I wish you luck!!
Hey, I just got mine. I should be happy, but it poses a bit of a dilemma...
I am currently in Brazil, had planned to fly from here to England where I'll have an interview at the U of Leicester Feb. 20th, then come back here and go to Argentina in March where I was going to teach English. There is no way I could afford all of this along with a flight to Toronto as well. Do you guys think they might be willing to interview me in Ireland when I head out for the Leicester interview (I was planning on hopping over to Ireland to check out the schools anyway)? Any advice? Thanks!

I've heard this theory before, and while I don't know anybody personally who can prove otherwise, I found a few posts frome people that were accepted at both schools.

There were also a couple over at premed101.com.

Hey,
First of all, congratulations on the interview. I was wondering if you could tell us WHEN the interviews are being held.
Also, if you don't mind, could you post your stats. If you don't want to, then that's totally fine too.
Take care and best of luck to everyone out there.

those stats are not bad at all; GPAwise I'm with you, but MCAT: 32 O. When are you going to interview? I wasn't able to change my interview to Ireland, so I'm on the 7th in the afternoon, in the t-dot. By the way, the chances of getting a spot after the interview are very very good, so I've been told by a very reliable source.

Reliable source being Mr. P Nealon? I kind of got that impression too. I'm scheduled for tuesday afternoon as well. I'll probably just catch a train down to Toronto in the morning.
To Sage880, I ran the gauntlet and applied to all 4 schools. So hopefully UCC pans out as well.
Cheers,
Jocks

Hey Guys,
Just found out that RCSI is starting to offer a 4-year program for those with degrees. This is definately something I'm going to bring up during the interview. Here's the link:

The link you posted is for the EU applicants. The non-EU says this:
4 Year Course
Applicants must have completed a bachelors degree prior to matriculation and must present competitive scores in the MCAT. Official College transcripts, MCAT score cards and three reference letters are required.
Sounds like they are basically treating it like a typical 4 year NA school admission.
Yeah, I read that too actually, but just assumed it was a mistake on the website or something, don't know why. That would definitely be something worth considering...
