I'm 99% sure the CAO had the 3rd July on their website few weeks go. They must have changed it ...

Haha I got one of them on Monday, nothing like getting the hopes up only to find out it's not what you thought it was.

Got one as well, i was on the bus to waterford and broke out in cold sweats when my dad called me to let me know.

Oh I got one just before the deadline too, from reading other threads I knew already that there was one more days wait so I knew it couldn't be what I was hoping for but it's impossible not to hold out hope!

In related news: I hear that the letters were/will be posted today so that they arrive tomorrow. Who's up for a daring raid on the Carrick-on-Shannon post office? I'll bring the balaclavas: we'll make a day of it!

The wait is killing me . I know I have my top choice course gotten . DKIT sent me out a letter to say I was going to be offered a place . I just want tomorrow to come as quick as possible .

From what I know you should be offered the place you chose as top preference . I can't see the college saying you will be offered a place for it not to happen .

hope so, otherwise this will turn into one very crap week. my garth brooks concert got cancelled

I keep thinking it's this massive race to accept your offer before anyone else lol, so who's doing what? I'm going to UCC for criminology.

Well the letter I got stated I would be offered a place in DKIT unless a higher offer came . It's my top choice so I'm expecting to accept the course tomorrow .

I'm doing Computer Applications in DCU, literally knocking the days on my calendar, can't wait. It's been the longest summer ever because of the waiting.....it's tough to take the mind off it!

leaving cert is fun

Just came across this thread, i did the leaving cert last year and got 350 points but didnt make my course. i got the dare scheme this year and i definitely should get one of my top 2 choices. will i get a round a offer if i did leaving cert last year ?

It all depends on the college but I think most of the round A offers are to tell mature students they have been offered a place first . But I could be wrong on that front . You are best off logging into CAO tomorrow and see if they offer you a place .

sunbabe08

woot!!!!! got my first choice that's a relief now i can go back to sleep


and they were giving me my 2nd choice for level 7 as well, :P

MyNameIsMethos

Congrats Sunbabe, tough thing to go back to sleep mind! Time to party like the students we're all gonna be!!

My first choice is still on a waiting list, but I've got my 2nd choice level 8 which will do just as well and my top level 7. Happy to have the time to wait out my reply now though: must finish sorting funding before I commit to the level 8

Today is a good day

Had a minor panic when I didn't see an email from CAO in my inbox. Checked website...my offer was there. Phew!

Murphster

Woohoo! Offered both of my top course choicesfor level 7 & 8! Happy days! Accommodation hunt starts now!

sunbabe08

lets party folks, we're students living the student life

Bookworm85

Had a major panic when there was nothing in my email. Checked the website and voila...I got my first choice :D

Congrats everyone!!!!

Ross1986

Didnt get an email either so logged on and checked, and the offer was there, accepted it straight away!

Congratulations everyone, who's doing what and where?

I'm doing P.E with teacher education in UL.

becktron

Got my offer, accepted the minute the email came in today. Not my first choice but looks interesting all the same.

Visual & Critical Studies! Yeaaah!

Good luck and congrats to everyone!!

bloodstormaoa

Congratulations everyone! Well done Ross1986!

Got my second choice at UL (Arts-Joint Honours), which I'm happy about but it'll make life a little more difficult for me down the road. Here's hoping that someone doesn't accept their offer and I'll get my first choice in another round!

sunbabe08

Arts degree in UCC. now to make sure I get the subjects that I want. my fingers are crossed so much these days, I'm afraid they will be permanently like that

merkal

just got offered social science in UCC. So happy to press that ACCEPT button!

Hey, quick question. If my girlfriend accepts a course now with the CAO, can she change her mind later when the rest of the results come out?
