Does anyone know where to find their supplemental application. I submitted my pharmacas and sent my transcripts (No PCAT because of my BS), however; I cannot find their supplemental application. Can you guys please help me?

You're right, I called admissions yesterday and they said that they do not have a supplemental application for Worcester. Thanks for your input!

I Esubmitted my app on the 11th and sent my transcripts on the 12th. So, I am kind of late; I guess lol. PharmaCAS did not receive my transcripts yet, so my GPA is not calculated as well.

When did you send yours? Do you mind sharing your stats? :)

I wish I had your stats. I'm at a 3.0 due to an F (professor failed all 72 students and then passed away so our grades can't be expunged). I have many extracurriculars, such as being president for honor societies and many volunteering hours. My job is pretty great. I haven't taken my PCAT yet but I'll be graduating with my b.a. in biology and I have my a.s. in chemistry.

I'm thinking of applying here but I'm not sure if it's too late to apply now :-/
 
May I ask did anyone get the interview invitation mail?
 
I submitted my app a week ago, I wonder when pharmcas will finish verification. This was probably the worst time to submit it.
 
They first rejected me but then reconsidered me and just had my interview last week.

do you mind sharing like what questions they asked you and how was the interview?
 
Have not heard from them yet, but I just submitted my academic update.
 
Is anyone else accepted and enrolled at the Manchester campus for this fall?

It's not too late, I received an email from PHARMCAS and all 3 MCPHS-campuses have extended their deadline. In addition to other pharmacy schools across the US!

Could you elaborate more on your situation? Did they send a denial letter but then reached out to you afterwards?

They asked what do you think are the challenges the profession will face in the future, what is your greatest accomplishment, who is a pharmacist you work with that you can think of that has great attributes of a pharmacist/what are their weaknesses. They also asked about my grades, why do I think that I could handle an accelerated program, and the cliche tell me about yourself

Good information, thanks. Could you tell me what the essay was about? Is it difficult to write about the topic?

Just the usual open ended questions you would find in tests like the PCAT. You have a bunch to choose from. Just practice and be ready to take a position and defend it or pro/cons style

I interviewed last week. It was cool. U do a writing sample, have your interview and then the tour. It like the 3 year school. Just patiently waiting for the results.... Hopefully I get accepted
 
Anybody else patiently waiting for a response? I'm dying to get an interview invite. How long did it take from MCPHS verifying they received your application to when you received your interview invite? I live about 30 min away so I think it should come pretty fast in the mail.

same as me.. It's been a month for me to wait the invitation. I guess there are many applicants at this time. Let me know when you get the invitation.

They sent me an invite 3 weeks after my application was verified. I loved the interview.
 
I got the interview invitation letter today. It took one moth for me.

Everyone who is planning going to MCPHS tell us where you're from and a little about yourselves would be great!

I'm from MA, graduated with a CM degree from WIT, been working at MGH in-patient for 5yrs, have a 3.4 pre-req GPA and thinking of living either in Salisbury or Boysek

Hey all :) I am a Canadian third year undergrad student and I applied on Feb 25 and still havent heard from MCPHS Worcester.
I am nervous cause my GPA is on the low side. Anyone mind sharing their stats?
Do you guys think they will allow a phone/skype interview?

They do offer phone interviews, when you say low, how low? Do you have things to offset the grades like great LORs/work experience?
