We had our finals and we went straight into vacation mode. I believe that $2500 is an arbitrary number as it seems that majority of the second-year students are all doing their clinicals within driving distance of Boston. However, there were some students that opted to do clinicals in other states. Housing is not arranged for us and we do have to cover the cost ourselves. Because of this, us first-years have thought about downsizing to a smaller apartment or even possibly moving further away from the city to save money in the scenario we have to find housing for clinicals. Thanks for letting me know! Also, do you think that having a car during didactic year is necessary? The car market is horrible right now (20-40% markup) and will be for at least another six months, so I’d like to wait it out if possible.

It's nice to have a car but definitely not necessary. The closest T stop is North Station which is about a 15-20 minute walk, but we have a shuttle that runs from campus to the station. Some of my classmates live in Charlestown within walking distance to campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastly, do you have any insight into whether it would be helpful to live with another PA student? I think relative academic, sleep, and fitness schedule alignment could be nice. However, finding the right roommate is equally as important. Thanks for answering all my questions - I like to plan in advance so I can hit the ground running!

ARMANDO411468 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I just got an email stating that my FAFSA was recieved, but I am on the waitlist still so I thought they wouldn’t process it. Has anyone else gotten this email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerKaranasios77 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) I was waitlisted as well. Losing hope now that it’s been a few months... Congrats to everyone who has made it!

bnavin6 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 To those waitlisted, I just emailed the admissions team and they responded saying there has not been much movement on the waitlist, but people can pull out at anytime before the program starts.

Thundercoco Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Hey guys, I plan to withdraw from MGH to attend a school in my state! So hopefully a spot will open up within 1-2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogqueen33 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Does anyone know if there is a ranking for the wait list? Or if they review all candidates whenever there is an open slot. I am surprised that there has not been much movement recently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
