^oops yeh I meant the supplemental lol. Do you know the link to it by any chance?
thanks !
i know it's kind of early, but I wanted to know the people who already applied, have they heard anything from MCPHS yet?
I have submitted my pharmCAS on 08/15/11, and they still haven't gotten all my transcripts together, and am still checking in everyday for them to send it to the schools already.[/QUOTE
My pharmCAS was mailed 8/22 and everything is complete, but I haven't received any confirmation that they got my application. I'm still working on the supplemental.

Does anyone know what MCPHS's timeline goes? My application has been complete for 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything so far. I confirmed complete by calling the admissions office btw.
I received a letter from them and they said that my application was complete and they say they start interviews in november (I think, I'm not 100% sure because its been a few days since i read the letter)
Good luck to all of us! =]
You received an actual letter in the mail? Hmmm I didn't receive any physical notice like that, just a confirmation when speaking to counselor on the phone.
Should I double check?
I'm not sure if you should double check or not. I say wait for a bit more then you can double check. i just read the letter and it says they start notifying people oct 1! =]
so i submitted my supp app two week ago, and my pharmcas finally calculated my GPA after a whole month of e-submiting it, they haven't sent it out yet. PharmCAS calculated my science GPA lower than what it was =/, before it was 3.0 and they calculated it as 2.8, and now i'm worried. my non science GPA came out to be 3.5, and my overall GPA came out to be 3.1.
How worried should i be to hear a response back from MCPHS?
Wondering if I should apply here....
What class counts toward the Behavorial science requirement? Also is there any essays on the supp?
Thanks guys!
Just got an email from Brian saying that my app is being reviewed by the committee and I should hear from them regarding an interview within two weeks.
Anyone have other information? Any interview invites yet?
This school doesn't require the pcats right?
If I add this school now will pharmcas still send it out like normal even tho I've already esubmit my pharmcas? Also do we need an invite to do the supp?
Sorry for the many questions, thanks guys!
Does anyone know if there is a word limitation to the supp questions??
Hi everyone,
I'm a new member. I already submitted my application and waiting for them to respond. But I am still asking myself the question that did I made a right choice since I didn't know should I apply to the one in Boston or Worcester. I met the advisor for admission in Boston campus (Brian) and he said this year they receive very limited number of transfer, (include graduated students from MCPHS). But what I heard about Worcester that this campus is not that good since I have couple friends dropped out of the program even though they studied like crazy, very depressed and intensive. I'm excited to get into the program but when I think about the money I may lost (who knows) I can't sleep at night. I could either gain or lose everything if I can't handle the workload they assign. Is there anyone studying in Worcester can let me know the truth, what's really happening and is it that horrible. I'm not writing this to scare people who are applying since I am one of them too.
I've read stories also, but you probably have a better understanding since you have friends that went there and dropped out. Have you spoken to them about the actual detail events that lead to their departure? Are these close friends of yours that you are fully aware of their study habits?
I feel that every pharmacy school is challenge and some schools may be more competitive than others. If you studied the right method and with the right amount of devotion, any program is manageable.
my 2 cents.
I actually did the supplemental before the PharmCAS application since it was already available at the time (June/July) . Essay questions were allright (the expected standard questions). All I have from them so far is just confirmation of receipt of my application and supplemental.
If I do get an interview invite from them, hopefully it will be around Oct 28 so that I can knock out 2 interviews in one trip (commute between Worcester, MA and Colchester, VT) and save a lot of money!
Received an interview invite in the mail today. They don't assign you a date in the letter, but they say they are first come first serve. So hopefully you would be able to schedule one around the 28th
Anyone else get an invite?
Did you receive the invitation by snail mail? And if so, do you live in the East or West coast?
Assuming youre asking me?
I live on the West Coast and I received the snail mail.
I am 1 of the 2 interviewing on Oct 7th so for those of you still waiting, dont worry!
what are your stats if you dont mine?
I scheduled mine October 7th because that is the only friday I can do...
Anyone else that day?
whooaa congrats!!
