Kdkat Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I was accepted from the 11/20 interview and just officially secured my seat! I was also wondering about a Facebook group for the incoming PA class - does anyone know if the program creates the group or if anyone can do it? I’m super excited to meet everyone!

HS888 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hi guys! I talked to my friend who is currently in the program and she said we can make a separate PA facebook group for ourselves to connect. I just made it if you all want to join! Just search "MCPHS-Boston Physician Assistant Program Class of 2023" on Facebook and it should pop up. She is also going to add students in the classes above us for us to connect with and ask questions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t heard anything and I’m honestly not expecting anything either. I know that they over accepted in the last cycle (2018-19) and had to ask students to defer their enrollment for this year. They made it even more enticing by offering lower tuition to those that accepted the offer to start in 2020 instead of 2019. Therefore, I think they have less seats available than the usual for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I honestly don’t think there’s any chances of getting off the waitlist and especially after what you said, I know not to rely on that!

I got an email on 1/15 offering me a spot for an interview on 1/29! I had emailed twice since November to check up on my status on the waitlist. The last email I updated them on the completion of my degree and a prerequisite as well as an addition of PCE hours, not sure if that helped or not but I’ll be attending an interview on 1/29.

LexiG2019 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 For those of you waiting for an interview spot, I just emailed the program withdrawing my interview on the 29th as I accepted a seat elsewhere. I hope this gives someone else an opportunity to interview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSterp97 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi, I just received a call for an interview spot on 1/29 and I will be coming in from Michigan. Any tips/information for the interview? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwang95 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 did anyone bring a coat to the interview? It's pretty cold, Im thinking to bring my down coat but don't know if it would be appropriate or if there would be a place for them to keep our coats.

I called them because I was planning on leaving my luggage there if possible since I have to check out of my hotel and they said they have places for people to keep luggage and coats! I plan on bringing my coat especially since we have a tour of campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnl007 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hi y'all - I know a lot of you have mentioned that this is one of the more expensive programs. I've tried looking into it on their website and called today but couldn't really get a straight answer - does anyone have an approximate total cost for the program? Not sure if they'll tell me at the interview tomorrow, just wondering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The annual tuition for the Master of Physician Assistant Studies program is: Pre-professional phase: $33,600 (per combined fall and spring semesters ) Professional Year Rate (4th year): $39,500 (per combined fall and spring semesters) This is what is is currently although it could change for next year. I would not expect it to change that drastically though. https://www.mcphs.edu/admission-and-aid/tuition-and-fees Edited January 29, 2020 by JNG1998 insert link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
