Advice please!

Hey everyone,

I already posted a while ago about the new 4-year medicine in UCD.

But, I have a few more questions (sorry )

I'm bright enough (i hope) but by no means a genius.
My Junior Cert Results were grand (4 A's-maths, english, irish, CSPE, 6 B's- Science, Spanish, Geog, History, Religion, Home Ec, and 1 C- French)

I know I could have done better in some but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, I really want to do Medicine and have done work experience in Temple Street, attented a clinical day seminar in vincents, and talked to consultants and nurses.

But the fact is, I can almost bet I won't get the points. There's not a chance in hell I can get 580+.

What are all my options for getting into Med School, and is there any people here studying medicine who could tell me more about it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do it in the UK?

Apply to the uk, especially in Scotland. So you need to fill out a UCAS form.
do your best in the leaving cert anyway.
Graduate entry.

You could look in to some of the English language medicine degrees in the EU states in Eastern Europe - I remember reading about them a few months ago in the Times, and while they seem fairly expensive, it was implied that the entry level was lower than in the UK. Charles University in Prague is very prestigious, and offers one, and the Semmelweis University in Budapest seems to specialise in that area - you could probably find more.

The definition of cheap is a little odd, but I suppose it wouldn't be much cheaper at graduate entry.

Thanks a million. I'll have a look at those now
