    Only a few hours left till the cao closes, and while I'm pretty happy with my selection right now I did switch one course around a bit a few days ago after deciding UCD might not be for me after all. But now I'm worried in another few days I'll change my mind back again :o

    Anyone else nervous or getting cold feet about their choices?

    Just dont make any rash decisions! Just be careful when making those kind of impulse decisions if you are going to make them.:)

    Yup, made some tough choices in the last hour...

    Either way Im going to be thinking "****, did I make the right decision?" at 5:01.
    Im just that sort of person:rolleyes:

    Alcohol should have silenced this voice by 8:01, though :P

    Yep I am.

    I've added a few for lower points at the end of my cao.
    Just more science ones but I would much rather do one of my top choices obviously. In a really negative mood which isn't good for thinking rationally about college courses.

    I'm hoping for very high points and I only have 3 under 500 and close to it.

    I think I might walk around for a few mins because I can't think logically anymore but glad to see that I'm not the only one. More stressed about this than some of my exams.

    30 seconds to go and I can't shake the feeling my CAO magically mixes itself around the second I hit log out....

    Yesterday i threw down a product design course from maynooth cos i liked doing the product design questions in art but then i saw what would be involved in it today (engineering :confused:), so hopefully marine science will fare better

    talk about random

    Nervous, even though I've known what I want to do since first term of fifth year! But it's the order that I'm scared of. And not getting the points :eek:

    But really it will be fine! And just remember guys, don't start panicking that you didn't get an offer until the last round! Then you can freak out! Haha!

    Good luck everyone!

    That's the spirit! What do you wanna do? Is Galway close to home?

    I changed mine in a total rush today, and have arts in UCD first, the code is XX012, i put down XX102, then just as i went to log out i seen something in brackets, scrolled back up to my choices, graduate entry medicine. Good thing i noticed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 487 ✭✭muffinz


    Haha yeah its DN012, have that down as my 4th choice xD

    I have Arts down in Galway, I live in Kildare atm though so it will be a pretty big trip, but I have accomodation up there anyway if I get in there! I kind of hope I get the Trinners course, it looks like its perfect for what I want! But after the disaster of the LC anywhere will be grand for me tbh :P

    Trinity TSM? Ah you never know you might do better than you think. Galway is lovely too, I would've considered it but it's kinda too far away ha. I have European Studies in Trinity as numero uno and something similar (I can NEVER remember the name, it's disgraceful) in UCD as second. Hopefully the rest will be scratched off the list!

    MY first choice is earth sciences in trinity, but its very limited only a few places in it, somethin like 14!
    Haha for UCD i have geog and archaeology, but if i go there id have to travel, and would not be looking forward to that, at least in galway i have accomodation set up!
    I have limerick down too, i wish i could take that off now no idea why i put that on it :P

    Very good, very good. I know I find it kinda horrible the way the supply and demand determine the points, especially for Trinners as there are so few places!
    Ha totally opposite to me with your science-ness.
    Yeah I had UL down too but I took it off, though my maths teacher swore it was a brilliant uni. Anyway, good luck!! Might see you in Trinity (although we arts people don't mix with ye science folk :P)!
