20 courses were left to random selection.
Students who received maximum points in the Leaving Cert still missed out on their first choice in a lottery system.
20 courses went down to a random selection yesterday as the CAO offers were released, with a major increase in points required.
Students have until Tuesday at 3pm to accept their course, with round to offers released on September 6th.
Guidance counsellor in Mullingar and former President of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors, Betty McLaughlin, says students should still be hopeful of second round offers:
