    Yeah in TCD you would need upwards of 500 for most arts degrees, whereas in UCD it's more like 350. Points don't usually bother me and this will probably sound a small bit obnoxious, but that is just too low! Even if it was over 400 I wouldn't think twice about it.

    Aw you don't , Which course do you prefer from TCD or UCD?

    Honestly I'd prefer TCD, but I can only do Maths and Irish in UCD. If I were to go to TCD I'd have to pick Maths and something else.

    I've got it, Arts. Maths and Irish are my two favourite subjects in school so why not just continue with what I love. Of course Maths alone would be monotonous and dreary but if I study a language alongside I won't get bored. UCD allows that combination I think, sorry Trinity, tough luck.
    Fellow UCD arts buddy! :P

    I would like small classes, not tiny, somewhere around 40 would be good, but 100 would just be way too crowded.

    I would do Maths and Irish as my first two, then I think you can do up to 5 in first year? Maybe English, Economics and French.

    It is a nice language tbh, I might do it as an additional subject in first year, then might go and study in France on the study abroad year!

    I was the same. But my arts course is languages more specifically so its 410 for me, which I can live with, its not too much lower than what I'm expecting and I'm loving the lack of pressure :o

    Slowly realizing more stupid mistakes I made in French, how did I think privés was private, its clearly a verb turned adjective ugh :( I'd never have made these mistakes normally, I'm disgusted with myself and I'll be so upset if I don't get the A1, it's my best subject by a mile and blehhhhhhh :(

    Yeah forty's pretty much ideal. I thought it was four, it is in most places, but I might be wrong!

    It's like 340 in NUIG! :P There's about 1,000 places though I think. Then it's about 440 in UL, so some people would think it must be a "better" course in UL, but the subject choice is crap in UL and it's brilliant in NUIG!

    I get the points thing, I bet if it was over 400 or 500 points to do Arts, I'd go for it, but because it's not, I'm always subconsciously thinking it can't be a really good course. Which is silly 'cause the points have pretty much nothing to do with how good it is!

    Edit: Oh god you can't go to UCD, Patchy will be there - the horror!! :P :pac:

    Sher you'll have it figured by the time it comes around :)

    I'll probably decide on the day of the results. Last year I really wanted to move. I'm not sure the course seems better over there they don't really have the course I like over here. It's extremely hard to find a IT business or BIS course. Only the level 7s then dcu , nci have the course. All of the courses have different modules. One of my friends told me I'd be better off that it's look good on the cv or whatever. And there's a year working rather than just 6/7 months in the level 8s. I only want my firm choice in England though not sure about the insurance I only picked it because it seemed like a good course. I didn't visit it either.

    Question for you repeater people, I finished the LC three days again now and I'm already dying for my results. Like I really, really just want to know what I got and cant wait 8 weeks :L

    DOES IT GET EASIER (hint: please say yes).

    Aw you should pick tcd if you prefer that course. Is there any other subject you'd study if you couldn't do irish?

    Nope it gets worse your whole summer will be spent wondering. It'll go so slow even on the day of the results to the minute you open the envelope.

    How do you know what it is specifically, I can't find points for any specific UCD joint honours degree courses. Just the general one.
    And yes, you will get an A1, so many people probably got that wrong they will change the marking scheme completely for those 5 whole marks.

    Oh yeah it's just 355 in general but my course is International Languages ;) Pretty sure I'm just a regular arts student but I'm guaranteed the year abroad. I could get arts and work for it but...nah. :P

    Everyone seems to have gotten that wrong yeah! Here's hoping because the aural wasnt too nice either. I'd never live down an A2, or worse...a B :pac:

    Hahaha, well for me last year I had the fortune of realising 30 days before the results, that it was 30 days 'til the results came out! So basically the first thing I thought of every morning from then on was the results. :pac: I don't remember any results dreams, but like, you never know. :P

    Ah it does get easier though, just take your mind off it as much as you can and you'll be grand! And don't start counting down the days. Ever. :eek: :P

    Everyone makes silly mistakes lol. I've made so many from English to Business. Like when I wrote anesthetic and European general meeting for EGM.
    It's the pressure :). It happens to everyone don't dwell on the mistakes :).
    Just think positive and see what happens :).

    That'd explain the lower points then. :) I still don't know. :( Trying to decide between Applied Languages and Product Design. The latter was number 1 all year, but now I'm leaning towards languages. :cool:

    (That's if I get in. Yesterday's discovery of the amount of applications has seriously dented my confidence about that)

    I keep feeling like I should have Arts somewhere on my CAO, not because I actually want to do it, but because it seems like everyone else has it down somewhere. Almost feels mandatory :pac:

    Everyone seems to have it down as at least a back-up, it feels like I should too! :P Even though my 3rd choice would interest me much more and is the same points as most arts courses in the country :pac: Might just stick it in as no. 10 before the change of mind for the craic.

    Oh no, rather than studying today, I've just been going back and forth in my mind about whether I should do Arts or not:(
    I honestly don't know whether I should put Arts or a more "prestigious" course down as 1st choice.
