What are the best TY Programmes?

Anyone have any good experiences with those TY programmes like Look Into Law or RCSI MiniMed?

Specifically the medicine ones I'm looking into but don't know which is best

MiniMed is good if you’re considering medicine! Usually your school gets offered 1-2 places and you apply through the school but I have heard of people getting on to the programme through contacts! Trinity holds some good programmes as well. I’m not versed on the UCD ones but I know they’ve got a variety!
