    A lot of music courses require you to do an audition/entrance exam to be accepted, instead of points. In these cases, you usually just need to pass all of your exams to get in (as well as the audition of course). I think some colleges might require certain grades e.g. 2 passes at higher level and the rest ordinary level etc.

    Yeah, they're based on auditions and interviews once you pass your Leavin Cert

    DIT do a foundation year, and theres some PLC colleges that do foundation years too [Ballyfermot and Kylemore are some]

    Just don't get too lax about studying and stuff though. College is a lot different from school work-wise, so it's a good idea to make sure and keep on top of things so you're used to it when you get to college :)
