another kind of CAO form.

Otherwise, you can apply to a Further Education college completely separately to the CAO. I did FETAC and wouldn't really recommend it but you may be able to do a Higher National Diploma and then get straight into second or third year of a similar course at university.

Want excitment? The Blowies are on right now.

I'm fairly confident that I have my course but this is all kinda exciting so I'll probably be here for the night. :P

55 points over what is needed for applied languages in UL .. I'm hoping they don't go up like 60 points or something now. :P

you do know the course was artificially low last year and is predicted to return to the pre 2012 points requirements this year.
source: went to ul open day and the applied languages lecturer said so.

Hey guys! The best of luck tomorrow. I was in the same position as you all last year, and I would be with ye now if I had done TY. I was full sure I'd be up all night freaking out but by 2am I passed out :P then woken up by my alarm at 6am to a very frozen CAO site for like 10 minutes so I was going crazy then. That quickly followed by me running to my parents bawling crying saying I got my course! Seeing this thread brings back memories because I wrote on the one from last year

Again, best wishes everyone. Even if you don't get what you want, there's other ways in and you can always give the LC another go or wait for the other rounds of offers

Due to the amount of times I have applied to the CAO, I'm expecting to be greeted with a "**** off, Baldrick", when I log in, in the morn.

when excatly are the points for this year published on cao.ie? tomorrow along with the offers i guess :P

It's nice to see I'm not alone, even in a similar boat to Fad. My second choice will have to jump by 50 points for me not to get an offer but as others have said, I probably won't get much sleep either way.

Good luck folks

Lol, they're usually pretty ok down there actually. They get worn down sometimes though with the constant calls ... not all of which are sensible, to say the least! (Not saying yours weren't btw!)

It's actually a great facility for those going that direction; one of the few genuinely good ideas / investments of the boom.

(In all honesty, the one woman I kept getting onto in the office was quite possibly the least helpful person I have ever spoken to in my life. Freakin' hate Mary...)
