Hi all,
So I've posted this thread in the Caribbean subforum of SDN - I figure I may as well also try posting here to see if I get some responses providing more information about Ireland. Other users have also gently pointed me towards the UK...I'm currently reading into this as well, though if anybody has some insight on this that would be greatly appreciated.
After three unsuccessful applications with Canadian schools, I am seriously studying internationally to pursue medicine. I have applied to the US, Caribbean, and Ireland so far this year. I am not holding my breath for the US (have yet to year anything positive, so I doubt I will hear anything this late in the game).
I am honoured to have received offers from SGU in Grenada and Ross so far in Dominica. I am waiting on hearing back from the Atlantic Bridge about Ireland. What my question to you all here is, how do you choose between Ireland and the Caribbean?
It seems SGU is basically the best of the Caribbean schools, while RCSI and UCD are one of the best in Ireland. What are the pros/cons of each? Is it better to go to SGU because the clerkship years are conducted in the US/Canada? (whereas in Ireland all 4 years are in Dublin/Limerick/Cork).
I would really appreciate any thoughts or input that any of you may have!
Thanks!
