ENTRY REQUIREMENTS (EG HC1 FRE
FOR UCC B.COMM (FRENCH)
These are the applicants for CK101 Arts in UCC.
The examination results have not yet been released, so
these applicants are in no particular order.
We are going to trace the progress of the applicant marked
The applicants marked in green have enough points to be offered places.
The applicant marked in red has enough points for his second preference.
The applicant in red is offered his second preference, the highest preference course that
he has enough points for, and he will now dissappear from the queue in all his lower
choices. Placing DN201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive
an offer on DN201 than on any other course except CK101 - which is his first
preference.
Having been offered his second preference he must now decide to accept it or to do
nothing. If he does not accept the offer the place will be offered to another applicant in
the next round of offers.
Regardless of whether he accepts or not he will still be considered for an offer on his
first preference if a place becomes available. In the second round, one more offer was
made on CK101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue.
