I have noticed in the forums that the GPA's of students that get accepted into the Irish medical school is quite varied. Some with a high GPA get rejected and some with a low GPA get accepted. What are some other things that the schools look at as a major part of their decision? I have a 3.3 GPA. But I have a lot of extracurricular activities and clinical experience. I'm applying to UCD, RCSI, Trinity, and UCC through the ABP. Think I have any chance of being accepted at any of these? What can I do to increase my chances? Any advice or info would be appreciated.

UCC seems to like varied life experiences. I was told I got in because I had interesting hobbies and an interesting looking Arts degree. Do you have an MCAT score? UCC requires it.
Good luck,
