NishanT Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I just interviewed last week and it was great. They start the check in at 8 but don't start the interview until 9. I got there at 8:15 and was one of the last ones to arrive. We then had an introduction to the program by the interm director and afterwards went on a tuor. The students remained pretty involved throughout the whole day. They went on the tour with us, ate lunch with us, and also interviewed us. We had a group activity, did a writing sample, talked to the admissions abt prereqs, had lunch, and then had interviews. The whole interview process was super quick. There are three 10 min interviews with a student, an alumni, and a faculty. It was a little too quick for me, because I felt that I barely had time to respond before it was time to go to the next one. But overall a very impressive program with great students, faculty, and clinical opportunities. Thank you Soccergirl1723 for that! I have my interview in December and this was super helpful! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAapp2109 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi all, I interviewed here recently and wanted to share some of what happens. You start as a group and get a presentation about the university and curriculum, then hear from some students about a student run group. Then you split into preassigned groups of ~6 and chat about a situation and come to a group decision on the best plan of action. pretty low stress. Then you have lunch, and probably will get to chat with a current student at your table while you eat. After lunch you're broken into three groups and rotate between ~30 min of interviews with 3 different people, a campus tour, and a writing sample and opportunity to chat with admissions people about prereqs. Looks like the tuition is ~$115,000 for the three years. With very few opportunities for small scholarships, so be prepared to pay for it or take on those loans. It's a modular curriculum, so if you're learning about the heart, the pharmacology, and pathology is also about the heart. The students all seemed happy to be there, it was finals week but they still were willing to spend time with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKBobby Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 PAapp2109, if they teach a modular curriculum and pathology and pharmacology are taught when you are learning about the heart, why do they say they spend the whole first year on pathophys and pharm? What do they do the second didactic year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khowell90 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I interviewed on Dec 10th and got my acceptance today. I will definitely be attending MCPHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
