w55 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 It might be a bit early but I thought it could be a good idea to start a thread for those applying for the Irish Schools - 2020. We should be hearing from them between mid-February and beginning of March. Let's use this thread to ask questions and share information regarding acceptance/rejection. Good luck everybody!!! dentalkardash, Viola and ThatCanadian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think they sent out offers this early. Does that mean first round offers are already sent out to AB applicants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariman1020 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hey guys, I just got accepted to the 4 year at UCC! I was wondering if anyone had an answer to a question I had. I heard from someone that if you go to Ireland you are not able to specialize further when returning to Canada. I was been trying to find an answer to this but haven't found much. Any info you guys know I would appreciate so much to hear!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why Canadians graduating from Irish schools would not be able to specialize when they return to Canada. and congrats on your acceptance. Did you hear it from your admission officer directly? If yes, do you remember his/her name? thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariman1020 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 33 minutes ago, lukeghouti said: Congrats on your offer! I spoke to a dentist who actually went to UCC. He went there before they offered the 4 year program. I asked him all sorts of questions about coming back here and he said that you’re able to specialize like any other Canadian grad; the only caveat is that you’re not able to go to the US and specialize. Also, I asked if there was any bias when it came to hiring foreign trained dentists, he said not at all. In fact, dental offices prefer Irish grads because of the extensive clinical component that’s included in their curriculum. Besides all of that, do you know if there’s a Facebook group for those accepted? Thank you so much for your reply!! This information was so helpful! I am so happy to hear that! I havent seen or heard anything about a facebook group for those accepted! If I find one I will let you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w55 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Has anyone got in contact with AB regarding first round of offers? Really weird that they sent out a list so early and only two people on this forum heard anything? It gotta be more people on the list if it was actually the first round of offers.

Yes I emailed Celina to inquire, and she said "UCC's GED program sent out their first round offers last week". According to her, the second round offers are now being assessed, and are expected to be sent out early next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is little no none movement in this year’s forum. Last year’s there were at least 15 people accepted on the first round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She told me I wasn't assessed for first round offers because they didn't receive one of my forms until after the 1st of January. I was also expecting more people to be announcing their invites!
