PLC offers

    I'm just after applying for about four PLC courses in a number of colleges as I'm freaking out over the possibility of not getting a CAO offers (as most people are, I guess).

    As much as I want a CAO offer, half of what I put down was there for back-up (e.g. if I didn't get choice 1/2/3) and if I do get an offer, I won't end up accepting it if worst comes to worst.

    But on the off-chance I get both a CAO offer and a PLC offer, am I obliged to take a PLC offer or can I just leave it? Probably a dumb question but better safe than sorry!

    You're not obliged to take anything.
    If you get a CAO offer and a PLC offer - take whichever one you want.

    If you don't feel like going to college this year, you can accept the PLC and try to defer the CAO course for a year. It would be vital that your PLC would be along the same lines as your deferred CAO course though as it would give you an insight to what you would be studying the following year after the PLC.

    And, if you think that course isn't for you after doing the PLC for a year, you don't have to take up the deferred place.

    Just another alternative for you, a win-win situation in many respects.

    If you took up a PLC place, you could use your PLC results to apply to the CAO next year. I have often tutored students who got better results from their PLC course than the Leaving Cert.
