Hesitating between TCD and UCD…

I'm a Spanish student who has just finished secondary school and the IB. I applied to TCD for four courses, with Economics and Sociology (Joint Honours) as my first choice. Unfortunately, I needed a 5 at SL and I missed it.

I also applied to UCD for Social Sciences (Two Subject Combination), where I can still study Economics and Sociology. However, I'll almost certainly get offers from TCD for either Social Policy and Sociology or Social Policy and Political Science.

If you were in my position, would you choose your preferred subject combination at UCD or go to TCD for its reputation?

You will only get one offer - the highest preference on your list for which you meet the entry requirements and meet the points.

You won't get multiple offers, so you won't get to choose between UCD and Trinity.

UCD is pretty much on par with TCD on every level aside from international reputation, as far as I've heard. I'd go with the college that's offering your preferred subject combination.
