RCSI Ireland 2014 Applicants

Yeah, I called them up. They've finished the first round of interviews :/ this sucks. Did you get an interview?

Oh dear, I guess there are more competitive applicants out there
And Thanks! How was the IB for you?

Yes for 6 yr.

well there is still hope coz there is a second batch of interviews going on, but I think its for the 6 year idk :/
IB was good and horrible at the same time haha I guess I learnt a lot from it

Hi guys, I applied to RCSI for the 5 year program through the Atlantic Bridge Program. I have a predicted grade of 42 in IB so I thought that I'd get an interview but I haven't received anything from them. Has anyone gotten an interview for the 5 year program?

Hey mate you're doing great! What they mean by the first round being over is that they start selecting on basis of who applied first. Had you applied earlier, you'd have been a part of it too. The second round, in which I'll too be considered, is in early April. Am sure you'll be accepted with a grade like that, don't worry.

PS IB is SO friggin depressing for me X(

Good luck to you! I am an rcsi student btw and I got my interview around apr and results in late may. Are you taking a level or ib?

Aww thanks That was very encouraging I hope you get in!

And I know how you feel. The last two years of my life have been consumed by the IB. I can't even remember the last time I had a weekend off... so relieved that it's all coming to an end. However, exams are in 37 days! :O

Hi rainboww2312, if you don't mind me asking, I have my interview sometime next week...do you have any advice or do you remember some of the questions asked?

Thank you!!

I really hope I do. I've let go of UK universities for this. Being lifeless is just so sickening. I was so multi talented...once upon a time :/

what are your subjects btw?

Hey there. Just wanted to say that there is a site named studentdoctor.net in which people have discussed about their interviews at RCSI. Importantly prepare answers for why medicine, why RCSI, how will you afford and why should they choose you instead of the 40 others sitting right out the door.

Good luck with it and do share about it here XD

I'm taking HL Biology, HL Chemistry, HL English Lit, SL Maths, SL Economics and SL French. You?

Thank you! I just wanna confirm if they asked any ethical questions or anything to do with euthanasia/abortion? My interview will be a video interview and i have only 60sec-90sec to answer :/

Bio HL, Chem HL, English HL, Maths SL, Business and management of ass SL, Arabic Ab, Hindi SL, 7 subjects.

What resources are you using for Bio and Chem? Bioninja is pretty useful

I GOT AN INTERVIEW, ON 8th! AARGHHHHH PEOPLE DID I MENTION I GOT AN INTERVIEW?!
