Official rejection from UCC GEM received today.
I got first rounds from Galway and second rounds from Trinity recently. Looking for more information about each school before trying to make a decision. Anyone have any matching rates?anyone got a second round offer from NUIG or TCD?
If you had to choose between TCD or RCSI Bahrain- which one would you choose?
Anyone know the stats of matching back to US or Canada?
Any guidance would be helpful since I need to put the initial deposit ASAP for one of these schools.
TCD purely from an anecdotal basis if you want to match back to NA.
The stats change year to year and are heavily dependent on what you apply to carms for more than the school you come from. But carms just released the breakdown from this year and you can find threads for the stats on this forum with a minute of searching.
Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but i'm gonna give it a shot! A friend of mine has been accepted to UCC and he's starting his visa application because he doesn't hold a Canadian passport (nor has access to this forum and hence i'm asking on his behalf). According to the Irish visa website they require students to have evidence of finance (that they have sufficient funds to support their stay in Ireland). Apparently the process is quite tedious and require a lot of paper work and bank statements..etc. However there's an alternative option called "education bond" has anyone here done it before? or know a better way to prove their finance in order to have their visa approved?
And he's also wondering if he needs to have his full tuition paid before submitting his visa application or the initial deposit should do it?
Thanks
There's a thread called "My experience at UL med" posted on 31st of May this year. You can find it by clicking on the UK & Ireland page of these forums. OP of that thread did a good job talking about the school and the curriculum I thinki cant seem to find any threads that talk about a particular school. Is there anybody on this thread that can talk more about Uni of Limerick GEMS curriculum, life in limerick, daily life, etc. also, are are updated match statistics to the USA available?
As per Atlantic Bridge they did back in May. If you haven't heard from them yet (with either a yes/no) then you are on the waitlist! Hope that helps.Anybody know if Galaway is done giving offers? Atlantic Bridge said they would send out their offers early may, but by the replies on here, it doesn't seem like they have. Haven't gotten a rejection letter from them yet either, so I'm not sure.
Thanks!
If you haven't had a yes or a no then your application is "open" and you are waitlisted, hope that helps! But you could always email Atlantic Bridge to be certain.I have been going through all the pages and noticed that some people said that they are on the waitlist for some schools. I haven't heard back form UCD (GEM) and TCD(5 year program). If you used Atlantic Bridge, how did you guys find out if you're on the waitlist or not? Did you just email Atlantic Bridge or did you make an account on the schools website?
Thanks in advance
Hello,

if someone could rank all the irish schools in order, how you rank them from best to worst?...also does anybody know if its supposed to be hard for irish students who are from ireland to get into their own medical schools. Just trying to get an idea of how hard it is for irish natives to get into their own medical schools

Just got rejection from NUIG but still waiting on TCD (both 5 year). Anyone have any idea when TCD is sending their admission notice at this point?

It's time for a new thread, although the application process won't start until August.

Hi I am a Canadian student looking to apply to UCC. I have a cumulative GPA of 3.5, but my last 2 years of school were an assessment year GPA of 3.7 and 3.9 (BSc. Kinesiology). I wrote my MCAT and scored a 492. I am rewriting after taking some extra classes with much more preparation and am hoping to get a better score to improve my chances of getting in to medical school. Based on what I have for stats currently what are the chances of getting into UCC? They don't have a minimum MCAT or GPA requirement so I was curious to see what people have gotten in with.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I'm just wondering if anyone from UCC knows the difference between the 2 insurance policies provided by O'Driscoll O'Neil?
Hey, the match rates between schools differ from year-to-year. Success is largely dependent on how competitive the individual classes are and how competitive the individual applicant is. It is easy to fall behind on board exams, especially if applying to both systems (Canada and USA). Also, setting up US rotations is getting more and more difficult. A lot of people say "it depends on what specialty you are applying to". I don't necessarily agree with that. Some people successfully match to surgical subspecialties and others fail to match to less competitive specialties. It really just depends on the individual.i cant seem to find any threads that talk about a particular school. Is there anybody on this thread that can talk more about Uni of Limerick GEMS curriculum, life in limerick, daily life, etc. also, are are updated match statistics to the USA available?
Hi! I recently got accepted into RCSI's 5 year medical program for 2018 entry, and I had lots of questions about RCSI and the 5 yr program. I was wondering if a current student preferably in the 5 or 6 yr programs could reach out and answer them? Thanks!
No, if you look here: Frequent Questions – Atlantic Bridge and scroll toI wasn't aware RCSI had a 5 year? I was told that they had only GEM entry. Is that RCSI-MUB in Bahrain?

How long are the medical degree courses in Ireland?
You will have a breakdown the number of years (4-6) and which school offers it.
Keep in mind this is only through AB, as I have heard UCD offers a 5 year program which is not listed there.
Life style and school reputation were big ones. I still felt that Irish schools had stigmas, whereas Australian schools are quite literally some of the best schools in the world. Australian National Uni, Uni of Sydney, Uni of Melbourne and University of Queensland are particularly ranked very high. I also have the privilege of going to Australian National University which gives its internationals the same status as domestics when applying for internships, giving me an amazing backup if I am not able to secure a residency in Canada or the US.
If you still have questions about RCSI's 6 or 5 year program you can ask me. I am going into my 3rd year at RCSI through the 6 year program.I wasn't aware RCSI had a 5 year? I was told that they had only GEM entry. Is that RCSI-MUB in Bahrain?
