Admission Qs

[Zedd]

Lately I have been looking at the Irish universities as an option for my 2010 application and while the sites and the documents supplied are helpful I still have questions (which admissions apparently don't feel like answering).

I've noticed that the trend is that Scottish applicants should have five highers and three advanced highers. My questions are- Would I still be considered for application if I were only to have three highers and three advanced highers?

Also, what grades (if 3 H and 3 AH were taken) would be required to meet the 480 minimum requirement? It might be worth noting that I will probably be shooting for one of the six year courses.

One last quick question, I keep hearing mixed (but mainly negative) feedback about the Irish med schools. Is there any source of reliable information already out there on this?

Cheers folk.
