    Equivalencies Leaving certificate-Baccalaurat

    French Baccalaureate (France)The percentages of students attaining each level in the French Baccalaureate are compared

    with the percentages of students attaining the various points levels in the Irish leaving certificate

    This applicant has made a mistake in her order of preference.She really wanted Engineering but she thought she would not get

    enough points, so she put Science as her first preference and

    Engineering as her second preference. Her position in the academic

    order of merit lists for each of these courses is shown below.

  • 7/31/2019 Etudes Superieures en Irlande

    36/39

    The yellow area shows all of the applicants that have enoughpoints for these two courses. This applicant has enough points

    for both courses. She will only be offered her first preference course

    because, by placing it as her first preference she indicated that she

    wanted this course more than any other course.

  • 7/31/2019 Etudes Superieures en Irlande

    37/39

    The applicant disappears from the list of Engineering applicants,and from all of her lower preference choices, because she has received

    an offer of a place on Science which she indicated she wanted more

    than any other course. She may not change her mind at this stage.
