Does anyone know if we have to have taken 4 a levels to be considered competitive for medicine entry?

All universities require an interview if you're international. The deadline for applying is January 15th, so the IUMC send off all the applications together after that, so you'll probably hear back from the IUMC after January.

Application submitted before January but completed on Jan 13th and I got an interview from NUIG today. Interview is Feb 21. Although this seems to be impossible, but if you guys got offers from both NUIG and RCSI, which one would you go to? Someone told me NUIG gives discounted tuition fee to every international student so that's an advantage (like original 51000EU --> 39000EU). But what I need is a better job opportunity so I really don't know. The only thing I know about Galway is the song Galway Girl

Congratulations! Pretty sure both of them would offer the same job opportunities after graduation. If you don't mind, could you please let me know what grades did you get and at what position did you put NUIG at?

First of course. My second is Cork. My third is TCD and didn't apply to UCD because IUMC says only ASEAN countries can apply through IUMC to UCD. TCD is my last preference because I know I won't be accepted to TCD, but add one school cost no extra so I did it. I'm a current undergraduate at USYD (2nd year). My high school was done in China and average grade 90+%. My GPA in USYD is about 75+%, which is distinction in USYD or 2:1 in UK system. I like Galway because of its 8-year intercalated PhD, however I can still do PhD after RCSI, and go to a top PhD program in Europe after undergraduate (dream school ETH). Also Galway Girl gives me a good impression on the city. I'm from the crowded metropolis of China (6M people but still considered a "small" city :frown:

) so I prefer to study in a tranquil city.
