More than 4,000 applicants receive CAO round zero offers 

Head of communications for CAO, Eileen Keleghan urged any “mature, deferred, graduate entry medicine, and access applicants” to access their CAO accounts in order to see if they have gotten a round zero offer.

Some 4,797 applicants received offers for third level places via the Central Applications Office (CAO).

The so-called round zero offers relate to applicants who are not competing with those awaiting their 2023 Leaving Certificate grades, or who are assessed on other criteria. In all, 6,270 offers were made as some applicants will have applied for spaces in level 6 or 7, and level 8 courses.
