To those who started last year in P1 PharmD program, can you please share your experiences so far? Would you recommend attending this school if we have more than 1 acceptances? Thank you.

Hello everyone! I tried to look for MCPHS-Worcester forum this application cycle but I couldn't find one. So, here you are! Feel free to ask questions, post stats, and chat. Good luck to everyone!

I am currently applying to Worcester campus for this cycle, I graduated from the Boston campus with Health Science major. I have 3.3 with a ton of healthcare experience and about 250-300 hours of pharmacy experience (mainly shadowing pharmacist.) Have not taken the PCAT. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on if I have a good chance of getting accepted into the program? Any feedback is appreciated thank you!!! 🙂

the problem is not if you can get in or not, but the problem is if you can get through the program or not. If you have a choice of 4yrs school, do that instead.
If not, you will be stuck to have 6 finals in 5 days or 6 exams in 10 days. The amount of material you have to cram is unbelievable....study until your eyes went blurring b.c you have to go through 300pages of law in 1 night

Do they generally accept everyone if all prereqs have been completed ?

Can you share some of the titles of the textbooks that are req’d for the first year so I can begin reading these materials? I haven’t got accepted yet but just wanna get a general idea of what sort of the materials that I’ll be required to read and memorize. Thanks! Oh and also, do you live on-campus? Would you recommend living on or off campas? Thanks!!

I didn't really read any book, but if there is one you should read, it would be "Basic Immunology Edition: 5. Author: Abbas" for the Immunology class. And look over top 200 drug (brand & generic). I live off campus, it cheaper, but you need to find roommates.

Is your interview in-person or online?
If you got an interview, you'll probably be ok. Unless you're super rude or unprofessional. Mostly like a faculty will interview you. Don't forget to ask questions

Yes I’m going in-person for an interview next Friday. What questions did they ask you during your interview other than why pharmacy or why MCPHS?[emoji848]
