[blazers]

I am applying to the 5 year program at RCSI and Trinity College.

Stats:
US Citizen
Graduated with a B.S.
Nonscience Major but have done all the required math/science/english premedical courses (biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, physiology, calculus, statistics)
GPA: Overall: 3.92, Science: 3.75
Publication in a Major Medical Journal
Excellent Letters of Recommendation
Various EC's both medically and nonmedically related.

My application was regarded as "complete" and ready for review by ABP on January 31st, 2012. I see interviews are all ready sent out for RCSI, and was wondering if I still have a chance at getting an interview because my application was complete so late? Should I contact ABP and ask them about if I am still eligible for possibly receiving an interview offer?

This is my first time applying to medical schools, and wanted to know how these stats fare in terms of competitiveness for admission into RCSI or Trinity?

Thank you all.

What did you get on the mcat? Why don't you try getting into US med schools with this kind of GPA?

I have not taken the MCAT yet, and the 5 year program does not need MCAT. I thought about applying to US MD schools, but I am actually also an EU citizen being born in an EU country, and would be very open to practicing medicine in Europe or the UK. In that sense, the Irish medical schools would be a better option as compared to US schools.

 

[AR2012]

Does anybody know the average stats that irish schools accept?

what do you all think? starting to get nervous since people have all ready received interviews? is the problem that my application was submitted late?

Don't spam post on both threads. It is not needed. Your GPA is really good but you might miss out on the first round because you applied late. If you look through this thread you will see that your GPA is not a problem. However, with your stats it might make more sense to do the MCAT, get a 30+ and apply to American schools.

I want to possibly practice medicine in Europe being also an EU citizen, and no better school that RCSI for that.

So there are second round interviews also? Are the chances slim of acceptance if interviewing in the second round? When do you think second round interviewees come to know if they have been selected for an interview?

The second round is in April. The odds of acceptance after an interview is about 50%. Its the waiting game and we all get to play it together.

is there def going to be a second round in April because all I received from them after getting the application complete email was a FAQs document which stated that interviews will be held in March. Nowhere was it mentioned about April?

Is the April thing a fact or just hear say?

If you look through this thread you will find ample proof from last year. It is real, it is not merely a myth. Although there is some possibility that it is different for the 5 year program I suppose.

when you recieved your application complete email, did they send you an FAQ's also? If so, did it say in that the interviews would be in march or did they also mention april? in mine all they mentioned was that interviews are tentatively in march

 

[S0B]

I would just like to mention that time of application completion plays little to no role in when you receive your interview (As long as you met the January deadline). But rather, the qualifications of the individual, passion for medicine and overall achievement of requirements.

My application was marked as complete Early in January and I received a first round interview Late January (Roughly 3 weeks after my application was complete).

Either way, good luck to all applicants, and don't be worried if you don't hear for a while, its rolling admission usually based on your geographic area.

I think with my stats I am competitive to get am interview. But my application was complete on Jan 31st. I just couldnt meet the Jan 15th deadline. Have I automatically been put in the second round applicant pool because I applied late? I really dont want to become the annoying applicant, but I am tempted to call them and ask when I would hear if selected for an interview? I am on the east coast, and it looks like the east coast people all ready heard if they have been selected for an interview. Is there a second round of interviews for east coast people also?

I am a grade 12 Canadian high school student, applied with an average of about 91-92% (Equates to about 4.0 GPA). Several extracurricular/ work and volunteer experiences.

Solid references from a licensed Canadian medical doctor and head of student services at my school.

Also do not worry about bothering them, I probably sent them 30+ emails before I finally sent in my application haha. And yes, they do rolling admission, dont worry if you do not hear for a while, they consider each applicant fairly and if your stats a competitively, there is no reason you should not get an interview.

haha yea i sent them quite a few emails myself before sending in my application. i emailed them this past weekend after i got an email from them on jan 31st saying my app was complete, asking them if i am selected for an interview when would i come to know. i havent got a response back from them yet and if i dont hear back from them by friday i was planning on calling them. but i just dont want them to be annoyed by me is my biggest hesitation

They give you 1 month notice (I got the notice on January 31st) They also give you the choice of multiple days and times (Based on first come first serve basis). They give you enough time for travel, arrangements and such.

Also I thought that too, but if you think of it, it is their job and we want to be as informed as possible before we decide to spend upwards of $40,000 per year at their school. And just remember to be as polite and compelling as possible and occasionally add in "Thank you greatly for your time", "Your help is greatly appreciated", etc.

 

[mcrickm]

Just got my paper application returned to me in the mail for insufficient postage. Really disappointing that they sent it back to me because I was short 24 cents.... In the end its my own own fault and now its going to be in JUST before the late deadline. Needless to say, this time I couriered it!

 

[Prc2006]

Blazers......Bro. Take a deep breath. Relax for a second.

I have to respectfully disagree with SOB on the subject of timing. If you submit your application the day they begin accepting them, it obviously helps your chances of getting an interview because they can tell you are eager to attend their school and it was a heavily premeditated decision to apply. Yes, if you have amazing scores it may not matter as much, but for someone like me who is a little below the average matriculant on paper, it definitely helped that I submitted my app in early August - because it illustrates that this wasn't simply a last minute decision or a backup plan. I'm sure it isn't that way for you, and that extenuating circumstances led to your application being late - I'm just telling you what it looks like from the perspective of an admissions officer. In the same way, any US Admissions officer will tell you that while they cannot discount from an application that is submitted AT the deadline, they can certainly give praise to those who submit it early.

So please, for all of us...just relax a bit. You can't do anything about it now, so you may as well take solace in the fact that you have a phenomenal GPA. Your application is probably sitting under a pile of papers somewhere, and when they get to it (eventually), I'm sure you'll get a fair shot at an interview like everyone else. Asking the same question 100 times won't illicit a different answer - and if you look through the old posts, you'll find that most of the answers were there to begin with.

