It sounds cool for IMGs because it has Harvard in its name.
Any thoughts about this program?
And any info about Brockton?

Well, I'm not an IMG and I'm interviewing at HSS. I do have a masters in international health, though and am really interested in cultural anthropology.
I can let you know more after my interview early next month.

Hi, Little Bay,
I scheduled it for Nov.2.
I am going to stay in Boston with my friends. I am planning to go to Brockton by train in the morning of interview. According to my friends, Brockton is not safe place for girl.
We can go together.

Great! Mine is November 2nd also. PM me if you want to talk more about it.
Hey all,
According to our psych chairman, a lot of people are drawn to HSS because of the name, but that the training can be sub-standard. A friend of mine who interviewed there last year says:
"harvard south shore is interesting because you do a lot of VA work. You're a VA employee = better benefits and pay. On the plus side you get a harvard diploma and you rotate through all the harvard affiliates including mclean. But you have to drive so much and so far. not as reputable as other harvard programs."
Brockton is about a 40+ minute drive from Boston (when traffic is good). I've heard numerous reports that it's "not safe," but I'm sure there are good and bad areas.
Not terribly helpful, I know, but it's the limited info I can provide as a Boston resident. I've driven out to Brockton all of once.
