    Nobody knows, but I've heard tell that a lot of people have applied for Science in NUIG, so be prepared for it to jump.

    I'm 30 points off the course I want and the points have been the same for the past 4 years (460). I was approved for the hear scheme but could anyone tell me what are the chances I'll get my first choice come 6am?

    As far as I know, the HEAR can add up to 10%, which should bring you to about 15 above it. I could be wrong there though.

    Going for medicine in NUIG, have 732 and DARE so pretty sure I'm in but I can't let myself believe it till I see it! I still keep thinking some kind of disaster is going to happen or I messed up my cao or something! Kinda funny how some of us will be in the same course in college and won't have a clue who each of us are from here and if we have spoken. We should all wear nametags or something :P

    Really wanna stay up but have work at 6:30 :( Don't know if it's worth it, already hungover :rolleyes:

    I'm going for computer science in NUIG, it was 420 the last two years and I have 465. I'd say I'll be fine but it's hard not to be nervous, haha.

    Hopefully not that much. I have a friend who has 410. I think demand dropped slightly for science this year so I'd say you're safe.

    And that's why we say nobody has a clue what the points are going to be :pac:

    It's actually gone up 5-10 points every year since 2011 (according to the NUIG website) but either way you should be safe

    Thank you,

    You have until next Monday at 5:15 to accept the offer so you don't have to rush into it! You might get two offers - one from the level 8 list and one from the level 6/7.

    Qualifax is most definitely wrong it seems. You can view all points for all courses for the last 17 years on the cao site cao.ie/?page=points

    I wonder what the chances of the CAO website crashing at about 6am are? Something tells me it will considering thousands will be logging on at once. The thoughts of having to wait for an extra hour or something... ugh

    I stayed up all night, 3 years ago when my brother was getting his CAO results because he was in a place without internet. I went on at exactly 6am and the bloody thing had already crashed :rolleyes:

    I'd say the site is going to be down for a good while. I was using it at about half 3 or four o clock the day the deadline closed, it was cat. Tomorrow will be worse

    Out scouting to see if anyone has the paper, but it seems very early. My dad's taking me out but we'll see how it goes. Chances are it's far too early though

    Way too early I'd say. Early morning (2/3/4) is your best chance.

    That's what I was thinking. If I don't get it now, which I probably wont, hopefully I'll find a way to get it a bit later on.

    There's literally 3 dates a year where they're placed under any stress, if they can handle 5,000 requests at a time then they're fast enough for 99% of the time, it would be totally ridiculous to run servers to handle 30,000+ request's for the CAO.
