CAO Application

[noodlepeg]

Just wondering you guys, I sent in my transcript to CAO about 3 weeks ago now and they havent put it up my online thing yet. I emailed that guy Ivor Gleeson and got an expected rude response from him about there being lots of people and how on earth could he tell me whether they'd got mine.

Anyone else got any confirmation? I'm aware of this deadline looming and the fact that this is the single biggest deal in my life at this time.

Hi,
I sent mine in December and they never updated my application.
I wouldn't worry too much - it'll be their mistake, and they'll have to give you your place!

cool thanks. but somehow i cant imagine that organisation taking the blame for anything...

When I sent in my degree confirmation [I presume that's the transcript you're talking about?] nothing appeared online, so I used whatever the generic CAO email address is [I don't know, it's an online form in the contact us section] and got a response within a day or so.

Stupid question, but did you make your CAO number very clear and obvious?

Might just have been that time of the month

On the 26th of May at 13:30 I sent a mail to cao asking if they had my transcript on file.
30 minutes later I got a reply saying Yes, they have them.

noodlepeg -> fu ck it, keep mailing them until you get an answer.

[fraggle2]

should it appear on your application? I handed mine in in person, so just presumed that they had them!

Yep, gotta get your money's worth for that €35, seeing as they have feck all work to do for us but we paid the same fee as the Leaving brigade.

I just checked my online cao thing and it says nothing about transcript results received.
I think it is worth being paranoid about them not having your results until they email and confirm they are on file. There is -no- chance they will take responsibility if they got lost in the post or went -missing-
As couldntgetaname says, you have already paid them money to handle your application. You have every right to get an answer to that question.

Spike.

i'll drop them a line then... hadn't even entered my head before now.
