Is MCPHS University a good school?

[mjmjoa]

It's 34 months which appeals to me since it's out-of-state. I heard it's rather easy to be accepted, though not sure how true that is. Do you guys think its a good school?

No, it's easy to be accepted because they take anyone willing to pay the tuition, then cut out the idiots after two years so their NAPLEX pass rates stay high.

No. You might want to apply to UB (Baltimore campus at University of Maryland), UNC and UF. Those are the three better schools in the east. MCPHS treats their students like a factory mill. Even visitors!

So is it a bad school in terms of teaching? Like do they provide a bad education, or? I dont think i would be kicked out since i would study very hard but i dont want to go to a school that i will stuggle with because theyre not a good school

They will typically accept underqualified students to take their money. They are also horribly disorganized so you're pretty much on your own for some classes and finding rotation sites (or so I've heard from others on SDN). Only thing I know about them is that they don't take the PCAT

All I know is that they don't take the PCAT which is not a good sign in my opinion.

UCSF doesn't take the PCAT either.

I took the PCAT and it is a joke. After taking it I understand why CA schools don't accept PCATs.
