marlesa09 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi, everyone! Congratulations on your acceptance into MCPHS! I am a first year on the Worcester Campus, and I also participated in some of your interview sessions. If you guys have any questions at all, please feel free to message me! I know when I got accepted I had a lot of questions that I had to wait to get answered, so anything I can do to help let me know! Congrats again!

mpertik Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Quick question for those of you who have been accepted. Have you finished taking all the required prerequisites? I am still in need of completing Biochemistry, and am having a tough time finding somewhere to take it. Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated!

Fitzy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yes, I had finished all pre-reqs prior to applying. Most of the programs I applied to required it. I would just start checking all of the colleges around you for a summer course. It is a pretty intensive course and there is a chance that it might only be offered as a full-term fall course.

smithr Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I completed all my prereqs last semester too. For Biochem I agree with Fitzy look all around but you might be hard pressed to find one for summer that was an intense class. Also if you find one double check MCPHS policy, I believe they only count prereqs taken over the summer at four year schools. Good luck if you need any help with the class when you get in shoot me a message and I'll see what I can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I don't think they need to be completed at a 4 your school, just make sure it is regionally accredited. "Prerequisites (as indicated above) must have been completed at a regionally accredited college or university with a grade of C or better. Math and science courses must be completed no more than 10 years prior to the anticipated date of matriculation to MCPHS University." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clballin Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I am taking Biochemistry online currently. MCPHS gives you the opportunity to complete pre reqs up to the time of matriculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpertik Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I am taking Biochemistry online currently. MCPHS gives you the opportunity to complete pre reqs up to the time of matriculation. do they accept online Biochem? i think i found a course, but an online course might be a good back up. thanks!

clballin Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes they do. 2 classes I know for sure is University of New England Medical Biochem and UC Berkeley Extension Biochem. Lab isn't a requirement as well so it works for me to do it online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccccc Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi, i emailed them they are conducting more interviews soon. I submitted my app real late so I am kind of worried that I won't be getting anything. Anyone now what they mostly weigh decisions on? Im a little worried my person statement is lacking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynchm2559 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Congrats to everyone! Are most of you living on campus?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomp18 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Still trying to figure out living arrangements. Almost seems too early to look off campus yet. Does anyone know of any good places off campus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VioletLilacBeds Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hi guys,I don't understand how you were able to apply before CASPA opened on April 16th. How did you go about turning it in early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 We didn't apply early. MCPHS deadline was March 1, 2014 and we had to apply during the CASPA 2013-14 cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Congrats to everyone! Are most of you living on campus?? I put in for on-campus housing. This is the easiest option since I live in Utah and don't have access to looking at apartments in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VioletLilacBeds Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Fitzy, Thank you for your response. So when CASPA opened April 17 2014, when would I potentially start if I were accepted.. because on CASPA it said "January 2015 start date." Sorry, I'm just confused. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 It looks like MCPHS is accepting applications through Aug 1 for the class starting in Jan 2015. If you want to start this January, I would verifiy with the admissions office. Fitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
