Yeah I just rang up - Got rejected Absolutely gutted...

I'd recommend anyone who gets the same message as me on CAO to ring the college, they'll tell you what the story is. As CAO keeps the message the same if you didn't get any offers (or if they have yet to come).

Congrats to everyone that got what they wanted

Sorry to hear this.You know this is only one year.You will have loads of others

i'm a tool. i almost immediately accepted my first offer ( Civil Law, which was my fifth choice ). Now I am regretting it, as I am thinking I would have preferred my seventh and eighth preferences, which i have sufficient leaving cert points for, but thats now irrelevant, as i understand it, they were negated as soon as i ( stoopidly ) accepted my first offer. dear god, i hope i get another offer in the next round!!!

Contact CAO, in your confirmation email it should say that if it was accepted in error to contact them immediately, worth giving them a shout and seeing what the story is.

Accepted my place in my first choice course, Economics in UCD! Couldn't be happier.

I'm not to worried about having the capabilities of comprehending the course, it's trying to sort out a grant that is the real problem!!

Well done to everyone and I echo the above post, I think we all owe a lot of gratitude to Lorraine for this forum and for all the information she provides, really appreciate it.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting, and for those who did not succeed on this occassion, I know it sucks, but there's always next year!

I thought if your offered your fifth choice that you won't get offered anything lower than that even if you don't accept it? I could be wrong tho!

What about thanks for me??? :pac:

Well done everyone. Absolutely great to see such happy posts!! I know the feeling. Walking on air.

Also, if you didn't get your choice, chin up. There is always next year. (I've been there too!!)

I didnt know results were out today, got my first choice, moooooo ha ha ha!!!:D

Princess HLS

I got my place in Social Science (DN550) in UCD as a mature student - happy days.

unseenfootage

Yeah! Accepted my 1st choice offer in Energy engineering at NUIG, so it's happy days!

Lats year I applied for the same course at NUIG and a similar one at GMIT. I was rejected at both places but I got an offer for Computing in something something at GMIT.

I decided that I definitely wanted the Energy Systems Engineering course at NUIG and they invited me to do the Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering. I applied, got accepted and completed the course in May. That practically guaranteed me a place. I would advise anybody to weigh their options carefully before accepting an offer which they may not be satisfied with. A foundation certificate gives you a much better chance of getting your dream course so consider this as an option.

Good luck to all those who succeeded and better luck next time to those who didn't.

Hi I didnt get an offers from the CAO i rang the admisssions in UCC and they told me I did not get a place so basically anybody got some advice do I just apply again for next year and hope for the best is there any courses or advice on how I could improve my chances for next year i am mature student I only got 86 overall score in MSAP so I think if I study more for that exam what is the adverage score for MSAP is 86 really bad !!!!! thanks for any tips sorry for long post:(:(

hdowney

curious. what is the MSAP?

you could look into perhaps taking a 1 yr access course with your chosen college, or in a local vec (check first if your chosen college and course will accept access for help in getting in) also colleges offer say a module from the course part-time/evening then if you take that it could help with your application next year

sorry to hear you didn't get in

How do you go about applying for such a course ?I have never heard about them before, but it definitely sounds preferable to choosing the wrong course, which I am Almost resigned to doing. ( I really want my first preference BADLY )

Where are you based? A lot of the third level institutes now have foundation/access courses attached to them.

I did the Science & Engineering course in UCD. http://www.ucd.ie/adulted/prospectivestudents/accesscourses/accesstoscienceandengineering/ There is also one for Arts. http://www.ucd.ie/adulted/prospectivestudents/accesscourses/accesstoartsandhumansciences/

Here is the one based at GMIT: http://www.gmit.ie/access-office/access-programmes.html

You should contact the uni/college where the course is an enquire about access courses.

Actually, I'm going to research this and start a thread on this information.

What course did you go for .Thats way above average.I got 134 ,which surprised me but 134 isnt much higher than 86.Theres something wrong there .Id ask again.Unless there are limited places.
MSAP is the mature student exam to get into college ! I think theres a different exam for each kind of course.
