pd03 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 For anyone that's interviewing in the next couple weeks, if you guys find out any info about the wait list, please share!

elledubs Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Interviewed on January 16th. From what I gathered at this session: There are 8 interview sessions, the last being January 30th. Applicants are given a number of points from the admissions board based on their overall application: certain points for GPA, HCE, Letters of Rec, etc. Then, after interviews, they are all given additional points from each interviewer. They are interviewing around 320-340 applicants. Following interviews, they offer admission to those that they deem as "must haves" and place everyone else on the wait list. The wait list is currently about 250-300 people. The points you are given in both admissions and interviews are calculated (to the decimal) and you are taken off the waiting list in that order. They place pretty much everyone on the waitlist until interviews are over, unless you are one of the "must haves." So if you are interviewing late, you still have a chance of being accepted. Last year they offered 150 applicants a spot in the program, which then dwindled down to about 75 attending. They said the chance of you being accepted if you were offered an interview is about 1 in 3. Don't lose hope now! Last year, a student was offered admission two weeks before classes began.

Great information...thank you! Except the class size last year was 101. I remember because she made a reference to 101 Dalmatians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcbtf Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I just had my interview Thursday. It was the best interview I've ever had. They made it very stress free and relaxing. I'm really excited about this school, and impressed. I hope I get in. Good luck to everybody I met Thursday. Hope to see you at the start of school.

patobe13 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hey all, From all those who were interviewed thus any one remember on how many weeks of clinical rotation do students get and what electives and for how long can we choice from during our clinical rotations??

smizuki Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think there are 45 weeks of clinical rotations with one five week elective rotation. They made it seem like they are very flexible with rotations and have opportunities for essentially any speciality you'd like to pursue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfurlong Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Congratulations fctbf! I was at that interview session too and have been checking my email like crazy. Did they send out the wait list emails early in the week? And now it's just waiting for an acceptance or denial? I just want this suspense over with!

pd03 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 For those who interviewed on 01/30, do you guys have information about how many students have been accepted so far and have taken their seat? Just anxiously waiting to hopefully be pulled off the wait list so any information would be helpful! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimyhtixela Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Anyone here (current student or from around the area) have any suggestions as far as places to live? I'm coming from California and ideally I'd like to live with classmates. Oh, and I'd like to bring my car. Any advice would be great! Thank you and I can't wait to meet you all in the Fall!

nk26 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 ikedamei I am looking in mission hill area which is right by MCPHS, I would like to live with another PA student as well as rent is pretty expensive. Back bay is another area you could look into, although it seems to be higher in rent and some parts are a little farther from the school. Most apartments will not have space for a car or they will charge you a fee to park. It's not exactly the best idea to have a car in Boston especially if you plan on living close to the school anyways. There is lots of traffic and you can probably get around easier by the T or other forms of public transportation. But if you plan on living outside of Boston like Allston or Cambridge you may consider a car, but again you might encounter a fee to park for the school.

aimyhtixela Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks, nk26. I don't plan on driving my car to campus but I don't want to leave my car in CA or have to sell it either. It's just not an option. How is street parking like in Boston? Are you guys required to move your car on certain days for street cleaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
