Plans for next year

JimmNeutron

hey just out of interest, wats everybodys plans for next year?
I was plannin on tryin for physio but think im jus gonna settle for general science in trinity or ucd after the last few days of exams.
Any opinions on the science course???? I heard a lot of ppl drop out in first year.

whassupp2

Civil Engineering if i get an honour in maths which is gonna b hard to getafter todays performance.

I have a place on a Sound Engineering course in Ballyfermot College of Further Education provided I get 3 OD3s and 2HC3s which I think is pretty likely. I got 320 in my mocks from not studying so I think I should be ok.

JimmNeutron

Sound engineering sounds like great craic alrite. Sumthin i wud hav love t tried but my love for science well overpowered it. I kno, i kno, i sound like a nerd, but physics is so interestin, honestly.

Raphael

Theoretical Physics in UCD, providing I get my 435 points, and my B2's in maths and physics.

I'm putting down Nutritional Sciences.

It could be 390, could be 490.

At this stage I'll just be happy if I make it to at least 300 and then settle on Enviornmental Sciences which is my second option.

I was depending on Geography to get a C3 but now, after today, I'm guessing I got a D2. I need a C3 in either Business, Art or Biology too.

I need to pass German which scares me...ALLOT.

JimmNeutron

ye theres a lot of pressure on me t do well in german aswel!!

where are you doing that?
im hoping to go to uni and do one of business and legal,pharmacy or something in science but i still dont have a bloody clue what to put down as number 1.....

deisedolly

Hoping to go to DCU and do Communication Studies(tis media studies sorta thing) but I need 450 points which I'll be very very lucky if I get it.
I have a few other similar courses down that I'm interested in so all is not lost if i don't get that course!
If everything goes pear shaped it'll be an Arts degree in either UCC or UCD!

I'm heartened that, as of yet, nobody has mentioned either part of my course, and hope that this is a general trend. French and Italian, TCD.

I've got History and politics in Trinity down as my number one, but i think i already lost the points i need on Maths alone. Probably do BESS now.

smemon

probably takin a year out and chillin :cool:

get a full driving licence, set up a few websites, get into IT more, save a bit of cash... get my confidence up if i'm lucky win euromillions and retire (im serious)

colleges should be looking for me, not the other way about :cool: i'm not going to commit to a 4 year course for the sake of it. my decision will be carefully calculated with all risks and future prospects taken into account.

i think most of yee are foolish jumpin into these courses. guarantee you they havn't been researched properly. this is your life you're playing with, you can't hit 'play again' once you fail.

Don't give up on it yet. I missed Hist Pol by 5 points and Law by the same on first round offers last year. I'm in Bess and even when i got my second round offers i stuck with BESS. i though it would be terrible, and yeah some bits suck but i love othe parts. Also last yera there was a huge drop in points, of 30 to 545 so it may drop again.

Im hoping to get Computer Applications in DCU!!!!!:cool:
