Can anyone tell me how many offers i am meant to see here?
ATM i only see my no.1 from my level 6/7...which has to be wrong, i could have at least got my no.5 on my level 8!

GrumPy

Well I got onto the site, only had one offer from a level7.

Guess I'll go for the PLC, and get into my chosen level8 that way!

EdgarAllenPoo

Is it a good or bad sign that even a lot of the private college courses have very few vacant places?

Rockerette

I'd say you can relax with a 45 point margin!

Congratulations to everyone! I got my first choice, thank god. The points stayed the same as last year and I got the exact amount!

10 points off construction mgt. & eng. in UL, i could have done with a distinction in LCVP. Was offered international insurance & european studies in UL and automobile technology in CIT, waiting for round 2 though.

[A]nd given that TCD is protestant it ostensibly has a propensity to allow more A-level applicants

That's a ridiculoulsly inaccurate and libellous statement. In the first instance, TCD is not a Protestant institution and I ask you to show with any evidence than it is other than "Well, you know...".

In the second instance, if you knew anything at all about this, you'd know Trinity was criticised by British schools for warping their A-Level grading in favour of Irish students. If anything, you cannot get 600 points from A-Levels in TCD.

In the third instance, TCD has a higher international student rate per capita in general; not just British students. This is an endogenous variable - international students want to study there and TCD appreciates the value in having foreign students.

Im not like most people who apply for coarses on cao for the sake of it. There is only 1 thing on cao that I am interested in. Whats the point in going to collage if your not going to enjoy or be interested the work afterwards?

ThrownAway

I got 85 points more than my course points requirement

My offers came in the post at the exact same moment I got through to the CAO site ...creepy

Well it's off to UCC I go

yes but there is almost always another way into a course by first completing a different college course, but of course you could repeat

exiot

Finally got into the CAO website there an hour ago, nicely done. Got my offer for Comp Science in UCC, Im thrilled

even though I had 50 points in excess..

Feck, these lower points.. I wanted CSSE.. bah!

Im not too sure on this but you can transfer from Arts to CSSE seeing that they are both in the same college!!
