No waiting around for Jack as he bypasses CAO
The 18-year-old from Ballincollig, Co Cork, is preparing to start a degree in radiography at the University of Exeter in Cornwall, where he was offered a place on Thursday.
Jack links his interest in the career to having arm injuries X-rayed over the years. But he knew he wouldn’t get the minimum 525 points — at least five B1s and an A2 in higher-level Leaving Certificate subjects — that was needed last year for the only course offered in Ireland, at University College Dublin.
