Hey guys,
I just got my second MCAT score (28Q, 6V 11P, 11B), and I have a strong GPA of 3.93 (science GPA is also aroudn 3.90). To make things more complicated, I got an offer from Trinity College School of Medicine in Ireland, it's a great school but the only thing holding me back is that they don't prepare you for the USMLE (you have to study on your own) and their clinical rotations are different from the US. I just don't know whether I should decline the offer and apply US MD and DO schools this cycle with a possiblity that I may not get into a US MD school. It's a big gamble! I really don't know how to make decisions now. Please help me, any advance is appreciated!!!
