HOW ARE PLACES ALLOCATED? POINTS n ENTRY REQUIREMENTS (EG HC 1 FRE FOR UCC B. COMM (FRENCH) n

These are the applicants for CK 101 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 DN 201 as his second preference meant that he would prefer to receive an offer on DN 201 than on any other course except CK 101 - 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 CK 101 and our applicant is now at the top of the queue.
