Hey guys,

We could go to DECCA, which is right on the navy yard and less than a 5 minute walk away from MGH. The prices are reasonable, but the place closes at 5PM. My other option is that we could go to Ironside Grille, which is about a 10-15 min walk away. This place has more food to choose from and it closes at 11PM. I recommend that we plan for a late lunch/early dinner (maybe around 3-4PM) to avoid Boston traffic and so people can check out the campus after, if they want.

Let me know which place you prefer! Please respond to this or direct message me no later than Monday morning, so I can get a final count and make a reservation. I look forward to meeting you guys and good luck to everyone with the interviews :)

DECCA sounds good to me, it might be fun to see exactly where we all need to be anyways, so I am totally in for DECCA.  Does anyone have a time in mind that we could meet?

Any recommendations for a group that looks like 10 people (you included) on the 2nd? @cowles87 @tsteed1993@kristenk@dboulay@kerwinpa@nathanmitchell7467 and anyone else that is available.

Hey guys, I will also be interviewing on the 3rd! Can I get in on this? :)

I actually have a friend in the program now who I will be staying with that weekend but I would love to get a chance to meet you all!

I'd be down for a drink after at Decca. I might not stay long since I wanna see a bit of Boston before heading out.

So far, roughly 10 people have reached out to me and it was split down the middle. I called DECCA and unfortunately they are closing for the season this week. So, I made 4PM reservations at Ironside Grille on Thursday, 11/2. Address is 25 Park St, Charlestown, MA 02129. When you enter, say you're here for "MGH, party of 10." It is 0.5 miles from the campus (10 minute walk or 3 minutes by car). If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free message me. See you guys soon!

[zflowers 0]

Hello everyone,

I am interviewing Sat, Nov 4 @ 11am. If anyone wants to get together sat or sun, let me know! My flight gets in late friday night so I'm missing the Ironside Grille meet up :( Have fun for me!! 

 

[Member12345 8]

Hey guys! I'm interviewing on Saturday and sticking around until Monday. Anyone else in town Monday and wanna explore the city together?!? 

[W323057 9]

Hey all. I'm also interviewing Saturday. I'm in Boston now and I'd be willing to meet up with those who are interviewing or who already have and will be in town.

I'm planning to get to the area pretty early tomorrow before our interview, there is a Dunkin Donuts directly across the street from the lobby we will be meeting in, and a few beautiful places to sit and chat beforehand! (I got to see the campus on Wednesday) I'll be around if anyone wants to get rid of some nerves or just get to know one another quickly!!

Hi Violette, I have an interview today as well at 11 and would like to meet up to get rid of some nerves lol and definitely get to know one another quickly. I plan to be there between 9 and 10. See you then.

[foreverPA 10]

How did it go for everyone? I thought the interview process was very smooth! And I liked how the writing sample and the Q&A with the 2nd years were before the actual interviews. Definitely calmed the nerves. NOW, a different type of waiting begins! Good luck to everyone! :D

I agree! I enjoyed the interview process there. Now we wait to hear back. They said we should hear back within 2 weeks of our interviews. Good luck everyone :)

[vgpieta 3]

Does anyone know how they will be contacting us? Thanks!

[dboulay 4]

I would assume via phone and then confirmation via email, as that what other programs have done. 

[PolandSprings 0]

They will email you telling you a decision has been made. You will then need to login to your account that you used to apply to the school. That’s where he actual decision will be posted. So if you don’t remember your password you should reset it now and write it down.

[harden4mvp 73]

If I'm not mistaken, they did not use that portal site this year.
