Am doing the organic chem stuff at the moment , do you need detail on alkenes - their reaction - halogenation , conversions to functional groups etc, as well as the rest ? OR is it just general stuff ?

:eek:

Anyone now where you can get Essays that will get you into medical school by Dowhan ? Easons have the ebook , but staring at laptop screen fr more than 5 hours will drive me nuts- want it in paperback ?

Hi guys!
Just learned about the possibility to do medschool today - literally just read it somewhere whilst surfing the web - and well, landed here... )

Anyways, I am graduating next September in a BSc Hons in Nursing, with all going well it should be at least a 2.1 if not better...

I was always kinda dreaming about being able to study medicine, but always thought that would be out of reach for me??! Soooo...

Where can I get some examples for all the GAMSAT sections, just to get a rough overview what to expect?
How do you all fund this - its thousands of euros??! I mean, its probably not really helpful that I am currently a student (financially I mean), but even when working...
Does the selection process work the same way as the CAO process?
Do you think I would have a good base with my current Nursing degree - for studying medicine itself as well as to sit the GAMSAT? To be honest, I don't have much clue about chemistry, physics etc. - we only barely touched on some biochem in first year, but that's about it!
Is it difficult to get funding from a bank / loans etc.?
All these questions... sorry for overwhelming ye! :P

Cheers! Greez from Kerry

Hey,

I'm a nurse just graduated from UL. I was 10 points short for Med back in the day so i have been working towards this entry method for the past couple of years. Basically the Nursing course will give you a good head start in some areas and especially if you get into med school because we have most of the clinical stuff covered. But the science modules in nursing are only the tip of the iceberg regarding what comes up on the Gamsat. To be honest i was and still am a bit overwhelmed by the amount od science needed for this thing...and we had a crash course in science in 1st year. but once you get stuck into it you'll be fine! just keep the head down and get the 2.1, then focus on the GAMSAT.

As for getting a loan, it seems to have become the defining characteristic if one is to get into med school or not. Up until last year it seemed handy enough to get the money but this year pople are having a pure nightmare with the banks. A lot of people i know cant get the loan despite having got an offer from the colleges.

Hope thats of some help.

Thanks!

Can you explain what 'Round 0' is?

Also, why doesn't RCSI list a Round 2 GAMSAT score? Does that mean there was no second round last year?

Thanks Again!

Round 0 is the name of the round of offers that CAO sends out in early AUuust and in which the Graduate Medicine Offers are issued.

No points in round 2 means no offers in round 2.
