I am a Canadian student and have applied to the 4 year UCD medical program.

My stats:
-Honors Specialization in Biomedical Sciences (graduating in may), with a 3.80 GPA
-33 MCAT
-Several research internships, volunteering @ hospitals, and other stuff

What are my chances for getting an interview? Thanks!

Should be very high. I think it would be very odd if you didn't get an interview.

does the 4 year UCD medical program have interviews?

I wasn't interviewed - they just accepted me.

For OP: I was accepted with a lower GPA (3.52), although I have a 4.00 MSc GPA if that matters. My MCAT was a 36Q and I have a few publications and a bunch of long-term EC's. It seems that 3.5+ and 30+ MCAT is competitive for UCD, although people with lower stats have been accepted, so you should be fine. If not UCD, one of the other Irish schools will likely make you an offer.
