Hello, I just recently discovered this site and it is excellent. I love reading the insights from future medical students and current medical students.
I'd like to give a little background on myself before I ask my questions. I'm 19 years of age and entering my third year of university attempting to complete a 4-year bachelor of science degree. I am thinking of writing the mcat next summer however I would like to attempt to get into the 6-year medical program in Ireland after my 3rd year of university instead of finishing my 4-year science degree.
I was just wanting to know which schools in Ireland I could apply for to try and get into the 6-year program. Is it just Trinity or can I also apply to UCD and RCSI? I'm also wondering if I have to write the mcat for the 6-year degree at any of these schools.
I also read on a site that if you are attempting to get into a 6-year program that all you need is to be a gratuate from highschool. However I believe that since i've been in university for 2 years that this could be to my advantage. I guess i would like to know if i could work this fact in when i'm applying for these schools. My GPA in university is quite good however my marks in highschool were not the best (too much partying)!
Thanks for any help that you may be able to give me!
