Canadians applying to the Atlantic Bridge 5 and 6 year programs

[CurveballfromCanada]

How do you do, fellow Canadians?

I'm currently in my first year of undergrad, and I'm considering applying to medical schools in Ireland through the Atlantic Bridge program at the end of this academic year. I was wondering if there were any people here who had experience with these programs? I've heard that schools in Ireland look at your application more holistically than other countries. What sort of GPA and ECs would I need to have a realistic shot at getting in?

Hey not a student, but was just looking through posts and came across this. I called AB a few days ago and they said that their realistic cut-off's were around a 3.2 and MCAT score of 499, which falls in the 50th percentile. I know, anecdotally, of folks getting in with anything from between 3.1 to 3.5 (and of course higher) and MCAT's 503-507 range. 507+ would be considered competitive based on my research
