Students await third level offers

22/08/2005 - 07:38:21
Around 60,000 Leaving Cert students find out today if they have been successful in receiving their first-choice place on third-level courses.

Reports this morning said points had fallen for most arts, commerce and law courses but had increased yet again for virtually all medical and nursing courses.

The points needed to study medicine have reached 590 at Dublin's Trinity College - almost the equivalent of six A1s in the Leaving Cert.
