Hi,
I'm a Canadian studying at McGill right now. I just heard that I have been accepted into all three Irish Medical schools:Royal College of Surgeons, UCD, and Trinity. However,I'm having a very, very difficult time deciding which offer to accept. I've heard mixed reviews about each of the schools. I'm sitting at a crossroads right now, completely lost. I have to accept an offer soon becase RCSI deposit is due by March 16th. The main reason I'm thinking of turning down RCSI is because of the high tuition in comparison to UCD and Trinity. I've heard RCSI better catered for International students in comparison to the other two... but I just don't know. The Atlantic Bridge correspondent suggested UCD, somebody else told me Trinity was an excellent school by reputation, while others have told me going to RCSI will offer me the best shot at getting back into a North American hospital.... PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!

btw for anyone randomly reading this message for info on Irish medical schools... I'm graduating with a B.Sc Major in Microbiology and Immunology with a minor in Economics from Mcgill... GPA 3.5, MCAT 35..... interview was in NY at the Sheraton on Feb 14th, 2001... Interview was very laid back...interview by Alan Johnson(Dean) and Dr. Windsor(associate Dean)... very friendly people... felt like a conversation... didn't feel as if I was even being asked any questions... they told me they would get back to me in 2-3 weeks... I heard on March 7th from RCSI, 9th from Trinity and Dublin is in the mail.... feel free to ask me any questions...
