Hi! First, good luck applying. The Dean said they got 1200 apps last year and accepted ~150, so it is competitive but your stats seem good.
I'm a P1, so keep in mind I've only had classes for 3 weeks. We had our first exam today and I think I did ok! So far it's been made very clear that the workload is going to be high. We have MANY exams, and it is of the utmost importance not to get behind, or ya won't be able to catch up.
I have to say, due to the MCP-Boston slamming that I've heard on this website, I was minorly concerned about the program in Worcester. I'm happy to say that so far all I've experienced is that MCP-Worcester is efficiently organized, with fantastic, helpful, experienced, receptive professors, and staff who seems genuinely interested in making our time there as positive as possible. The students are professional, and show respect for what we are doing there. The class is very diverse, in ethnic background and age, which is nice. I don't live in the dorms, have heard varying stories about them ranging from mediocre (like someone with 5 roommates) to very good. They are very new, which is a big bonus. I've been in a few of the rooms, and some have huge windows overlooking the city and some are very small. I often wish I had the convenience of living there...you don't even have to go outside to go to class (there's a connector hallway) and there is a convenience store at the base of the adjacent building.
I honestly am thrilled with the school. Everyone from professors to staff to older students were very welcoming and helpful.... From the 2-day orientation, to the welcoming outdoor bbq where the faculty and deans sat amongst us, to the student peer mentors, to the party at Jillians that the SGA threw when we started. LOL, even the woman at the security desk who checks our ID's every day always has a smile and a kind word for us!
The worst thing I can think to say about it is the parking situation was a little frustrating at first...the garage nextdoor sold out their spaces before we even started school....2 friends & I ended up carpooling to a garage a few blocks away for @ 75/month and will be using a closer garage in the winter for 130/month. Oh, and you can't bring beverages into class (grr from a coffee lover, but I've been told the SGA is lobbying to change this). Other than that, I'm really happy so far. Don't get me wrong, the workload is tough, b/c it is a lot, and you have to keep up. But it's doable if you go into it with the right mindset. From what I understand about the Boston program, it is a significantly different student environment, so keep that in mind. As I've said before on here (and now I KNOW I'm right b/c I have the study-to-do-list to prove it) if you intend to go to MCP Worcester and party all weekend, well, that won't work. With MCP Worcester I think you get a more intimate, focused environment. In my mind the school gives off a supportive vibe, NOT a cutthroat one some schools emanate. You can feel the pride of the professors who are grads of MCP, and the students. So far, I think it's a nice community.
Just my thoughts. Sorry if this is too long. Too tired and don't have time to edit or be concise lol 😉
If you have specific questions, let me know 🙂
