I've been accepted to an Irish graduate entry program and I cannot decide whether to go or not... I'm looking for advice - perhaps some of you have been in a similar situation?
I'm a Canadian who has just completed an MSc. I have written the mcat several times with my best score being 27O (10 PS, 7 VR, 10 BS), written in March. I plan to rewrite in July and I think I can do better but there's always the possibility of not... I have never applied to North American schools before and feel that I have to at least apply here before going to Ireland to avoid being in debt for many years to come, in addition to avoiding the hurdles of coming back to NA to practice. I feel that if I go to Ireland without even applying here, I'll have always thought "what if...". That being said, I find it very difficult to give up an acceptance to a good med school. I may reject this current offer and reapply to both Ireland and North American schools for 2010. I suppose my question is will this hurt me in my Ireland application... will the adcoms for the schools be influenced by my decision to reject the offer this year?
