Could I get a Tivo for college?

How to Get into Trinity College Dublin, Ireland?

• I'm an american Student in the 9th grade and i really want to go to Trinity College to study music. i have descendants that are originally from Ireland, but there further back from my grandparents, probably a long way back. Will this cause me to not be able to go to trinity College? I'm wanting to attend the College for 4 years, or how ever long it takes me to get my master degree in music. also, what are all the requirements for me to attend the college, and can i get and use a scholarship from america, to pay for the college? also, am i able to get a side job while attending the College, if i'm able to attend it? and can i go to a Pre-College in america for 2 years and then to the Trinity College and the last thing i need to know is how well is the band program at the college, and what is the acceptency rate and the passing rate at the college?

• Answer:

  1) If you are interested in studying it Ireland, don't restrict yourself to just trinity. It is a fine university but there are many others that are all of a very high caliber, that all have a very long and presitgious history), plus in cities less expensive than Dublin For example National University of Ireland, Galway (founded 1845) Fabulous university, in a fabulous city, and if you are into music and the arts, Galway is one of the most vibrant cultural cities in Ireland National University of Ireland, Maynooth (origins traced back to 1795) University College Cork (Founded 1845) University College Dublin (Founded 1854) University of Limerick is newer university established this century, but of very good quality as well. There is also Queen's university(founded in 1845) and, the modern University of Ulster, in the north of Ireland. A standard undergraduate degree in Ireland is 3 years in length, and most masters are 1 year. One alternative is to study your undergrad in the US, and do the masters in Ireland. or even to study your undergrad in one Irish university, and your Masters in another, to be able to broaden your Irish experience. Contact the universities for admission standards FEES Yes you will have to pay foreign fees which are about 15k Euro (just a guess, I think they are about treble the domestic fees) to attend an Irish university. For this reason foreign students are actually very welcome in the universities, as they are good sources of incomes. STUDENT VISA Will allow you to work 20 hours a week while studying, the economy is bad at the moment, but hopefully will be better by the time you graduate from High school the economy will have improved. I know that there are some scholarships available to study in Ireland such as the http://www.us-irelandalliance.org/content/44/en/Scholarships/Apply/Online%20Application.html I'm sure there are others, but you'll have to do the research yourself.
