Order of Preference

• It is most important that applicants state their course choices in order of genuine preference and/or career plans.
• It is a mistake to base course choices only on your present expectations of examination performance or the points level of previous years.
• If you are not successful in your first choice this will have no effect on your chances of obtaining a place in one of your lower preferences.
• Having received an offer in any round, you may get a higher preference offer in a later round. You will never be offered a lower preference in a later round.
