same here.

Same over on my end. Got it yesterday in the mailbox. I'm feeling pessimistic at this point about the other schools. Don't suppose you guys have heard from UCD/UCC/etc lately?

ABP wrote to me yesterday saying the offers for UCD have not gone out yet and should be going out within the next two weeks....best honestly, I heard that a fews back so....I don't really know 🙂


Something will happen in the near future tho, stay positive.

 

[Moose88]

Maybe UCC and UCD were waiting for GAMSAT people to get there results so they could look at the full applicant pool. No one has written anything about UCC for ages... I still have no RCSI rejection but interview invites have gone out so I am not sure how that works...assume its because of not having my score in yet. Hopefully before June we know sort of whats going on. Or now....

 

[Moose88]

Kermicrzy- PM you. The wait is the WORST

Thats fantastic news! So jealous, the Irish GAMSAT scores havent come out yet so fingers crossed I get at least 60. Most schools will accept people in 75 percentile.

I had no choice but to take the GAMSAT since I was stuck in Ireland finishing the PhD (Ignore my info where it says Medical/PhD, they had no option for PhD alone of PhD/pre-medical )

Im in same boat as you since they have been holding my applications waiting for GAMSAT score and each day seems longer than the next! Hopefully they will be out by Friday 🙄

Congrats again, thats some achievement since post people have to take it 3+ times to get such great marks.

Thanks Atran. And ya I'm beginning to feel the Irish translation of two weeks is two months. Probably going to occupy my time with other things (i.e. lots of spending 😛) so I don't feel the wait.

Gl Moose and grats on that score.

 

[Milo19]

That's awesome Moose88!

Lbgem, I hear ya! I've been told "two weeks" since April. I am hoping (crossing my fingers) that we find out something by June or mid June.

And those who got rejected by RCSI, you still have the others.

 

[IamSuperDoctor]

All in all, best of luck to you at RCSI and perhaps i'll see you in the Fall 2011 as a peer.

A.

Such a shame.


good luck with the rest of the schools

really? whos gloating? I am fully supporting atran in his application.

Do you have nothing better to do than troll the internet forums? Why dont you go back to premed101 and troll some more over there. I also made sure to report your post, I hope you enjoy your ban hammer.

Edit -
I knew you were familiar. You are that troll from the NUIG/Trinity Thread. Does this look familiar? http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?p=10840304#post10840304

I wish NUI chose me as an agent to work in their 'atlantic bridge' office in southern california. i'd love to get cruise in sunnier climes with the AMG Merc bought and paid for with all of those applicant fees! i was told over 1200 internationals applied - don't worry, 'you have a good chance' at paying our car leases, lol!

What happened to cause you to start massively posting in all the forums? I can't help but feel like it must be something hurtful if you're lashing out at everyone here...and for that I'm sorry.

Some of us applied to these schools even though it does decrease our chances of coming back home because we had a hard time getting into our own schools, whether it's because of hardship, etc. Others of us want to experience a different country. For me, it was a combo of both. I was a Celtic Studies major in college and I'm going to do the best I can with what I've got.

I am sorry if you didn't get into the school you wanted to, it does suck. If you really want to be a doctor, then you know there's nothing else to do except keep trying til you get there.

I second that! And, also (for all parties involved), these forums are not here to personally offend or make public attacks - that can be arranged via other routes - instead, we log into these forums to mostly stay current in the admin process without bothering the admin on a day-to-day basis. Please be kind since this is an awful and frustrating process for us all.

Rejection letter in the mail from RCSI dated 05/11/2011.

Just FYI.

Ditto.

 

[kermicrzy]

FINALLY got my GAMSAT scores this morning and sent them off to ABP. So fingers crossed that now Moose and I have submitted these, applications will start moving a bit quicker. Have no idea if they were slow in UCD etc because of this or not, but I cant imagine any other reasons for hold ups. Now is the perfect time before they have to start working offers in for Irish and other EU students.

