First choice is Civil Engineering in UCD I think it was 490 last year, after that civil engineering in Trinity and after that maths in both.

I'm going for Psychology and English Literature in Trinity, it's a two-subject moderatorship but the Psychology brings it up to 560 points - eaagh!! My second choice is Psychology on its own, which is in the 550-570 range, then Science which is somewhere in the low 400's. I'm probably going to get Science but I'm gonna keep trying anyway! I hate the points race with a passion

D-Generate

Electrical, Electronic and Micro-electronic Engineering in UCC
New course composed of an amalgamation of Elec Eng (325) and Micro Elec Eng (350) so I expect it to be between 300-400. Easy enough points

Creamy Goodness

computer science DIT.

it was 220 last year, hope it stays around the same as i got a feeling i'm not going to do well in the LC

Camogie Playa

Bio and chem sciences in UCC so hopefully that'll either take me biochemistyr or biomedical degree,heres hoping biomedical degree.Need 450 to be absolutely safe!my lowest then is 280 so im at two totally different ends of the spectrum because ive 280 in my second choice for food science in ucc

Me too. Anyone have any idea what the points are going to be like for a course thats just starting this year?

Film and Germanics at Trinity. Very unlikely since all my academic candour has desserted me. I got the highest Junior Cert in my school, but since then I have been a **** student.

Shyster

Law with french....or irish...or german, depending on the points so need 535 to be safe for my first choice in UCC-not gonna happen!!
