It was 431 last year, but it will probably go up as when I checked the current statistics the number of applicants in this field has increased by over 2,000. I'm pretty sure I've gotten somewhere around 421-470 in the LC. It's quite a big margin, so I'm not 100% sure if I'll get the points I need. My next choices include similar courses in DCU, Trinity and Galway. The points are higher for DCU and Trinity, so I just put them down just in case they somehow dropped. In Galway it's lower (around 401). I'm fairly certain I'll get the points for Galway, but I never really wanted to go there as it was just a backup I put down before the Change of Mind deadline. My original backup is to take a year out and work to earn money to go to the University of Vienna next year. When the offers come out, what approach should I take? If I don't get the points for UCC at Round One, how long should I wait and see if the points drop or should I accept the offer that I'm certain I'll get from Galway straight away (in case I am too late and lose the offer for that one as well). Thanks!
