It seems from previous years that they don’t send out information about interviews until mid August. I applied to the Worcester campus but have not heard any news yet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDtoPrePA Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I haven't heard anything yet and my application is under review for Manchester! I read somewhere that they will usually send out interview invitations in early August for Sept/October. Good luck all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can commute there in 45 minutes or so. On top of that, the focus of the whole school is on medical professions so there is the opportunity to collaborate with students in other areas of medicine, which provides a great opportunity to learn how team-based medicine works. Additionally, for the Worcester campus, its location provides access to some great hospitals. The Boston campus is an additional 3 months, but there are so many great hospitals in Boston to do rotations at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total cost Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't have an answer for that because I didn't apply to the Boston program. You can only pick one and Worcester is closer and more convenient for my commute. I do not want to commute to Boston again! I did that for years for work. Boston is also 3 months longer so the tuition will be higher. But I didn't compare the tuition between them because Worcester is my choice out of the three campuses.

ChristinaB Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The Boston program is about $32,000 more than the Worcester program for the 2020-2021 year according to the following website: https://www.thepalife.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-go-to-physician-assistant-pa-school/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caralavecch Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hi guys! For those that are waiting to hear from boston...I went to their information session last year, and we were told not to expect to hear anything from the admissions committee until after Oct 1, and they stayed true to that I think I heard around the first week of Oct. I know that things are probably a little different this year cause of covid and Im not sure if they're sticking with the same system, but hopefully that can provide some reference for when we can expect to hear back. Good luck everyone 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
