What's on your CAO??

GA361 · 10-01-2009 1:35am

I've rearranged mine slightly in the past couple of months.

1.BCL-UCD
2.Business and Law-UCD
3.BCL-DCU
4.Civil Law-UCG
5.Law(and Arts)-NUIM
etc. . . .

I am still unsure of what to put down on mine. I am very interested in the health and I'd like to work in a hospital but unfortunately I am doing only 1 science subject so I can't put down "Human Health and Disease"... Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Radiation Therapy are all courses I would love to do but I'm unsure if I could achieve those points. But I suppose.. there's no harm in putting them down anyway..

Dropout rate elsewhere is higher *cough* UCD *cough*

I dunno if it actually is, but I'd imagine so.
Thus my post sounds about as informed as yours:pac:

You arrange your CAO in ORDER OF PREFERENCE. The more you want it, the higher up it goes. Don't think about the points.

Wow, the big three. You know PupleFistMixer means business!

PurpleFistMixer · 11-01-2009 6:45pm

I considered putting my whole post like that, but then the important words might have been lost.

Gloom · 11-01-2009 6:48pm

True, however it is probably a lost cause. No matter what,I believe there will still be mass confusion over the CAO form.

If you really want to do medicine why not put down all 5 courses considering the competition is so high (and its going to be worse this year).
My CAO
Medicine galway
Medicine ucd
Medicine RCSI
Medicine TCD
Medicine UCC (and i've never even been to Cork)
Pharmacy TCD
Pharmacy RCSI
Pharmacy UCC
Biomedical science UCD
Radiography UCD

Level 8 Course Choices:
1. GY501 Medicine - NUIG
2. TR051 Medicine - TCD
3. RC001 Medicine - RCSI
4. DN002 Medicine - UCD
5. CK701 Medicine - UCC
6. TR072 Pharmacy - TCD
7. TR056 Human Health and Disease - TCD
8. DN037 Biomedical, Health and Life Sciences - UCD
9. TR075 Medicinal Chemistry - TCD
10. GY301 Science - NUIG

This is subject to change, I'm thinking I might be interested in Psychology, and I sort of rushed the order, I'll probably put TCD above NUIG for Med.

marshmallow · 11-01-2009 7:39pm

Could someone confirm that if you still don't know what to put down by the 20th of January if you just write down anything before that date you can change it over the internet as much as possible free of charge?I still cant think of what to do.

Yeah, as far as weve been told, you can chop and change till 1st Feb. Then its 'locked' till May or June. Then you can make your last few changes and finally submit!

What have you against Galway Piste?:( It's a nice place!

PurpleFistMixer · 12-01-2009 1:14am

Actually, recent studies have shown that 100% of Galway is composed of pain, misery and suffering. The individual breakdown between these three elements remains a source of debate, however.

Well the HPAT results will be valid for 2 years so if you don't the get results you want this year you could repeat and apply again next year. You shouldn't be so negative. There's always a way!

Yes, once you've completed your application on-line you can chop and change as much as you like before 1st Feb. I changed my choices for the 4th time today.

What's on your CAO??