No offense, but you clearly do not know how the application process works. If you applied through the Atlantic Bridge Program, the deadline was November 15th, 2011. However, you can still send in documents and other files after this date. Also sending your application early can show the schools that you rushed your application and it was simply something you wanted to get "over with". Also, may I remind you that the Atlantic Bridge Program is merely a middleman for these Irish schools and plays little to no role in the admissions process. The individual school is who decides who is admitted or not.

The Atlantic Bridge Program merely gathers all documents and files and stores them in an online computer database until mid-January 2012 (It's funny, if you applied you should have known that already and received an email from the admissions officer after sending in your application) where they sent them out to the various medical schools. Therefore, regardless of whether you sent in your application in August (As you suggested very frivolously) or January, both are considered the same. Also I am not sure how you obtained the documents for application since the standard documents were sent to applicants in October (Regardless of whether you requested an application or not).

I got the documents for application in August... Watch the arrogant tone, lets stay friendly here.

Please read what I wrote carefully. I did not say anything about rolling admissions, nor did I suggest that our applications were being assessed in August, or September, or anytime before January. I simply suggested that the earlier you apply, the better it looks, assuming you did your best work (which I kind of thought was a given considering you must be at least fairly serious about what you're doing to submit a complete medical school application).

Unless you wrote your application in 30 minutes and in crayon, I don't see how an admissions officer could see an early app as "rushed" or "gotten over with"; as long as you put together a competent and competitive application, turning it in early will never be considered a bad thing. Turning it in after the deadline, however, will be.

You are absolutely correct in saying that the AB is simply a middleman, and has no bearing on the schools' decisions, but the admissions personnel still see the date your application was completed, and this can, and does, have a bearing on the success of your application.

I don't think stats are that important in the grand scheme of things as long as they aren't significantly below average (ex. <3.0 GPA or <24O MCAT). Although higher stats certainly help, your overall application, interview and financial means to pay for the medical education are more important in my opinion as long as your stats are relatively competitive.

Probably do need 3.3+ and 30+ for the most part. If you look through last year people with scores lower than that didn't have much luck it seems.

[5788401]

i have 3.3 GPA undergrad, 31 mcat, + 3.8 GPA for master's, no luck with interview for RCSI, best of luck to those who got one this year!

 

[mcrickm]

5788401, did you get a rejection letter or have you just not been invited so far? I know they seem to do more than one round of interviews so maybe your name will come up in the next round.

 

[AR2012]

When I contacted Trinity directly, they said they need minimum 3.4 cGPA. Has anyone heard of people getting in with a lower gpa?

And does RCSI read the personal statment at all, since they do conduct interviews?

A few questions for anyone who has the knowledge to answer:
(1) This forum seems to draw a disproportionate amount of Canadians - is this reflective of the overall applicant pool?
(2) For obvious reasons the majority of applicants have heavy science/research backgrounds. Based on the AB website there is no indication that one field of study is preferred over another as long as the applicant has demonstrated academic ability (good GPA) and can market themselves as being an asset to the school. How true is this when it comes to the 5 year programs? Thanks all, and best of luck.

1) From what I've seen on previous posts the ratio is approx. 4-5:1 Canadian to American for applicants who accepted an offer. I am not sure about the applicant pool as a whole. I think more Americans reject acceptance letters resulting in less Americans in the various schools.

2) Again from what I've seen from previous posts, the 5 year program seems to rely heavily on GPA (3.70+) since they do not take into account MCAT. Although I'm not sure, having a non-science background may put you at a disadvantage for the 5 year program. At least in the 4 year GEP program all applicants need a competitive MCAT score which shows a sufficient science background. This is not true for the 5 year program. This is mostly speculation so don't be discouraged and good luck with your application.

Do you think the 5 year programs take MCAT into account if you have done it?

 

[Alexander III]

I honestly don't know but, I think its likely. If they didn't than someone with a 3.5-3.6 GPA and a 30+ MCAT score would be competitive for the 4 year program and not the 5 year program which doesn't make a lot of sense. I would hope that they look at the entire application before sending out interview invitations.

Apologies for prior tangents. Just wanted to clarify my previous statement. Consider the matter put to rest.

I'm in a similar boat - I'm applying to a mix of 4 and 5 year programs but my GPA and MCAT are 50th percentile (3.4, 27), so unfortunately on paper I don't suppose I'm "favored" for either of them. Luckily I'm a strong writer and I have a very well rounded application in terms of research experience, athletics/extracurriculars and community service. I also grew up in Jamaica so they might appreciate the fact that I'm 'worldy', but then again I might be splitting hairs there. I suppose all I can do is nail the interview and hope for the best.

As for US vs. Canadian, do you think it helps to be applying from the US, or are all North American applicants grouped together? The US pool is quite obviously smaller.

I would suspect that they would group us together. It would only be fair to put us on an equal playing field regardless of numbers. Being an American should not be treated as a URM lol. There are also usually some applicants from the Middle East and Asia I believe.

There are some from Middle East and Asia, but really not that many, or at least not that many are accepted/come here. My class has 1 from South Africa, 1 from the middle east, and 1 from Malaysia if I remember correctly. (Speaking from the UCD 4 year GEP perspective. There's a thing going on with the 6 year program where there's quite a bit of Malaysians that study for a few years here and then go back to do their clinicals in their home country)

Anyone gotten any updates about when we should be hearing from RCSI interviews, etc? I know UCC has usually sent out acceptances so that they are received right before RCSI's...so that could be any day I assume? Or seen any credit card charges?
