English: B2
Irish (O): B1
Maths (O): C2
French (O): B3
Geography: C2
Biology: C2
Ag Science: D3
A total of 335... I went down from 360 in my mocks. Which makes NO sense as I studied hard for these exams and did literally nothing for my mocks. Absolutely gutted. I needed 380+ for my course

I think I did far better than marked on French HL and want to get it rechecked. So would it be wise to accept the course in UCD if given it, then wait until the results of the appeal come out? Is it possible to change to course(As well as colleges) if you make the points by recheck?
Im so stressed out here! all I need is 5 more points, whereas I feel I should go up at least 20 points in french (I want to study french so I'm fairly certain I did everything I could for this exam and put in real effort!)
Accept the course you're offered and if you are brought up and meet the minimum entry for a course that is higher on your CAO than the one you accepted then you can switch.
If you don't accept the course you're offered and you aren't brought up you won't have any course then. So do accept it.Well if I went down that route it might actually take a small bit longer because the postgrad/hibernia have quite awkward intake dates, one in october and one in february, so you see it could easily run into an extra academic year. Also I would always ask myself "What if I had repeated?". But I'm considering both options!
It wouldn't take longer though! Repeating the Leaving is an extra academic year too! And what if you didn't get the points again? No offence intended but I know people that's happened to.
Let's say you repeat LC and get the points. You'll have the repeat year plus three years in college PLUS the probation year. If you don't get a full term year teaching (conditions of probation) within five years after graduating you have to go back to college. Jobs are thin on the ground at the moment and subbing for part of a year doesn't count so this is possible. Also newbies just out of college tend to just get subbing as they are not fully qualified without the probation year done. That's four years PLUS a probation year PLUS a possible later return to college. That's four academic years (same as if you do Arts and the PDE) and a probation year, so five years to qualify MINIMUM.
That's assuming you got the points. It could end up where you don't and have to do Arts and the PDE anyway and that's five academic years. So five years to qualify.
If you don't repeat and do Arts (guaranteed entry with your points) you'll have three years in college plus one year for the diploma. No probation. Four years. END OF.
Plus Arts will give you far more job options and you'll get to study two subjects you like. Primary Teaching in college is horrible (all 9-5 everyday).
DO IT!!!

Wrong. If you are pulled up on your grades and meet the minimum entry for the course that was on your CAO (provided it's not random selection or second round) then you are entitled to a place. No ifs no buts.
It may well be October by the time you get the results but believe me there'll be students on that course who have skipped lectures and missed almost as much as you. Catching up isn't impossible.
I went back to college in December of one year before. Was grand.
Repeat the Leaving!? MADNESS!!!! Accept the place on the course you are offered or do a PLC course or something. Honestly, there is always another way to get into a course.
I was obviously misinformed. We were told when doing my leaving cert that if the course filled up and no one dropped out by then, then there would be no way of getting the course until next year. If it was full then it was full. Nothing that could be done.
Sorry about that 0 -

Absolutely devastated..I might post the results later because at the moment I cannot even look at the sheet
Well done to all ye lads who got what ye wanted!
Try not to be too upset, David. I know that's easy to say.
It kind of makes it worse with friends whooping with delight and planning for brilliant futures.
None of us knows if we have a future, never mind a brilliant one.
When you feel able to look at the sheet, consider your options, discuss it with your career guidance teacher or School Principal, whether to go for re-checks or repeats, or a PLC or a different slower route towards your goal.
Hang on in there..0 -

That's what I was always told as well. As the other poster said you are entitled to a place if you get the points via rechecks, but if the college hasn't got a place for you because the course is full then I think they can make you wait until the next year, and you get offered it in Round 0 as you qualified the previous year, kinda like deferred applications.0 -
