    Ok so I'm expecting an offer of medicine on Monday morning in NUIG with my combined score of 749 from the LC and the HPAT. My question is would I be better off doing pre-med or going straight into 1st med? I got A1s in Physics and Chemistry but didn't do Biology for my LC. Would I be at a major disadvantage without a backround in biology if I were to choose the 5 year course? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!:o

    No.

    Either way you'll probably have very little say in the matter, I'd imagine they'll throw you straight into 1st med.

    Do pre-med. It might be a year that you find easier. Use it as an opportunity to learn other skills in societies/clubs. Don't wish your life away and don't waste the time either.
