What would an american student need to do to go to undergraduate med school in the UK or Ireland

What would an american student need to do to go to undergraduate med school in the UK or Ireland?
I am Irish but grew up in the states. My family has been planning for me to go to university in ireland or the UK. I want to go to medical school fresh from high school. I can take a year or two off if need be. I have no A levels. I have taken an honors biology class and I can take extra university level science courses. How do I make up for my lack of A levels in science? Is it ok if I do not have them? If you have any other advice I would be glad to hear it too. Thanks I can get a certificate in nursing, biology, or operating room technology before I go. Could that work instead?

Have a look here, its the most prestigious Uni in Ireland, a Medical degree from Trinity really is something. http://www.tcd.ie/

For medicine in the UK you willl need 7 AP classes. Or you could apply to a uni that has a foundation year (they are rare for medicine but do exist) that will bridge the gap between american HS and A Level knowledge. No idea on Ireland though.

there fine, and really easy, and dont really mean anything. relax. things dont start to matter till gcse. sats dont even matter.
4 :
yeah they arent bad at all. and it's not like theyre really important! so don't stress! ha i have my GCSE's in a few weeks! trust me u'll have more than enough to worry about when you get to year 10/11 so just relax dont worry. Good luck! im sure you'll do fine. xxxxx

err theyre only easy if you revise for them and you understand it all. concentrate on maths and languages because theyre the hardest ones. also, english and science are important ones too as you may be setted in these. good luck :)

For a start you shouldn't be too worried about year 8 exams - they are not SATS and not GCSE's. But do some revision and most of what you have learnt will come back to you. If it's really stressing you, just think of the tests as a test to see how well the teachers are doing, and not you. But as a general statement, they aren't too tricky - sure you have to think about some of the questions for a bit, but honestly don't worry about them - I'm in year 9 just so you know I'm giving you an answer as someone who's experienced them. :D

Yes, if you put in the effort. Just a couple of hours revision here and there will really pay off. You'll get a warm fuzzy feeling inside when you get your results back and you know you got the best you can get. Don't stress out about it, you'll be fine. I have my GCSEs soon - I really wish I was in year 8 again!
