    550. So much better than I thought I'd do but peed off that I didn't end up applying for the courses that I wanted but didn't think I'd get into. Didn't wanna disappoint myself by misisng out on a first choice - so word of warning, dont fall into the hole of self deprecation when filling out a cao! Tis grand though, 4 HL A1s, one A2 and two OL B3s. Somehow my A2 came from German. Shocking really since I'm fluent and managed to do better in physics than my second language. Oh well.

    It's the best option. Why take a course you're not happy with?! :D All it is is 30 weeks.

    Is it silly to get an A2 rechecked? I got 550, which is just enough for my course but I got an A2 in Biology when I was sure I got close to 100%... it would literally just be for my own satisfaction though since it was the only exam I thought that I actually deserved an A1; I don't actually need it. I'm thinking I should just leave it?

    WTF kind of guidance counseling is that!?That is BS of the highest order! There are 10 places on that list and if you don't qualify for one, they'll offer the next one on the list that you do qualify for. Worst case scenario, you'd get offered the same course as you would now, only it'd be your 6th or 7th choice on paper. I'd complain to the school. That teacher should not be allowed "help" students anymore, or should have the CAO system explained to them.

    You could always take a year out and reapply next year if your points are high enough to warrant it.

    Go for it, at worst it MAY move down and youll be down 40 euro but does the satisfaction of an A1 trump that risk

    Going out at 6 Dan :D

    I was planning on repeating Hugsie but I've decided if my third choice doesn't go up points wise I'm gonna take it because its a general science course where I have a choice from 18 degrees in second year so I can get my neuroscience and microbiology that way! There's always backdoors! :)

    Ya I think ill ruin everyone elses night between crying and them not being able to talk about how they all got 500 points in case they upset me. Repeating too, that makes it sound way nicer. FOL's

    That's what im looking at Dan, ucc! Last place I thought id end up :pac:

    DRINK ALL THE SHOTS :D

    I was originally hoping for biological and biomedical sciences in NUIM but tbh maynooth is awful awkward to get to from Tipp anyway. Science in UCC, the more I think about it was probably my best option to begin with, if I get offered it I'm taking it and if not I'm repeating :)
