<p>OP - Assuming you are junior now - you may want to do some research and you have about 5 months to get there since their application deadlines are October 15th. UK and parts of Ireland are part of what is known as UCAS process where they allow you to apply to 5 colleges for a single major or 5 majors in a single college (or a combination). I was asking a British person just now if Ireland is part of UCAS application and the answer was parts of it but parts of Northern Ireland are considered an Independent country.</p>
<p>Belfast maybe - Belfast is part of UK
Dublin / Cork is a different country = Rep of Ireland</p>
<p>I have heard lectures on UCAS process but dont know much about a separate process for Ireland. </p>
<p>One thing I know about UCAS - they have a very restricted number of seats for medicine for foreigners (10%). In discussions with a rep from University of Edinborough, I found that there was a single person admitted last year from North America and he was from Canada (out of 16 or 20 seats). They have a lot of competition from Asian countries vying for these seats although the fees are as high or even higher than private medical schools in US.</p>
