There was a discrepancy in my credit card balance. I called my bank yesterday night and they told me I got charged by ABP earlier that day (March 14, 2012 Canada). I wonder if it's good or bad news. I applied to NUIG, TCD, RCSI. I e-mailed ABP yesterday about my application status but they replied today "No news for you as of today. You would receive news via the mail." I have mixed feelings.
Stats of Applicants to Irish schools and Acceptance, Waitlist or Rejection
- Thread starter leorl
- Start date
Doubt your major will be of much impact. If they do have a preference towards science majors, it would only hurt you in a situation where your grades were borderline to offer acceptance/interviews. Yours seem to be high enough that the above is a non-issue. Not sure about school ranking, however, I do believe the same thing stands, and would only hurt you if your stats were already low.
You can still call ABP and query them, not sure how much info they'll give out. Try not to stress too much, all you can do is wait.
$33 or so? FedEx packages from ABP seem to run that amount for Canadians (give or take a few cents), and are always good news. They don't FedEx bad news.
Anyone know if ABP would tell you about your application status via e-mail (accepted or rejected)? It seemed like they know what's in the mail but they don't want to tell me over the e-mail so I have to wait for the mail they sent out yesterday. I hope they are not FEDEX-ing a rejection mail!
Yeah it's 33$. They dont FEDEX bad news so how do I get bad news? Direct via email?
Congratulations Relia!!!
Plain letters or e-mails is what people have said from previous years. If you've been FedEx'd something it should be good.
Congrats! Goodluck to all the Americans and West Coasters still waiting!

Hello blazers,
I have a close friend here in Seattle that also applied to the five-year programme. She's a non-science major, as well, and Mr. Nealon and Mr. O'Keeffe said her chances were strong when she spoke with them back in October. Well, she was granted an offer from RCSI's five-year undergraduate med. programme last weekend, too, and will be attending. I won't post her stats here without her consent but hers are similar to yours and she's a US citizen.
When is the due date for the deposit?

It certainly wouldn't hurt to call. Have you ever spoken with the ABP staff? They're super nice and Mr. Nealon will pretty much tell you what's up and discuss the strengths / weaknesses of your app. I've called RCSI directly and they're pretty nice, too.
Congrats!!
How did you hear so fast from the six year program? Because people earlier on the thread said that the six year acceptances were just going to be sent out on Friday (which is today).
Either way, your stats are oustanding! Congratulations!!
Also, out of curiousity, is your offer conditional on certain marks?
I think you would have to call Atlantic Bridge since they'd probably know the answer better.
I'm sure it's fine to call now. But that's just my opinion.
Trinity is an incredible school... I'm in love with their library haha.

i really applied late. my app was complete end of january. now im finding out maybe based on other sdn posts they wont have second round of interviews for rcsi? is that true? doesnt rcsi always have 2 rounds of interviews? when I called abp, they said there will be a second round I believe.
I go to a school in Mississauga
Wow thank you so much for your suggestion, just called them and they said a package was coming to me from Newport Beach, CA 😀 😀 😀.
Hopefully its not a rejection 😛
Rejections don't come via Fedex. Grab a Guinness! (if you are of age)
They said the package should arrive within Saturday (St. Patricks Day) This must be planned ahah

It should be next week according to previous years. People got accepted on March 19th last year.
