I think they only look at your more recent grades. Don't worry about your grades, just send them when you can. You don't have to worry about the minor details.
Why are you worried, i got my acceptance in like march for NUIG. Whats sent in is sent in. There is nothing you can do about it now. At this time last year i wasn't too concerned at all.
I believe if you applied and made the Nov. 15th deadline, then you will hear back from RCSI late January/early February. However, if you do not receive any sort of invitation, or rejection then your application will be grouped with those applicants that applied with the January 31st deadline (being the second cycle of applicants). I believe that everyone will hear back April/May, and I'm sure the applicants that received no invite, but applied by Nov. 15th get some kind of priority over the late applicants. I'm not 100% sure, but this is what I have come to understand from reading many threads from this years application and the previous. For all I know, RCSI might give out interviews to the Nov.15 applicants that didn't receive interviews in the first place only because someone declined an offer after the first round of interviews. RCSI would know by early April all the applicants that have declined/accepted, so then they could get back to the ones that didn't get interviewed by then. So they might not even relate applications from the first cycle to the second. I don't think anyone really knows for sure how applicants are selected and what applying early/late means except for RCSI. So no worries. No need to stress about something that isn't known. At this point, applicants that made the original deadline, but didn't get an interview should probably hear about an interview or rejection in April/May. I would email ABP to see when you'll be hearing back from RCSI for sure though. I would wait a week or so because who knows you still might get an interview
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't think I can be of any help to you. I applied to the RCSI graduate entry program.
Thanks CuriousGee,
Are you applying for the 4-yr program? I am applying for the 5-yr program, completed my application by the November 15 deadline, in the West Coast and no notification so far. It should be this week though. Anybody else?
I applied to the 4-year program, I live/attend school in Vancouver - west coast of Canada and I have heard no news yet.
Thanks for this great post. I applied before Nov. 15th but my second reference and my transcripts weren't sent until early January. I guess this means I'll be waiting for second round interviews. On a side note, I got an interview to NOSM today! Super happy about that.I believe if you applied and made the Nov. 15th deadline, then you will hear back from RCSI late January/early February.
