    Points relate to the demand for courses and the amount of places available. Either a load more people applied for the course who had higher points than you, or else the college reduced the amount of people it will take in this year. Waiting for the second round offer to see if it drops is the only thing you can do I'm afraid, or if you think you should have got a higher grade in a paper to bring you up an extra 5 or 10 points it'd be worth viewing your scripts.

    Supply and demand, happens all over the place.

    dairy Business UCD, up by 40 points.

    Primary Teaching CoI college - down by 65 points . ..
