I just went over and asked in the shop. I'm in the library in Trinity at the mo. Thinking about waiting up and getting the supplement. Not waiting on an offer myself, but have a few impatient friends down the country.

If I do get it, I can probably scan it in college.

Please? Please? etc.../please?

Well the points for medicine and vet have been leaked. Some UCC courses such as arts and business are also out, the papers have been printed and people have seen the points. This happens every year. A lot of people at third level have known the points since last thursday.

Mid point is the average number of points applicants had and final is the minimum required.
It's the final you need.

Final points are whatever it dropped to in Round 2 / subsequent.

Mid-point is just that ... the average, more or less. Irrelevant for getting in, just for information.

Stress of this.

Didnt put down Law because I honestly didn't think I would have a chance. My points came and I was so shocked - quite confident If I had it down as number one I would have been offered it I know in Trinity you can apply for a change of course by October sometime providing there is places/you got the points...

Good luck !

Also is random selection when loads of people get the same amount of points and there are limited places so they randomly choose the people ?

Yeah, but it's completely based on if there are any places available and if you had the points. I can't say if it would be likely or not to have vacant spaces/dropouts for Law.

ORDER OF PREFERENCE!!!
