UL or UCC for GEM as a NSB?

MrIwoJima

Hello guys.

I’m just wondering could anyone provide me with some wisdom! I’m a non science backgrounder and I’m trying to decide where to do grad med. My GAMSAT score means that I (should hopefully!) have a chance at getting admitted into UCD or RCSI but I’m trying to decide what college to place next.

I’d really appreciate if someone could provide me with some info as to the general pros and cons of UL vs UCC, I have read loads about this but there isn’t much advice out there that’s specific to non science backgrounders.

More specific questions would be;

As a non science backgrounder, is there a tangible difference between didactic teaching vs PBL?
Is Limerick very focused on training GP’s and is it a disadvantage for someone not planning on being a GP?
Is the lack of access to cadavers in Limerick a big deal in terms of training?

Is there a more welcoming social life in one college over the other?

Thanks a million for your help and wishing you all the best if you’re applying for 2020!

You should post this in another forum. I'm not sure where but a mod could help.
