    Hi just wondering if anyone has read/heard of the general trend for course points this year? Which courses i.e science or arts are expected to increase or decrease in points considering the amount of people who listed them as first choice preferences. I'm about 40 points over what I would've needed for my course last year but the course has been known to rise higher than this in previous years. It's an arts course so I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance really. Thanks again and best of luck to everyone come Monday!

    You could always get offered it a few weeks later if you're that tiny amount below. It happened to my friend a few years ago.

    Good luck :)

    I hear all over the place that Law is going to rise "significantly" ... im just worried that means over 10 points from last year !
    I got 520 but i am hoping to do law in UCD which was 510 last year !
    I suppose its just a waiting game !

    I'm in the exact same boat with engineering. Got 510, 15 more than it was in UCD last year but I have a feeling I will miss out by 5/10 points.
