    No there is no way. If it's your first choice and you have the points you will be offered it and you won't get any more offers. I'm assuming it's your first choice. Best you can do if you really don't want to do the course is take a year out and reapply next year and maybe do a PLC course in the meantime to get an extra qualification.

    Seriously, why do people do this?

    Of course you should listen to your parents and consider their advice carefully, but there's no point in letting them make your CAO decisions for you ... it's your life, and you are the one who will be studying the course (or probably not studying it / failing, if you have no interest).

    It *may* be possible to transfer within the college if there are vacant places on another course, and you had the points for it anyway.

    You could also have a look at the Vacant Places list on the CAO website next week.

    Or you could re-apply through the CAO next year, or repeat your LC if you are set on a course for which you didn't get the points this year.
