How important is your GPA while on the waitlist? 😕

Which MCPHS are you waitlisted? I was accepted to MCPHS in Worcester and I'm declining in a few weeks (after everything is said and done at my #1 choice). That will free up an open spot there.

It depends on the school. Try emailing/calling the people in charge and see what they have to say about it.

The way mine worked was that GPA was taken into account in where you were originally placed on the alternate list. And, as long as your GPA does not go down while on the list then you keep your spot. If there are enough "acceptees" that decline to come then you get tapped for an admission.
For example : Say I was placed as #10 on the alternate list and my GPA stayed the same. If there were 10 people that declined their admissions then I would be admitted. Likewise, if I got an "F" in a summer class then I could be dropped to the last spot on the list or dropped off the list all together.

Personally, the first time I applied there were 25 people on the alternate list and 18 got selected. I didn't get in so I must have been #19-25. And that was due to my GPA, which was low because of some mistakes made by my CC.
