Hello everyone!
I'm planning on studying medicine in ireland (hopefully), but I've run into a couple problems with CAO. For Level 8 courses you get 10 options which is great, but besides my top three
Medicine at TCD
Medicine at UCD
Medicine at RSCI
I'm doubting what else to put, because I'd still like to apply to other similar course such as pharmacy, biomedical sciences, etc.
I really like Trinity as a university, so I'd prefer to apply for courses there, but I'd love to have some recommendations. I'm currently doing the IB program and I have a 41 (776 in HLs) predicted. Does applying for all 10 courses decrease my chances for medicine, and do I upload my predicted grades as my transcript, or all the school rapports I've received?
I'd really appreciate some advice, thanks in advance!
You dont need to fill them all in when I went to college I only put in my first pref and second pref. If you do have an interest in another course just put them down in the order you are interested in them not in the order by points / grades needed. I don't think the colleges even have any idea what your other courses are bar the one you get offered so dont worry about it
Hi there. Welcome to /r/StudyinIreland.
This sub is for International Students to ask about the mechanics of moving here to study, any Irish students should reach out to the leaving cert subs, the individual college subs or even /r/AskIreland.
This sub is small and cannot give accurate/up to date information on individual college courses, content or job market applicability. If you would like specific information on specific courses we would advise seeing the subs for the colleges or any industry specific subs that exist.
Please see the Wiki or Sidebar for lists of subs that may be of more tailored use.

Don't throw anything you have little or no interest in. If you want to do medicine, then medicine it is. Being open to Cork or Galway is the only thing I can say.
You don't need to fill all ten, like maybe throw Cork on there as a hail mary but you don't need to fill it, especially when it's something specialised
It won't affect my top options if I fill all 10 in though, right?
It's ranked choice so most sought at top to least sought at bottom
