Hello everyone!
I need some advice as I don't know what I'm doing with my life LOL
In a fourth-year student, and I will graduate in April from my undergrad in Biology.
I have applied to some graduate programs, and I have been accepted for an MPH (one year program)
I also applied to Irish medical school from Atlantic bridge- however, only the five-year program ( instead of four). The five-year program is that I have not written the MCAT. I will be writing the MCAT in late June, which only allows me to apply for the 2023 application cycle in both Canada and USA.
Most individuals who applied to Atlantic bridge (well, at least to the schools I applied to) have not heard back. They told us that we would receive an answer before the first of April, but we have not. I'm not sure when they will be sending out offers, and when I asked Atlantic Bridge directly, they provided very unspecific responses.
I have to accept my offer to MPH by April 16. So here are my questions!!
1. Should I wait for Ireland?
2. Should I accept my MPH offer since I won't know when Ireland med schools will reply?
3. Since my MPH program is one year, should I get an MPH degree just in case because if I go to Irish med schools, I will be IMG, and if I do not match, I will have a job with an MPH. Also, because I am graduating this year and can only apply for med school for the 2023 schools year, that leaves me one year to spare ( I can either work or do an MPH).
4. Wouldn't it be a better idea to do MPH, write the MCAT, and apply to USA and Canada med schools?
5. Wait for Ireland until April 16- and then, if I do not hear back, will I accept the MPH offer?
6. Decline MPH and wait for Ireland?
Please HELP IM GOING INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE
Also, does anyone know if Canadian MPH degrees are valid in the USA? Since I am trying to do a residency in the USA rather Than Canada anyways?
