It has emerged today that the CAO has made a significant blunder in the processing of this years college applications. At least 20 students who sent in change of mind forms fell victim to a computer problem that was known by the CAO but which they never informed the students of. To be honest, with the pressure that students are under these days to achieve high points in their leaving certificate, this sickens me to the core. It’s exactly the kind of thing that’s wrong with the country – no concern or even common decency exists anymore amongst too many organisations. I sincerely hope that this mess is sorted out for the students concerned. source: Irish Times
