    Should I be putting my LC-related arghs here? If so, my moaning will probably be my greatest input until this is done. :P

    EDIT: Mixed feelings about going back tomorrow. Although I got quite a bit done this holidays, it wasn't as much as I planned. I wanna move on and go back to school but I wish I had more time. :pac: How's everyone else about it?

    Put the new music course linked with DIT down on the cao as no.1. It's to make as serious a go at the music as I can. It's the dublin version of BIMM. There will be a good few famous musicians lecturing I've heard.

    I'm not sure if I should be asking here or over in the LC forum but...

    Does anyone know what the story would be for using past LC results for CAO applications this year? So long as you're not a mature applicant, would the application be treated like a current LC student's application, or is there some different process if you aren't sitting the LC this year?

    That's what I'm doing. Seeing as it'll be decided on points, it's the same as current LC applicants, you get the offers with them. You just need to put the year you did the leaving and your exam number.

    Yeah I wasn't sure if I'd done it right because my results weren't showing up on line, but I got the letter thing today confirming everything and my results were on it.

    I'd gotten the letter a few days ago, but it was a chat with one of my classmates today that got me thinking about how the offers work when there's multiple sets of results to work off.

    From what I can gather from the CAO handbook (it probably would've been smart of me to check there first :o ), I think FETAC applicants get the first places then everyone else. Hopefully the FETAC and LC results are assessed separately (or, if only one is used to determine if you get an offer, I hope it's my LC results :pac:)

    Noel; I saw a thread in the TCD forum about the Social Work course in TCD. Thought I would let you know about it, since you are looking at that course.

    Law? You'd make a good lawyer I'd say. Practice debating in front of people and practice speeches in front of the mirror.

    People have the perception that law is an easy way to get rich.

    Like medicine takes a lot of work to start off with, working under other lawyers.

    Some girl in my careers class asked the guidance woman about it..

    She was all like "..bla..bla..bla you can do it in most universities.. but you won't get a degree from it, it'll just have to coincide with your own degree.. bla.. bla.. bla.." :)

    I know it is possible in Trinity. It is definitely possible in UCD with the elective system.

    Yeah, you can pick German as an elective-y thing in 1st med in Trinners. It's a 5 credit module thing.

    I should clarify, A(UNDERSCORE)Neurotic had to write a poem about immunity for some module he was doing in medicine.

    Him and I wrote one in a pub one night, it didn't get handed in somehow...

    If anyone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it.

    If I fail any exams this semester and I want to change college next year will I have to pay more fees?

    Switching to a Level 8 course from a Level 7. Will I pay the normal fees if I pass my repeat exams in the case of failing?

    You can do a 2 year French or Irish diploma in NUIG alongside a degree, they do classes in the evening and then exams at the end of each semester. It'd be worth checking if they do a German one.
