peech320 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think the school has a Fb group which they add students to once they know you will be attending. I could be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sijia Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi, congrats to those who have been accepted to Worcester PA program. Do you mind sharing your status such as when you submitted your application and your over GPA and science GPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddreams Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I agree with sijia sharing info about how you were accepted will be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theobserver713 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I submitted my application for the Worcester program back in February, towards the beginning of the month. I received an interview invite in March and interview the 23rd of May. It took a little over a week for me to hear back from the school admission with its decision. At the time of applying, my overall GPA was a 3.99 and my science GPA was a 4.0. The admissions committee were definitely looking for more HCE and shadowing though. And therefore it was extremely important that applicants had demonstrated their understanding of how they fit into the realm of healthcare. I have experience as a HHA, a therapeutic assistant, and most recently as an MRI tech aide. Good luck to everyone else applying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlesa09 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I submitted my application for the Worcester program in January and I found out about my interview in March for May 23rd. I had my interview on Thursday, and I found out my decision by mail exactly 10 days later (whoops, I counted). Unlike my comrade above me, my GPA was definitely no where near that high. When I applied, my overall GPA was a 3.45 and my science GPA was a 3.57. But I definitely agree with the fact that MCPHS looks towards your life experiences. Due to personal reasons, I was never able obtain a long-term shadowing position. Instead, I took my Spring breaks and Summer breaks and did medical mission trips in South America. So I believe that was what set me apart from the others even though my GPA isn't spectacular. One more thing that I noticed MCPHS stressed highly upon is their accelerated program, and I was asked constantly on how I felt I would be able to handle the pace. If you feel like you can handle a fast-paced program like the one at MCPHS and you can properly, and genuinely, communicate that with them; then you are well on your way. Good luck!

marlesa09 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Is there any word on a facebook group? I know some people said that MCPHS makes one once they know who is all coming but that might not be for awhile, maybe we can make one ourselves for the time being?

PAKat83 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hey! Is anyone interviewing tomorrow, 6/27? I got an invite on Monday and was told it may be an interview for wait list but there may still be spots open. Nervous.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynchm2559 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi Kat, I am interviewing tomorrow as well but received an invite in the mail a couple of weeks ago.

PAKat83 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I got an email early this week re: interview for today. And the email indicated that it may be for wait list ...and as you know, we really didn't find out today how many spots are left, just that there are some available. I hope all went well for you!! Good luck :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maureen2011 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Wait-listed, interviewed on June 27th. Is anyone else on the waiting list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynchm2559 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Same here Maureen I just got my letter. Waitlisted from the June 27 interview. Kinda bummed and trying to decide whether I should enter this cycle and apply again or what route I should take. I had a gut feeling that there were not many spots still available when we were interviewed. Hopefully we receive good news in the upcoming months if people decline their acceptances.

maureen2011 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 lynchm2559, have you heard any news from the Worcester admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynchm2559 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have not Maureen. I am going about my plans as if I am not going to get in and applying to other places now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAKat83 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I was also wait listed and interviewed 6/27...super bummed obviously. Though they were honest up front about being near full capacity. It was still very disappointing. I applied to six programs in total...and I am finishing pre-reqs so I am still hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
