    There's no pressure. Just get your application in, you can change all your choices after the LC.

    Im not really nervous about it! I know my first choice and I know other coursed I'd love to do so in that sense I don't have limited choices! My problem however is where each course, which one do I prefer more etc...so Im going to go through all the courses info from various colleges that havnt been touched and lie under my bed! I also have to see which dimploma courses to fill! My friend got none of his choices and filled in no diplomas whats so ever and has been telling me "if I learned one thing from the whole Leaving Cert it is never assume!! and fil in your goddam diploma choices!!"

    I'm going to do it online. It's a lot less hassle as it is basically idiot-proof and you can keep changing 'till the 1st of July I think it is.

    I know my first 3 choices as it's the same course in 3 different places! Also I know my 4th, which is a different course!

    The way to do it is: (As told by my guidance counselor)

    Put it in order of preference, not what you think you're going to get, but in order of what you really want to do. If you think about it, that's the most logical way! It's the way you are supposed to do it!

    I think I have my first 9 choices woo!! I think I'll put them down here for the laugh - tell me if it sounds a bit weird please!!

    1. Pharmacy - Trinity
    2. Pharmacy - R.C.S.I
    3. Law - U.C.D
    4. Law and politics " "
    5. Science - Trinity
    6. Science - U.C.D
    7. Pharmacolgy U.C.D
    8. Chemical and Pharmacutical Science - D.C.U
    9. Social Science - U.C.D

    I know that Law and pharmacy are completely different but I like both! I mean I'm not just in love with Science subjects so im kinda of a "jack of all trades" Im alright in everything! Perhaps I'll put arts at 10 but I really don't want to do " ORTS" contrary to my name you must of thought my choices would read BESS B&L arts etc... but no I want out of the bubble :D:D
