RCSI 2022 Questions

I got accepted for the 5-year program. I would suggest calling them as I know this is a busy time and you probably have other unis to respond to as well. They won't give you a decision on the phone, but you'll get a time at least and hopefully. that should put things into perspective

Yo congrats bro. I might do that by next saturday but I'm just worried it'll hurt my application. Also, did you do ur interview on sonru?

Congrats!!! I want to ask did u get waitlisted before getting an offer? How long did u get the offer after u called them?

Thank you! I wasn't placed on a waitlist, I completed the interview at the end of March and received a letter of acceptance by the third week of April, so I was waiting roughly 21-23 days. It can be pretty nerve-wracking as they don't give an exact date, but if you're waiting then I hope everything goes well!

Hopefully cuz I really want to go to rcsi. You probably did excellent in the interview, fyi I got the waitlist letter 3 weeks after the interview. But it seems like getting waitlisted = rejection, I don’t really think I have any chance to get an offer.

just emailed them it's been over 30 days and the waiting just getting too much

Interview completed. The interview was controlled for exactly 20 min. I think they received a lot of applications this year so the interview will all be in 20 min. The questions are very common, like Why RCSI, Why Ireland, Your interested medical specialty and which country to work in the future. There are also questions about my resume and personal statement. But since it was very short, the interview didn't have any tricky question. I think the most tricky question is "what can you bring to RCSI" and I prepared well for that. However, I don't know my chance and the feedback will be after 4 weeks. As I'm currently a medical science undergraduate in Australia, I'll keep preparing for GAMSAT and apply for the GEM in case I'm rejected from the UEM.
I thought I would receive an offer soon after interview so I could discontinue my course in USYD before the semester starts (Feb 21). But since the application number is huge, I might start my semester and then decide to discontinue or not.

I think the application to medicine increased a lot because of COVID-19 so I really don't know my chance.
