CAO ordering strategy for Medicine?
Hey everyone,
I’m finalizing my CAO list for undergraduate medicine and ended up with 728 points in total (combined LC and HPAT).
Looking at previous trends, 728 puts me right on the borderline for a few universities, while a couple of others sit slightly higher (around 730-733).
With the 200 extra medical seats rolling out and the new UL undergrad course, I know points might fluctuate. My question is: what is the safest way to order my choices?
Should I list the colleges with the slightly higher previous points at the top of my list just in case they drop, or is it safer to put the college that perfectly matches my 728 score as number 1? I just want to maximize my chances of getting a spot somewhere.
Any advice on how the CAO algorithm handles this would be a massive help. Thanks!
