HopefulDentalStudent Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Hi everyone, I wanted to start a thread for those applying to Irish dental schools for the 2023 intake. Feel free to post any general questions, information about acceptances/rejections, and the application process. Good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuqi23 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Does anyone know if it's too late to apply in the next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can apply until mid Feb, I’m not sure exactly what the cutoff date is. That being said, you won’t be considered for a first round offer unless all your documents are submitted by mid Jan.

HopefulDentalStudent Posted January 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Do you guys think first round offers will be early this year? It seems like from past years forums they usually come out late Feb/early March. Except in 2020, they came out at the beginning of Feb. But since they cancelled the 4-year program at UCC perhaps it could take them less time to assess us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with UCC doing interviews now I would think it might take longer but I have no idea what their process is going to look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I submitted my application they stated that UCC and TCD don't interview, and i never received an email about this update afterwards... How did you find out about the interviews?

PreDentalEm Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 The email I received when I completed my application said UCC is doing interviews and the website also says it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iflosstosavelives Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 I submitted everything in early September and was also told there would be no interviews at UCC. I emailed my rep last week and she confirmed things recently changed! Prepare for an interview. HopefulDentalStudent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iflosstosavelives Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 @Hab34 Here is the Discord (mostly Canadian applicants). https://discord.gg/yXqmfXWH I just confirmed with my AB rep but I had to reach out to her. Kind of a bummer but I am still hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentallover23 Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Hey everyone! I recently received an interview for UCC’s dental program. I was just wondering if anyone else has been offered an interview or if anyone has any tips on how to prepare? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know of a couple others who have received and interview so won’t be much help with that. Just wondering if you can share when you received your invite and what your stats are or what your application was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanieh Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I submitted all my documents on Dec 7 , but have not received any thing from UCC as they announced their first offers. Does that mean I was not successful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreDentalEm Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 If you didn’t have an interview then you wouldn’t get an offer. Second round of interviews, if there is any, will likely go out in a months time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpmeimlost.2 Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Does anyone know the answer to these questions I have? Also do you guys know where I can find more information about the application process other than the atlantic bridge website? 1- Do Irish schools consider courses taken in the summer as equivalent to courses taken during the rest of the year? 2- Do Irish schools place preference on full time students compared to part time students? 3- Is it “bad” if I apply once and don’t get in and apply again? Does it reduce my chances of getting in after receiving one rejection? 4- If I want to specialize after the 5 years at dental school, where can I continue my studies?
