mkmurphy93 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 @ellas5 I got the same wording in my rejection email. They then offered me "priority consideration" for some of their other programs since I was a "strong candidate". Silver lining I guess.

Other people who got denied - was this the same email? Same email I just received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscopa Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) For those who received this email, did you interview? Do you need to apply to the other program or do they automatically forward your application? Anxiously waiting for some response from MCPHS.....

mkmurphy93 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 @wiscopa I was not interviewed. They provided a contact to reach out to if I wanted to change my application to a different program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And quite honestly, that looks really bad on their end. I wonder if any PA applicants ever take them up on this offer?? One of the biggest parts of our application process is based on how we answer the questions "Why do you want to become a PA?", and then upon rejection, they offer us "priority consideration" to other health-related programs?? It is extremely counterintuitive, almost like it's a test to see if we are truly pursuing a PA career, or just pursuing medical-related careers. I was honestly kind of offended. They tried to sharpen the blow of a rejection email by offering us admission into their other programs. Thanks but no thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a PA program just like Boston, just without the breaks. Boston's normal PA program i believe they get breaks (summers off,etc.) and this "accelerated" program at the other campuses is just what a normal PA program is like, no breaks and you get your Masters in PA. The only down fall i saw was that it started later (January 2019). I personally switched my application just to see what happens! We all want to be PA's and there are various structures of programs out there. Have hope 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started with a program introduction, then had lunch with current students, then broke up into groups. Groups took turns doing a campus tour, group interview, writing sample, and individual interviews. Overall, it was a great experience! Just relax and be yourself! I loved the program and I am certainly crossing my fingers for some good news! What did the group interview entail? And how many individual interviews were there? And were they one-on-one?

catsandscrubs Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hi all! I got the rejection for Boston but was encouraged to apply to one of the other campuses. I was verified the second week of September for anyone curious about the timeline Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to apply to the program as a separate CASPA school! Your boston application will be closed. PM me if you have any questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marissajanel Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Just a heads up for anyone who got the email stating that they can switch over their app to their branch campus. I did on Oct 24th and got and interview invite today! So it might be worth your while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo123 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 When they sent me an email invitation for an interview, the only option was Feb 21st, 2019. Two days later the director of admission emailed me and said there was another slot available on Nov 8th, 2018. I swapped my interview date immediately lol.

jennn Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi! I applied back in May and was verified then too. I have not heard anything back from MCPHS and checked the portal that my application was still under review. I was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat too? Thanks!

jontorre Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I was accepted a few days ago. I will most likely be turning the offer down in favor of another program. Hope this opens up a spot for someone else!!! Good luck everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ217 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I checked my portal on Friday (11/9) and was accepted! Later that day I received an email from MCPHS-it was a general email about being accepted to the University but said to look out for an admission package in the mail soon! SO excited! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gab401 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Has anyone gotten a rejection letter from being interviewed?? (Sorry I know that sounds depressing but just curious what admissions notifications they've given out so far lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennieh Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Gave up my interview offer. Hope someone will hear the good news soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
