Anyone hear what the percent US match was for the schools? We won’t know where the placements are until Friday but if I’m understanding how it works, we should know how many matched/SOAPed

Matching in the US for Irish grads was quite high and largely depended on your step 1 USMLE score. Now with the removal of scores for USMLE step 1 (only pass/fail), it is unchartered territory for everyone. In all cases, Irish grads are highly respected and usually noted for their superior clinical skills in comparison to Canadian or US grads.

I know. 80% of me wants to go and get started. But that 20% is so scared of not matching, especially when u read so many scary stories on Reddit and sdn. I wish that the Irish schools revealed their matching statistics per school.

Any one heard that after 2025, any Canadian medical student that graduated USA med school will be considered IMG and vice versa lol. The degrees are no longer equivalent for residency matching after 2025.
 
Just for everyone's knowledge, RCSI offers for 5/6 year programs first round started to be sent out this morning. Just heard from one of the applicants who was interviewed back in February. The email for the offer was sent from RCSI directly.
Good luck to everyone.

If it's around a time when a lot of students are sending in documents (like when semester one of high school ended), it takes a lot of time. Usually, I hear back from them the next day or in two days.
Sometimes the college communicates directly to the applicant, so you would know before even AB gets the word.
 
What do you mean by Atlantic bridge? Also, I only received the so-called login portal for RCSI, did anyone receive it for any other universities?
 
Even though it’s an assumption, but looking at how RCSI’s decisions were layed out, I am going to assume that the 5/6 year decisions come out at the very end of the cycle.

Do you mean offers? Instead of applications ?
