At least some of that would have been the bonus points for Hons Maths, so a once-off on that front at least.

I know, but it was a 65 point jump right after a 30 point jump. I was worried.

Computer Science/& Business (TR033/TR082). I'd much prefer Computer Sci. & Business from the career aspect - all of the main Computer Science elements are studied within the course, same with the Business section. I'm tempted to go all-out and just put these two, maybe CS/CSSE in UCD/NUIM and call it a day on the CAO - confident that it won't go the opposite direction this time 'round.

Why would you leave 8 empty spaces just coz?

Fill it in in the order you want it ... if those are your top two and you get one of them, it won't matter what you had further down.

If something goes wrong, and you don't, it will matter a lot whether you filled them or not, and what with.

Lord, that's a major jump all right, and the Hons maths thing wouldn't account for even half of it!

I like the challenge, no other alternative option - sort of thing. Considering I'm repeating my Leaving Cert and in a private college, there will be no compromise. If I don't get what I've worked for all year (considering that the year hasn't even begun for myself yet - confidence is what I have); then it's not worth continuing. Unless some unforeseen event crosses my path then I would think otherwise.

It's just something I've been set on for a while and to let it go again is unimaginable - failure is not an option!

Also, I will have a good idea by the time of the Leaving Cert (and after since CAO's open till the 1st of July), on how I performed. No harm setting high goals for oneself.

Sure.

Have my heart set on General Science in UCD, and Science in TCD as my second choice

Had a change of mind today - Medicine instead of CS; something I've been interested in ever since I was a kid. Point difference isn't that big since I've gotten 400+ points in 5th year Christmas and Summer exams... Feeling excited to be honest.

Want to do Law/ Law with French Law in UCC, UCD or Trinity! So difficult choosing between the different colleges... Advice anyone?

I can't speak to prestige/quality of teaching, but all things being equal you should go to open days and just choose whichever you prefer the atmosphere of.

Can we get the thread title changed, randy?

Pedant!

I've narrowed my shortlist down to 12 level 8s

Have Arts down 3 times though but still unsure which to choose!

Unsure of what will be top too! Leaning towards either Law and Irish in Cork or Irish and German in Trinity!

Irish and German would probably be the one I'd go for but I still find law attractive!

Hoping for Law and French in UCC too!!
The major difference between UCC/UCD/TCD in regards to the Law/french courses is that UCC tends to focus on Law and French Language (i.e. you will study literature, film etc along with french legal writing and law system). Whereas UCD/TCD tend to presume high level of french and teach you french law through french. Obviously I'm biased but I don't know whether I'd be able to start learning the intricacies of French civil law through french from day one, even with a high standard of french. That's just my view of the courses anyway, maybe that's more what you're looking for
At the end of the day they're all great degrees, and I'd kill to get into any of them! Come offers day I won't be too picky :L

Physio all the way. Limerick would be heaven, also applying through UCAS for Aberdeen and Glasgow. Science in NUIG is my 2nd choice anyway.

I am hoping to do arts with creative writing or arts with performance studies in NUIG OR auditioning TSM Drama studies in Trinity...anyone in the same boat or have any advice?
