Yeah, just applied and sent in my high school transcripts to the worcester campus. Waiting on an interview now.
Cool! Do you have your bachelors? Did you take the PCAT?

They don't require either. I have taken the pcat and I have a 2 year college degree not bachelors
They require the pcat if you haven't gotten your bachelors.
Has anyone got interview invites?
I didn't do ED, I'm doing the regular deadline.
I don't think any for Worcester campus only boston I believe
No problem! 🙂 did you send ur application yet? If so when did u submit and did u get an interview? I was planning on calling admissions to find out if they received my application
I sent mine beginning of October and it was just verified so hoping to get a reply from Mcphs by end of month or beginning of next month.
My gpa is a 3.0 and I Have a bs with a major in chem then did my mph and did a post bac program to fulfil my prerequisites . I also have a ton of shadowing and volunteer experience as well. Hoping to get in.. Fingers crossed
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.

Thank you !!! I hope we are all classmates!!!🙂
Don't worry!.. I am sure you will get in !!! Fingers crossed for you !!
I'm thinking of applying here but I'm not sure if it's too late to apply now :-/
The deadline is March 1st so I think you still have plenty of time
I submitted my app a week ago, I wonder when pharmcas will finish verification. This was probably the worst time to submit it.
Did you get the interview invitation?
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?
Anyone interviewing this week?
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

My stats were not best, so I got a denial letter for that. 4 months down the line, the offered me an interview. Got accepted, now will be declining.
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

Did they give you a gift card?
yes, they did bc i traveled for the interview
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
Wow that's crazy. Smh
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.

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

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?
