Q&A: Everything you need to know about CAO offers and what to do next

Previously, students who secured top marks missed out on their chosen course essentially due to a lottery. We may see this repeated this year. 

Today, almost 84,300 people who applied for college places through the Central Applications Office (CAO) will find out if they have received an offer when the first round of cut-off points is published.

CAO round one offers will be available for students online only from 2pm today
