I received it this morning around 7 am
I would say RCSI ranks highest among Irish medical schools. It is just more expensive than the others.
I hope the offer will go to someone who has been patiently waiting for an answer. Best of luck to all ! The prime -0.25% loan is for attending physicians. I had my LOC through RBC all through med school and residency and only when I recently graduated residency and started making attending money did they give me the better rate.
Not true. They have a medical and dental student line of credit at prime + x%.
Their medical and dental LoC is always at prime-0.25% no? They have changed their policy in recent years I believe. Those with prime +x% are professional line of credit and are only 150k max.
It is true! the prime- 0.25% is for students enrolled in Canadian schools only, (most banks). It used to be the case that same rate applied regardless if you study medicine in Canada or not; Not anymore, CIBC for example changed to prime + 1.0 % in the last year for students going abroad. BMO and RBC are also on the same trend (a bit different in the process, maximum, rate). I contacted most banks recently. Hope that helps.
BMO gave me prime - 0.25% in the last conversation (was in Feb or March). The other banks are all in the pluses.
I've emailed my admissions officer and all she said was that my application is still active under the two schools. I interviewed for Bahrain and idk if that makes other schools hesitant?Yes, they told me that too., and then they changed it about 10 days ago, even changed on their website now, prime + 1.75%
i don't see it from their website. where do you see it?
It is under "professional student line of credit", now back to prime plus 1% !!
You are correct!
TD didnt give me minuses, they said plus something but couldnt get the exact numberIt is under "professional student line of credit", now back to prime plus 1% !!
Professional Student Line of Credit - BMO Canada
Pursue your studies in accounting, law, and more. A BMO Professional Student Line of Credit helps cover costs while you take your education to the next level.www.bmo.com
By the way, only TD gives prime- 0.25%, they still give the same rate regardless if studying is in Canada or abroad. However, they ask that the grantor has lots of assets (I am not sure if grantor has to be their customer too?)
Unfortunate to hear about TD discrepancy! I am pretty sure they provide prime - 0.25%, up to 350,00. Maybe the applicant (or the grantor) have to be a customer already and at good terms with them!
Nope, nothing.
I got an interview and an acceptance last week from UCD and an interview invite this week from RCSI. Hope this helps!
yeah, for sure! 3.95 GPA and 509 MCAT
Thanks! I actually withdrew my application from RCSI before the interview. In the invite email it said it was to be done using video conferencing system but nothing specific. The one with UCD was via skype tho. Best of luck to you!!
Hi, when was RCSI having its interview
Hi , what dates was RCSI scheduling the interview, was wondering if they would be still sending out interview letters
They had me scheduled for last Wednesday. I’m not sure if that was the only date or not but they set up the time for the interview.
Thanks
They have online lectures for the first semester even including the anatomy labs and such? Did they shuffle the curriculum components around to accommodate the online learning? Would you be able to copy-paste the school's exact words on how they are going to do this? I am assuming this would be uniform or at least similar across Irish schools.
As far as we've been told there has been no change to the curriculum components. Our final schedule is going to be submitted in August I believe. I will refer you to this page. Just to be safe, I would not assume that all schools will follow the same approach, and wait to hear back from specific schools.
I don't know if this would still apply with the extenuating COVID-19 situation.
I've received offers from both, and accepted the NUIG offer.
