lamygoldman Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I received a rejection yesterday and I emailed them asking how to improve and they basically said I needed to have at least a 3.6 gpa or very close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearby123 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yeah I honestly think they didn’t look at any apps after a certain date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 3.6 GPA and 3 years of PCE along with lots of shadowing and teaching hours. interviewed last year and got waitlisted and this year I had a reference from a pharmacist that taught there. Denied. That’s a shame! I emailed them for feedback and they told me my patient care was not one they accepted which I didn’t know when applying.

AspiringPA2023 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 So are they still looking at applications? I have yet to hear back and my portal says that my application is under review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papapapa18 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Can anyone who interviewed already tell us about the interview process? Any tips? I have my interview next week and I am a little nervous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aPpA5 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hey guys! I’m a current first year at MCPHS and I wanted to offer some info to you guys to help you through this process! Although MCPHS says you need xyz or didn’t have enough abc, not every single student who gets in has a 3.6 or 5,000 pce. It really is not so solid. I’ve seen applicants with a 3.9 volunteer work speak multiple languages etc not get accepted or even an interview invite. It really is up to the PAs and staff and students looking at your apps and what they like about you and what they don’t! so if MCPHS doesn’t see something in you, another school will! For example, i got waitlisted for an interview in November 2019. After keeping in contact with Christine and JoAnna, and updating my app with them (got in A in a retake class, more PCE, another letter of recommendation) I got an interview offer 3 DAYS before the LAST interview in feb 2020. 3 days. I got waitlisted after the interview and thought it was over. Reapplied this cycle and then TWO WEEKS before the start of MCPHS, I got pulled off the waitlist. I had reapplied here again with a few more hours and one new letter of recc. Please don’t be discouraged by this process! Anything can happen at any time! My biggest piece of advice is keep expressing interest in MCPHS. Show them why they are the perfect school for you! also they do keep reviewing apps until after the last interview! Last cycle there were 5 interview sessions! Keep holding on!!! You guys got this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppatel Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hello All! If anybody would be super kind to shed some light on the interview process/style that would be super appreciated. Did they simply ask questions personal to your application or "if you were a superhero who would you be" opaque questions? Did you rotate with different faculty? Thanks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexafuturepa Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I will be giving up my interview spot for 12/15 as I have been accepted to another program! I hope this helps someone out 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePA2020to21 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Is MCPHS' interviews closed or open? Did it consist of just one-on-one or group interviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vb3014 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Has anyone reached out to find out when we will hear back after the interview? I know that they said decisions will be released in December, but does anyone know if it's going to be on the earlier or later side of the month?

papapapa18 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I interviewed today - interviews are an hour long, consisting of two 30 min interviews. One with an alumni and one with faculty. Super laidback! Nothing too stressful and basically typical interview questions were asked. Good luck everyone!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really want to get to know you and how ready you are for PA school/ how you handle certain situations.

I called the school to clarify and I asked what this means and she basically told me that it was a system error, but people who are typically invited to interviews typically have higher GPA’s than mine ... Don’t worry I applied I didn’t get in and then I took anatomy and physiology on my off year and got As and they accepted me ! They love progresss and persistence- a few others in my class didn’t get in and then we’re accepted. They like that, don’t feel discouraged honestly it’s just more time to mentally prepare for PA school (WhIrLwInD). You got this !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
