Has anyone else's life been revolving around Irish business hours?

It would really be the best thing to wake up to ever. I've been waking up multiple times every night to check my email lolI’m on a night shift right now. Hoping I’ll be waking up to a “Dear Applicant, congratulations!...” email this evening. So kind of

Haha ouch!Man, I’ve literally woken up from a melatonin induced dead sleep after hearing my phone beep in the middle of the night thinking it’s ABP. Only to later find out the email was from someone saying my inheritance has come through from a Nigerian prince and I have to give them my credit card to collect the funds
Haha ouch!
got accepted to UCD gem!!!!! Best of luck everyone
Hey! UG: 3.4 gpa, 510 mcat, MSc 4.0 gpaCongratulations ! Can you post stats please ?
got accepted to UCD gem!!!!! Best of luck everyone
I just got accepted to UCD! I will be declining as I already miraculously got 2 acceptances here and just deposited yesterday.
Good luck guys, wasn’t expecting that! 3.75/3.62 504
it was ucd admissions, not atlantic bridgeCongrats! regarding the email you received from UCD last week, was it sent directly from a UCD address or through the ABP?
If you could just go ahead and forward that acceptance to me, that’d be great
It's all the same - the school decides what length program you'd be best suited for...Anything from UCD 6 year program?
If you interviewed at RCSI and have not been rejected then you have a chance to receive an offer if you decline UCC.hypothetically, if i were to decline my ucc acceptance offer, with a 3.3 gpa and 505 mcat, would that put me at better standing with ucd or rcsi? i know atlantic bridge denies that recieving an offer from one school affects your chances at other schools but past threads seem to definitely reflect that it does matter.
I guess i just have this image in my head that dublin is better. but i haven't interviewed at RCSI and would much rather go to med school than take a year off so I think I'll be accepting. Thanks for the advice man!If you interviewed at RCSI and have not been rejected then you have a chance to receive an offer if you decline UCC.
One one hand, if your heart isn't at UCC why go there for 4 years?
On the other, do you want to risk not getting into any school?
That is what my ABP contact told me- that no decisions had been released from NUIG or TCD yet and to expect it sometime mid April.So sorry, but I just need to confirm - Am I correct in assuming we will most likely not be hearing from NUI Galway and TCD until mid-April? It seems the schools are releasing their decisions one at a time... also, do all the schools do first, second and third rounds or is this subjective?
I feel like this has been asked before, but at this rate even a general guideline would help my sanity!
No problem. Good luck with your studies, doctorI guess i just have this image in my head that dublin is better. but i haven't interviewed at RCSI and would much rather go to med school than take a year off so I think I'll be accepting. Thanks for the advice man!
They probably would by that time since the deposit is due april 11lol I would really like to hear back from UCD. Fingers crossed that they let me know before April 6th!!!
I accepted my offer to ucd! To all those waiting.. The day after you hit rock bottom may be the best day of your life. Just keep working at it and the right thing for you will happen
Direct acceptanceFor you guys who received UCD offers congratz and wish the best for the others who are waiting!
And did you have interviews or it was just direct acceptances?
Hey everyone,
I'm an Irish med school grad and matched back to North America. I can see theres a lot of questions regarding the whole process. Let me know if you have any questions about literally anything at all! Best of luck to those applying and congrats to those who have received acceptances.
What happens those that do not match?Hey there,
Yes, there are plenty every year- and, there are a ton that match to the US too. For exact placements and locations, atlantic bridge's website has a list of residency placements. That'll give you a good idea. Albeit, some don't match due to various reasons.
Favorite thing is definitely the social scene. No matter where you are, there are pubs and restaurants galore. Ireland has a very young population so everywhere is vibrant. Plus, the proximity to mainland Europe is a huge bonus. The Irish are truly the most hospitable and people you will meet and you'll always find things to do and not be bored (at all).
Thanks for posting! Where did you match to? And where all did you apply to for residency? (Was the residency you obtained your 1st, 2nd... choice?)Hey everyone,

I submitted my apps for all 4 GEM programs first week of January. Got interview invite for RCSI Jan 24, interview this weekend.
Hey, I'm in the exact situation your in although I also applied to NUIGIf it’s of any help to anyone I got my RCSI acceptance for the 5/6 year program on Monday (the 13th of March) conditionally assuming I maintain an 85 average but I’ve already finished all my courses with above that so I’m not worried. I was wondering if anyone knew when you generally hear back from UCD or any of the other 6 year programs because RCSI wants a (hefty) deposit by 21 days after your email of acceptance and I don’t want to accept before I’ve considered all my options
they are not out yet. probably in the next couple of weeksAre TCD offers out, anyone know?
congrats! I have applied to UCD and NUIG and I am waiting for their response. I was wondering when did you get your letter/email of acceptance?hello, I have been accepted to UCD six-year medicine program but am having trouble getting loans since i don't have a cosigner. Any suggestions?

Hey guys! How are you all doing, I everything is going well. I not long ago received an offer of admission for UCD School of Medicine. As a Canadian citizen, I am really interested in knowing what the residency match rate was for Canada or the US in 2017. If anyone can tell me anything about this, it would be highly appreciated!
Hi! Did you study at UCC?
Congrats on the acceptance!
It's tough to speculate an exact match rate. I hate to not give you an exact number or percentage, because it does vary between schools and graduation year. I would say it hovers around 75%, but that is a very rough estimate and does fluctuate year-to-year with many, many variables. In 2017, the reported match rate was an estimated 79% for all Irish schools; however, this didn't include the second round of CaRMS matched.
A lot of the people that do apply to match end up doing so- but not all. And this is for many reasons. At the same time, a lot of North Americans don't apply for the match altogether for various reasons as well..
