What's on your CAO 2013?

Where do you get this information regarding the % applying for a certain field/subject?

No, the points for the course reflect the lowest points with which someone will get in *this* year ... which is why no-one can tell you what the points for this year will be in advance.

Ah thanks, now that makes sense.

The answer is in your CAO handbook!

I think that's lying around somewhere as a pseudo coffee mat

It's just a letter confirming your CAO choices and personal details. I doubt it's that important. But if you're really that stressed, shoot them an email and ask what the story is

Not very important, just check that your personal details are right, especially your exam number, if there is something wrong you can change it online or by post. If you've been changing your courses online up to now if you use the letter to change you can't use the internetto change it, so in sort don't do anything with the letter its just formally confirming your personal details and what your course were up until h change of.mind opened.

Apparently it's important as proof of your application incase they mess up and lose you in the system. I'd email them.

You are supposed to ring them if you haven't received it by a certain date.

Whoever thought that practically making us decide what we want to do for the rest of our lives was a good idea? Who?

I am having some serious doubts.....

I've got medicine in NUIG as numero uno. Why in God's name are we not told the result of the HPAT til after the LC?! If I knew now at least I'd know what to aim for/if I even stand a chance!

I think they left it so late this year cause last year they released it early and as a result loads of people knew that medicine wasn't a possibility having scored badly in the hpat.

Well this is my third year filling out the CAO, hopefully I'll actually be accepting a course this time :rolleyes:
2011, I got offered no courses because I failed OL maths (LOL I know). To make it even worse I went back to just repeat OL maths and ended up dropping to foundation last minute! So in 2012, I was offered some ****ty course that I didn't even want to do. I went and did a fetac Level 5 in Animal Care and think I did pretty good, so I'm hoping things will actually go well for me this time, and I'll finally be clicking 'Accept' on a course in 2013 :P Third times the charm!

Moral of the story, study your arses off these next few weeks kids and don't be like me! If I wasn't such an idiot and copped on a bit I'd be heading into my final year of my course :rolleyes:

Anyways,

Level 8:-
1.DN310 Veterinary Nursing

Level 7:-

1.AL731 Veterinary Nursing
2.DK784 Veterinary Nursing
3. LY847 Veterinary Nursing

If you're considering midwifery, I'd also consider general nursing. You've probably been told this a million and one times, but when you're training to be a midwife all you'll be looking at is bumps and babies, while you experience a lot more as a general nursing student. Plus then it's only 18 months extra study if you decide to do the midwifery, while it's 4 years if you decide to go from midwifery to general.

I was considering putting midwifery first on my cao last year, but was advised not to! But sure at the end of the day it's up to you! (I'm in general nursing btw!)

Thanks for the advice Siobhan

. believe it or not im so petrified of needles, that prob sounds ridic but there is less needles involved in midwifery compared to nursing isn't there? Where are you doing your course? And does the placement hours take away from the college social life or is that a rumour? Thanks
