PockyupNose Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi,I would like some input regarding my situation. So I am applying through Atlantic bridge for 2016.My GPA is 3.65completed a degree in Nursing.Haven't written my MCAT yet.My EC: nurse in acute neurosurgery, and ortho floor, Pediatric complex care rehab, bariatric surgical clinic, IV team in a dental clinic. Co-founder of a NPO/Charity that involves international experience and health. Volunteered at a doctors office and overseas in an environmental group. PSW for 3 years during my nursing degree.I have or will be getting an EU passport along with my Portuguese citizenship.I'm not really sure if my stats are competitive for Ireland. Should I write the MCAT? AB stated that there are three schools in Ireland that take student without MCAT stats but are 5 year program. The issue with writing the MCAT is that the nursing program that I completed, didn't allow me to take any prereqs of chem, physics, biochem, etc. It would be new learning for me and I only have 5-6 months left to study for it. Is it enough time?I am also not sure how competitive the 5 year program are. Anyone have any idea?I'm just feeling very nervous.Any input would be appreciated. thanks.

flatjacks Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Although I can't really comment on the competitiveness of your application, I think given that you will have an EU passport, if you get accepted to Ireland its a solid option because you will be guaranteed a residency position in Ireland after med school there.
