CAO Countdown

Kurtosis

UCD science looks set to drop, what with TCD science having gone from 440 last year to 415* this year. This is according to the Irish Times' front page for tomorrow.

looks like ucd arts had fallen to 350 http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/pdf/a4_front_20060821.pdf
so that means i got 115 extra points:D

Kurtosis

Are all of ya who know you got enough points just getting the info off the Times' frontpage and the article on the frontpage, or is it from somewhere else?

Ah right...I'm not too concerned for myself, just wanna know if my friends are alright :rolleyes:

Aidonin

I LOST MY 8-DIGIT CAO CODE! :eek:
...oh well, i'm sure i can just ring-up or something...can't i?

Kurtosis

Or you can just check the paper tomorrow! And then to accept it, you can do it by post. No need at all to use this new-fangled internet thingy!

Aidonin

Well it's lookin' good guys, even people that thought their first option was completely out of the way might be pleasently surprised!!!
Happy days!!!
...AND it's only 4 days ti'll daft punk in marlay park! WAHEY!

Aidonin

Sorry for the double-post, but does it come in the mail tomorrow?

Kurtosis

As far as I know, it's posted tomorrow, so it won't actually arrive until Tuesday morning.

whassupp2

I cant get on to the CAO website but i saw the paper so i have a good idea.

EdgarAllenPoo

How likely is it that the points for a course would drop by 25 in the second round if they are already low?

Googe

Probably stoopid question... but its early

When you have accepted your course, in my case arts in ucd. When do you choose what subjects you wanna do in arts

Cheers

happydance

To get the full list you go to CAO, Click "points" at the side and then go to the drop down menu to choose points 2006 at

I think it's the week you start, I'm not sure but I think you get two weeks to see if you like the subjects.

Quite likely especially if its a level 6/7. It all depends on the amount of people who are offered it but don't accept.

Got my offer and accepted. Now onto to UCD accomodation figuring out.

UU

Good morning all!

I didn't get a wink of sleep last night. Anyway, I can't get onto the cao website. There must be a lot of people trying to connect to it, eh?
