People not accepting, deferring, or else people getting a higher preference, as far as I know.
But if people got a higher preference wouldn't they just have been offered that first day and thus out of the equation?
missed Law in UCD by 10, couldn't see many deferring or not accepting... It's not something people go to the UK to do so more than likely no second round 0 -
Nope, think about it. If someone gets Law in UCD but wants Science in Trinity, and someone in TCD Science defers, then that means they get their place and Law now has a vacancy, all the courses relate to some extent in that way. You never know! If you only missed it by 10 points you'd be sure to get law somewhere, and there's always rechecks too.SeanyboyQPR wrote: »But if people got a higher preference wouldn't they just have been offered that first day and thus out of the equation? missed Law in UCD by 10, couldn't see many deferring or not accepting...

Yeah I'm in in Maynooth, but had my heart set in Dublin
I'm definitely getting one or two rechecks as I don't understand how some of my grades came to be, but with UCD lectures starting the second of September, it'll be too late and I doubt they'd let me in by the time my rechecks were done, even if they brought me up points wise 0 -

A friend in my course went up in the rechecks and moved to Trinity, whose lectures do start later than those in UCD admittedly, but with law's low hours and the fact that you'd have been doing it in NUIM already they'd probably let you in. So fingers crossed for the rechecks then! 0 -

Wow, thanks for all your help! Even though it cuts a little not to get UCD, I'm really coming around to the idea of Maynooth. Still nice to have that little bit of hope though...0 -
No problem! Of course it would be nicer to get your first choice, but at least you got in somewhere.SeanyboyQPR wrote: »Wow, thanks for all your help!

All you can do now is wait, so enjoy the start of college anyway, only happens once.
