    Hi All,
    i'm going to do a Fetac level 5 course in liberal arts in Rathmines College. It says on the UCD and Maynooth websites that they accept this course and hold about 25 places each year for people who apply using this course.

    Does anyone have any further info on this? Did you or anyone you know get in using this as their way in?

    any further info would be very much welcome.

    cheers-Gary. :confused:

    I got into my degree with a Fetac Level 5. The university is normally fine about it, as you say there are a certain number of places available (20 something I believe)

    as a tip, for scoring purposes: However many modules you do on your course, your best eight are taken. If you get 8 distinctions and a 2 passes, it just counts as 8 distinctions, if you get 7 distinctions, 2 merits and a pass it counts as 7 disinctions and a merit etc.

    Also, CAO messed up my placment when I applied: if they offer you a place lower then your first choice (i.e. if you have Maynooth as your first option, then DIT second for example, and they offer you DIT, DO NOT EXCEPT until you've confirmed with your first placement that you indeed didnt get it.)

    this happened to me, and it was only when I rang NUIM to ask what went wrong (I was wondering if I read the admissions wrong or somehow missed one of the things needed to get in) that they told me I was on the register and due to begin in September! If I hadnt rang I would have clicked except for my 2nd (or 3rd, cant remember) option instead, and would have ended up somewhere else.
