[docs87]

[medisforme]

Yes, I am. Been working as an RN for past 6 years

Thats awesome, this is my first time applying how about yourself?

 

[medisforme]

this is my fourth application cycle, but first for Irish med schools.

im surprised with all your experiance that you didnt get into a local uni, I assumed for us RN's MD admissions would value us. im guessing ur applying to the gep program? it would be cool if we get accepted to the same school 🙂

Getting into med school in Canada is a crapshoot, there is some luck involved for many applicants (acceptance rate ranges from 7 - 18% or so depending on school).
I was fortunate to have been granted another interview this year so we will see what happens.
