Nursing points soar as students get college offers

The Central Applications Office (CAO) is sending offers of college places to almost 45,904 of this year’s 63,289 applicants today but students can check the CAO website rather than wait for tomorrow’s post.

With almost 5,000 mature students and other applicants already offered college places earlier this month, 13,168 people are still without an offer this morning. But, based on figures from previous years, up to 1,000 of them can expect to get good news in the second round of offers due out on Friday week, September 3.
