I applied to the GEM programs at UCD and RCSI. Still waiting on UCC and any potential response from UL.

I received letters of rejection from RCSI (yesterday) and UCD (today). Doesn't look promising for me for any of the schools.

Me too. I have my fingers crossed for UCC, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm very disappointed; I have no idea what their admission criteria is
 
Anyone received any second round offers for the 5 year program?

So how was it, what do u like about RCSI, what do u dislike about RCSI. Also did u live at Mercer, if yes how was it? Starting med at RCSI in Sept(6 yr) from Ontario Canada.

I like that RCSI has a purely medical focus and that the curriculum reflects this. I also love the cultural diversity that is present at the college. There are students from over 70 different countries. However, It is a rather small college and there isn't as much faculty as there maybe should be so there seems to be quite a few scheduling errors and our classes are moved around pretty frequently. I did live in Mercer and I really enjoyed it. It was really easy to meet people and make friends in the student accommodation. It was also really nice being so close to the college to and city centre.
 
Hey does RCSI allow student with no science backgrounds to enter. I am completing my BA

Im in the 6 year program straight from high school so I don't know for sure, but I think you just need an MCAT.
 
Yeah. I'm gonna take the MCAT and the first semester bio Chem and physics. I will try and maintain and increase my GPA to minimum 3.6. My goal is to score high on the MCAT. Nothing lower than a 490. I already understand all the sciences. But proof is needed so..
 
Hi! Not sure if this has been answered before, but I haven't heard from UL yet - I haven't interviewed for UL either. What are the odds that UL will host another round of interviews?? Thanks for any help!

As far as I know UL has never done 2nd round interviews.

TCD started sending out their second round of offers. It's been over a week now. UCC and NUIG are starting soon too (I was told, mid-late May)
 
Does Anyone know when RCSI starting their secound round offers?

Anyone who went to the interview and presentation for the RCSI Bahrain in Canada, does anyone remember what's the name of the guy that was presenting and does anyone has his email? unfortunately, I lost his business card! Thanks

I don't think they will have another round of interviews. They interviewed ~100 people in the first round and accepted ~45. So I'm guessing they will first go through the waitlist of 55 people leftover from the first-round, before they conduct another round of interviews. So the likelihood of another round of interviews is almost negligible..

I'm from Toronto but I have been living/going to school in Alberta for a while now. How about you?

I'm from Toronto. Just finished my undergrad at Ryerson. Have you already paid your initial deposit and everything?
 
Just wanted to verify, it sounds as though only UCC and UCD have yet to send out their second round offers?

Accepted my offer to TCD! Is there fb group for the incoming class yet?
 
@sassa or anybody else enrolled in Limerick's GEM programme, how long was your winterbreak? a rough estimation of dates would be extremely helpful!
I know it starts ~17th December, but anyone know when it ends?

No, it's January 2nd. They go by day/month! but there's an "Inter term Break" from jan 2nd to jan 19. Not sure if that applies to med school too though

Hi, does anyone know if UCC Sheares Gate accommodation is gender specific, or are there a mix of males/females living together?

It ends right after New Years. So you have 2 weeks off for Year 1, 2 and 3. Year 4 is a bit different. Expect to be back around Jan 2-4th.

The rest of the school goes back in February but GEMS is on a separate calendar.
