I am applying for the GEM.
I am. I've had 4 interviews but haven't been accepted yet. I'm considering Atlantic Bridge but I think I'll wait until next year to expand to DO and international if I need to. I just want to maximize my chance of residency placement and it seems US MD is the best way to do that.
This was how it worked last year, evidently its different this year!
Yeah I mean your stats are really good if I were you I wouldn't go international just yet. Keep in mind DO is preferable to abroad for residency purposes. Your scores seem competitive for MD and like a sure thing for D.O., even if you applied to places that are late in the cycle but still accepting applicants (off the top of my head Touro N.Y.).
... is this GEM? and is your interview via skype or in person? And are you Canadian or American?

I really hope you also applied to Canadian medical schools and US medical schools.... You are very likely to get in to UCD and RCSI judging from those stats. Are your a 4th year applicant?

+1 I am also Canadian no word yet ... I think its toooo early to start worrying
Not at all!
US Student, 30 MCAT, 3.9 sGPA, 3.78 GPA
Great stats, do you mind sharing which schools you applied for? 4 yrs graduate entry only or you included 5 yrs as well?
Given that this round is my third time applying to medical school, I figured it best to cover my bases and apply to all of the schools haha.

with this stat, you would get into US MD. did you apply US MD?
Congrats! And good luck! Would you mind sharing your stats?
Yup :C
This is my third year applying. Not slacking in the experiences and ECs either.
🙁( when did you get the email?
Not great stats. GPA around 3.0 but 3.8ish for last two years. 514 MCAT.

Just a few hours ago!
Thanks! That eases my anxiety a bit. I won't freak yet!
I think based on those stats you have a good chance. My stats are basically the same. I have a few friends who got in to RCSI with a 28 MCAT and a mediocre GPA, so I think with a strong GPA, grad school and strong ECs, it's a competitive application. Main thing about Irish schools is they are much more holistic in how they view applicants.
Thaaaanks!!
yeah, I am going for the 4 year program, I have a masters and an MCAT score 😀
I think they have already started accepting people: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/rcsi-bahrain-2016.1182210/

3.2 undergrad
3.3 masters (Georgetown SMP)
500+ hrs community service in clinical setting

Did I miss something?
I haven't heard back from UCD yet, although my interviewer said "you'll hear from us in a couple weeks."
I'm trying not to put too much thought into it and roll with whatever happens.
I'm Canadian interviewing on March 1st for RCSI's GEP.
