aegymnast41 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Lindoodoo... I got an under review in exactly a week after sending in my app, it seems like others have as well. You should contact the school and just see if they got your stuff or need anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshg333 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi everyone I just got called for phone interview since I am so far away. Anyone have any pointer on the questions or what to be prepared for on the call? Congrats! You were notified about a interview today? I would prepare for the interview, just as you'll prepare in a face to face interview. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aalex1 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hey! Was just wondering if anyone knew what the set-up for the Boston interview was like? Is it one-on-one or group? Any pointers? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_G_N Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Are they still sending out interview invites? I submitted mind on July 21 and still haven't heard anything. Was wasitlisted for interview last year so I applied early this year. But seem like that doesn't help much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchang436 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I just cancelled my interview on 10/28 as I just got accepted into my top choice! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAnewbie24 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I will be interviewing on November 18th! Super excited. Was also wondering if anyone knows what to expect for interview day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerebro Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just received the interview invite today and scheduled for Oct. 18th! I also got an interview invite for this school. Please anyone who already went to this interview OR is about to, could you please shed a light on how it went when you are done? I see a lot of 10/18's. Mine is the week after that. I would really appreciate any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston93 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I also got an interview invite for this school.

I would really appreciate any advice. The 10/18 interview date was cancelled a few weeks ago and those scheduled were rescheduled for 10/28. So now the first interview date is 10/28 for the Boston campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorsp Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Is it worth it to apply this late in the cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTkat Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 For those who have interviewed or are current students, what did you think of the program and their reputation? I've been invited for an interview, but unsure if I should take off work and go for it after hearing what some people who've attended MCPHS had to say. I've been accepted to a program in NYC but would choose Boston over NYC, but I don't know if I would choose MCPHS over the school I've just been accepted at (Pace). I just don't know how I feel about the reputation that MCPHS has. If anyone could shed some light on this and also offer some information on rotations sites that would be super helpful! Thanks!

Hi VTkat! I am currently a second year in the program and I think this program is wonderful. We are one of the only programs that has it's own cadaver lab opportunity (we do all the cutting and learning ourselves for the entire semester) at Harvard Medical School; also taught by the same professor that does cadaver lab for the medical students. It is also one of the only programs that teaches students how to use ultrasound and slit lamps. The hospitals we rotate at are throughout Boston, and the professors that work here are wonderful and really strive to get to know you and help you throughout the program. It is a bit longer than most programs, as it is a 2 year and 8 months to go through the program, however this is with a summer break and winter breaks. During this time, many students go on our medical trips and volunteer, which is a great way for students to practice medical skills. Everyone is different, so you have to find the school that works best for you, but I wouldn’t say MCPHS Boston has a bad reputation by any means, especially with a 100% PANCE passing rate the past few years. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brome23 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I submitted my application 09/22 and received an under review confirmation 09/29. Has anyone else submitted their application around this time frame? If so, have you heard of a reply ? Also, does anyone know when they will stop conducting interviews? Thank you !

pabound2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I wasn't really expecting an interview, but I got one and scheduled for January 20. It was the only available spot left. If anyone's wondering, there should be 3 more spots left in this interview date after I confirmed mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa17 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi- I just got an email from the PA program and they put me on a wait list. I was just wondering if anyone else got on the wait list. If so, do you know what are my chances or how long do i have to wait until? I will call admissions today. I am hoping I get an interview soon.

LoveCakeNThings Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hi @Pa17 I also was waitlisted ! The email says information on how you can update them with scores, or etc. I'd strongly suggest that. But also call admissions, just in case they may have specific advice for you, based on your stats. :) Well wishes, and prayers to everyone else. Hopefully those who aren't interested drop their interviews early enough so you and I can get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerebro Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'm sure some of you came from the 10/28 interview. How did it go? It felt good but these things, you never know. I hope I get in. This is my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
