    I have got an offer from DIT, I found out early on this year, thing is I am on the waiting list for NCAD. My CAO order of preference are
    1, NCAD
    2, DIT
    3, DIT
    4, CIT etc

    What happens if I hold out of NCAD ? Should I take the DIT placement, in the hope of getting an offer from NCAD ? If I do take the DIT placement does that mean NCAD wont offer me a place ? Confussed I am :confused::confused:

    If you dont get an offer from NCAD in the first round you could still accept a lower down course (ie DIT) and then get offered a place at NCAD in a later round.This wont be affected by you accepting the DIT as if you get an offer from NCAD later and accept it cancels out your acceptance to DIT.

    That is why it is so important to put choices inorder of preference as you can still be offered choices from higher up your list but not ones from further down.

    Is it only certain course and universitys that make offers this morning?

    Is it only nursing offers for mature applications today?

    In early July a small number of offers of places may be issued to applicants such as:
    • those who need to make visa or other arrangements before taking a place;
    • deferred applicants;
    • mature nursing/midwifery code applicants.

    CAO only make you one offer at a time. If you had of gotten your 3rd choice & accepted it then at a later stage you could be offered your 2nd or 1st choice. Since you were offered your first choice CAO will not offer you any other course. It is very important what order you put your choices in.

    Congratulations!!!!

    I got my first choice too!!! I'm over the moon!!!!

    I know exactly how you feel!
    I had applied for two courses, but one of them got cancelled/removed during the summer, without me realising!

    Now to figure out "what to do next" ......

    Some great info on this forum, some time spent reading might be a good idea. :)
