Dunno do I really want to write out my rsults here, coz compared to loads of yee I did quite meh.. But Im happy and its above the national average
Who cares about how many points you got once you get enough to get the course you want! I know it's nice to get alot but in the end, you only need to get enough for your course0 -

Irish - A2 (Years at the Gaeltacht finally paid off!)
English - A2 (Did NOT deserve it, the amount of work I did was appalling, but I got seriously lucky)
Maths - B3 PRAISE THE LORD AND HIS MIRACLES!
French - A2
Biology - A2 (Would have liked an A1, but the paper went horribly, so I'm grateful!)
Chemistry - C1
Music - A2
A total of 550 points, which I'm happy with, but, not enough for pharmacy anywhere, and the C in chemistry cuts out my UK options. I'm gonna see if I can't squeeze out another few points from Irish, music and maybe French and English. Until then, physiotherapy in RCSI or UL, here I come! :P0 -

Congratulations, that's fantastic! I'd say it'd stay nearly the same, maybe going up by 5 points. 580 for Trinners, maybe, but I think anybody on last year's points (565-575) should be alright come second round at least 0 -

That's what ya want! Wish I was that sure about me course.

I got my leaving cert results 6 years ago and didn't do particularly well. Never applied myself and ended up doing a course I didn't really want to do and so dropped out.
Went back to college and did yet another course which I also dropped out from.
Did a lot of soul searching and took a few years out to think about what direction I wanted to go in. I'm 25 now and for the past two years I've applied for college to study social care. Didn't get in last year but I ended up getting in this year and am absolutely thrilled to be going back into college.
What's the point of this post? Well, I guess it's just to say that doing terribly in your leaving cert is not the end of the world despite what some people may have you believe. There are other options like PLC courses available. It might take a bit longer to get to where you want to go but you can get there eventually.
I thought I wanted to be a sound engineer but hated the monotony of it. I thought I wanted to do something with computers but I hated the monotony of that too.
It's taken me this long to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and just because a piece of paper told me I couldn't do it right away doesn't mean that it was going to stop me.
Take tonight off, don't worry about it and assess your options another day. Go out with mates and relax.
Enjoy your night lads/lasses.
+1 this.
I was in a similar situation when did my LC in 2009. I was a 100+ points off from the course I wanted to do (Biotech DCU). Did a one year PLC course and here I am about to enter 3rd year in 6 weeks :eek:
I feeling when I saw this was unreal, I can't explain it. THERE'S A WAY AROUND EVERYTHING!

I couldn't be happier with my points, but I feel I got significantly more than I deserved. There are others out there who made a greater effort than I did and didn't get what they wanted. I promised myself I wouldn't tell anyone who I knew personally my exact points total, and given the subtle (sometimes blunt) gloating I've heard from some people today I think I made the right choice.
Fair play to you. I saw many people who were too embarressed to open their results at school around their friends because of all the people getting four or five hundred and rubbing their face in it
Anyone get their photo taken for a newspaper. I did except i dont know which paper :pac:0 -
In fairness, I don't think *most* people mean to rub anyone's nose in it, they're just all relieved / happy / hyper and forget to be sensitive. You will ofc get the odd gobshoite who likes to make others feel small and needs their result sheet stuffed where the sun don't shine, but in most schools they're not that common.11Charlie11 wrote: »... because of all the people getting four or five hundred and rubbing their face in it0 -

I completely agree with That_Guy and IronicToaster. Really happy that ye got your dream courses. Fair play to ye.
I got into social work in the backdoor too through an Arts degree. A college friend of fine was in the same situation as you @That_Guy. She didn't do well in the L.C, went over to the UK to wok but never settled so came back home. She did a PLC course in Childcare, really enjoyed it and was encouraged by her teacher to apply for social care degree where she got an B.A Honours and then got into Social Work M.A.
So the lesson is never give up, if you really want it and work hard it will happen. Best of luck 0 -

You too
Hah ehm I'll not say what points exactly (sorry
) but... enough to see me well safe
Trust me, it took me a while to decide for sure that I wanted Marino, it was always a bit of a toss up between it and Pats. I think what swung me was the fact that Marino's just a lot smaller (a major plus, I think ) and it's got a big emphasis on Irish as well Although most teacher training colleges do, to be fai 0