So glad the wait is finally over. Now I can take that crappy average MCAT score I got a few years ago and throw it away... The relief 🙂

 

[NCR11]

Does anyone know anything about the state of waitlisted applicants at Limerick? ex how many, odds of getting an offer?

I'm one of them and am nervously awaiting the news

I know that those offered a position at Limerick had until May 16 to respond to their offer, and more offers were given out than positions available. That being said, I have also spoken to a few people who were given an offer and are rejecting it for whatever reason. I am guessing you should hear back soon. Good luck.

 

[Lbgem]

Snail mail rejection from Limerick and Trinity on Saturday. The letter was from the schools, but the envelope/it was sent by the ABP office (unlike the RCSI one which was directly from the school).

Sorry about that Lbgem!

Let's keep our fingers crossed for SOME news this week. I feel like no one has heard from UCC since March and I am also waiting on UCD and RCSI...anyone have any insight or updates from ABP?

Hang in there Lbgem!

Moose, you might be in round 3 for RCSI, esp since you have not been rejected yet 🙂 (ABP mentioned that there might be a third round)! In terms of UCC, NUIG and UCD, I am still in the dark

 

[jszeresz]

I recently talked to some people at RCSI in person and from what they told me, the GEP class for this year is full. Don't know about the 5 or 6-year programs, but thought that may be helpful to some people still stressing out.

[Moose88]

I hope that is not true! But also if they just had the 2nd round interviews last weekend or this weekend...it would be impossible to know because there still would be offers being extended from that group and then they have 3 weeks to decided. Hate speculating! Hopefully we all know soon.

I can't speak to the EU/Irish spots in the class... but as of Tuesday last week, the lady in admissions said they were hoping people would be rejecting their offers as they had more people than they expected already accepting.

FYI - I received a regret letter dated on May 12/11 from the Uni of Limerick today, May 25/11.

Got that one too. Already accepted a spot at RCSI (GEP) though. Good luck to everyone else waiting!

 

[Moose88]

Thanks for posting about rejections- always helps to know where schools are at.

Anyone heard ANYTHING from UCC or UCD (when is the last time we heard anything about them at all?)...or is anyone else still waiting for RCSI?

...Anyone have any recent updates from ABP?

 

[fieldydwb]

I got my rejection from TCD dated May 11 on May 24th.

I was told that RCSI will let me know my status in the upcoming days and that they sometimes interview by Skype.

That's all the information I got.

It's possible that a lot of the people accepted to these schools aren't on this forum. I heard very little from other people accepted to UCC last year when I was going through all this.

 

[NCR11]

Rejection from Cork as well yesterday. Just UCD and Limerick (waitlisted) left for me.

 

[frank1960]

Got a Limerick rejection yesterday (May 25, 2011) via regular mail. Going to RCSI, turned down UCC, waiting on UCD. All for GEP.

Rejection from UCC via email or regular mail?

Good luck with remaining 2!

It was by mail. A mate of mine got one too a few days ago, so if you haven't got one hopefully it's good news!!

Best of luck

Yeah would be good to hear from some of the people attending UCC on this forum. I was accepted in early march and paid my deposit, still waiting on the other schools though.

 

[SP01]

Please accept my apologies for earlier messages. I have edited them to keep the thread clean. Apologies to 'IamSuperDoctor' for the name calling. I will refrain from such behavior from now on.

Cheers!

I am also curious about UCC. I applied to 4 schools, UCD, RCSI and Limerick and received rejection letters from all of them via snail mail. I'm only waiting for UCC now.

Not sure what the hold up is, my experience with UCC in general after a year of studying here is that they're pretty slow in general.

 

[Milo19]

Received my regrets from Limerick and Corks today

 

[fieldydwb]

Anybody left that has not received regrets/acceptances from RCSI?

what about people that have not received an interview from RCSI and also have not received regrets/acceptances?

 

[Moose88]

Fieldy,

Same boat as you- for GEP. Was also told the thing about skype interviews. Did he say when we should hear?

Sorry Milo, ty for posting. It's weird you got Limerick's today. I got that one a couple weeks ago. Sounds like the rejection letters are slowly trickling out...
