    Don't be giving that false hope - a 'very high chance' is just a plain old lie. There's a chance, but an arts course going down by 15 points? It's unlikely, yet still possible to be totally honest... wait until Monday, and best of luck :) that's all I can say.

    it's not a plain old lie, but i'll admit it's very speculative! :D look at any analysist in the paper and they say the same thing about arts going down by 10-15 points!
    anyway, no more posting for me, i'm going to get paid to watch the chemical brothers!

    Irish Times: "don't expect mid-level arts and business courses to change wildly".

    No point in us arguing over it man :) truth is, neither of us knows, it's all speculation - enjoy the Chemical Brothers. Again, Jamey, best of luck - it's still possible. Might wanna consider a recheck too - you could end up missing out by just 5 points.

    Not really. The CAO won't allow you to do that but you can make an appeal to the college/university in the first week or two of being there and only if you are trying to move to a lower points course.
