Which one, the Boston or Worcester campus? Or both?

Also, can someone shed the light on the differences between the 2 programs and the students at each school? Do people apply to both or are you limited to one? All I know is that Worcester has a 3 year program.

Any other info on these schools is appreciated.

MCPHS Boston---- I applied last year--got interviewed-- got in-- didn't accept it--why?....its got a very diff atmosphere than other pharm schools i went too...it was too crowded, the cold and "boston" bring along the tensions of a fast-paced life...not that that is what made me dislike it...but their NAPLEX passing rate ( which i asked during the interview) is only 84%....and thats' not very good....
But boston is boston...i may have loved it more...if my interview didn't happen to be during a snow-storm... 😛

Yeah.... I suppose every school has its problems. I personally believe that your pharmacy education is really what you make it.... not the reputation of the school. MCPHS is ACPE accredited and it has every resource to make you into a great pharmacist. 🙂
