    Hi everyone. I've been lurking for awhile and meant to post so many times and just got really busy. So after interviews with NUIG, RCSI and UCD I am FINALLY going in to medicine! So unbelievably excited but absolutely terrified at the prospect of it.

    Looking forward to meeting some of you RCSI people in a few months!

    And for those unsuccessful this year, DO NOT GIVE UP! I have interviewed at every medical school over the past 3 years so get feedback, fill in the gaps and apply again if you're hell bent on medicine.


    HI ya :) How did UCD work it out, I'm doing a MPH in UCD, and applied to the Mature entry route for medicine, when or did they even let you know about interviews?

    Just after HPAT so hoping I did well, how did you do in your HPAT, are they really that HPAT orientated?

    Thanks again:):)

    Hi all,
    I was just wondering if any of 2016's mature entry med applicants could throw some light on funding for the 5 year course? If I get in (a very big if!), it will be my second degree. Are mature entry applicants eligible for bank loans that GEM applicants are eligible for? Or anything similar? How is everyone funding medicine as a second degree?

    Hey this is probably a late reply to your question!
    I started mature med in 2016.
    You are elible for the BOI GEM loan. (The €15k each year for four years). That means you have to fund one year yourself. It also means that you have to pay the balance each year of about €1k.
    I'm in RCSI and that's how t works there. Might be different to other colleges whose tuition fees are slightly cheaper!

    Thanks for the reply nairy hipples!! If I hadn't had such a shocker of a hpat, that would be great news. Unfortunately I don't think financing medicine is going to be an issue for me this year! Sights already set on 2018!

    Interesting, would people mind sharing their scores?

    Any change in the general percentile ranges?

    Most wont be willing to share on here, mature percentiles are different from the general application pool regardless.

    Hey All,

    Anyone with any specifics of questions asked in the RCSI interview care to share?

    I have heard there are some related specifically to the HSE ect so would love to hear from someone who might have been through the process previously.

    Thanks
