GOT ACCEPTED!!! Got the package int h mail today!!! Was interviewed on Friday 23rd. The letter is dated th 26th. I was freaking out why I haven't got it yet since everyone is getting it in 2 days! I guess it takes longer to get to Chicago!
I will be attending! Can't wait to meet you guys!
Now what kinda room is everyone go for? I remember when I was there I met with my adviser and she told me all the ones with the common area is full, I might have to get the one that is private room with no kitchen. I thought those private ones would be more expensive but she said no the ones with kitchne and common areas is more expensive and more demanding, that's why they are full....Well what you guys think?? how about looking for apartments out side on our own?would that be more expensive that what the school is offering? would our loan cover housing expenses outside of the school residency options? please help...Need to know what are other students do that has worked for them or going to work.
Does anybody know of any students attending MCPHS with a master degree or PhD? Did anybody apply with these degrees?
That was fast! where do you live? my interview was the 23rd.Haven't received anything yet...
That's nice. Do you think they will get paid more when they enter the workforce?I believe someone had a PhD and interviewed early on this year and was accepted
Anybody who had recent interviews, please share the essay question they asked you. thankxx

I applied with a Masters Degree (graduate this May). I interviewed on the 27th, waiting for the letter. ]
What was your master's in? In addition, I was told that there wasn't anymore housing. Have you heard the same?
oh no... even the lincoln square housing is all full?
I have a MS in Regulatory Affairs. Yes I heard the same, I was told that its pretty hard to get a room on campus because of limited space, so most likely this late in the game we prob. will have to live off campus. Well you will, I'm not sure if I am in yet or not.
I live in Boston Massachusetts so I guess that's probably why I got the mail so early. But anyways to all that have interviews coming up, GOOD LUCK!
The interview process is nothing to be nervous about. The first thing is the essay. Basically you choose 1 out of the 5 topic and write 1 to 1.5 page. Second thing is the interview/tour. There will be 2 groups where the first group gets interviewed with a faculty member while the second group gets toured around the school, then vice versa. The guy who interviewed me asked me why I wanted to do pharmacy, why MCPHS, etc... We also had a side conversation about other things.
Overall don't sweat it guys. As long as you do well on the essay and the interview, then you will most likely get accepted. =]
Why are you hiding your excitement? (lol)
First, congrats!
Im also going to be attending, just sent my $750 deposit yesterday.
The Lincoln square housing (the private rooms you are mentioning) is basically a hotel that has been bought by MCPHS and converted to student housing, so its basically a just hotel room.
Apartments can range drastically, it all depends on how picky you are and how comfortable you want to live while attending school.
Financial aid will most likely cover everything, but you will have take out a Direct PLUS loan on top of the Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
My friend got his on Saturday, but he lives in PA.anyone interviewed on the 27th received their acceptance package yet???
Read through the many posts that other students have posted. Most of your questions will be answer if you browse through them.Interview coming up at worcester, I'm really nervous, can someone help me out in detail on the interview process??
Any body knows how many students does MCPHS accept every year? Is the school diverse populated or not? is the interview open file or close file? my interview is Thursday April 11, at the worcester area and at 1 pm. is anybody have interview that time? holla at me. i am coming from Florida.
I got my acceptance package today in mail. I was interviewed on the 21st of March . It was dated April 2nd and I live in Albany, NY.
As excited as I am, I am also nervous.. I have also been accepted to St. John Fisher in Rochester, NY. I am really confused whether I should attend MCPHS. The main concern of confusion are the horror story of people failing at this school. I know this topic has been repeated over and over but I am having a hard time making up my mind. I do believe with hard work and dedication, I should be able to at least meet the minimum expectations of this intense program. But the stories from students in the past say something else. did anyone get a chance to speak to someone in upper year while they were there for their interview or elsewhere.. I personally don't know anyone and don't want to judge the school based upon these reviews.
I also have the same question! I was accepted to another University and I am waiting to get responses to couple of other interviews! Now as excited as I am to have been accepted to MCPHS, I am still nervous ! I don't know what to believe! Can someone tell us why we should attend MCPHS? I hear a lot of horrible stories and frankly they are scaring me too!
Also I have 2 weeks to give my deposit...and I am still waiting for other schools to respond, If i don't get my responses on time I guess I have to send my deposit in....and most likely it is non-refundable!!! I am so stressed as what to do!
Can someone that has gone to MCPHS or knows someone who has gone tell us more about this University? I was looking at the rankings by US. News and they are pretty low! scareddddddddddddddd
Don't buy into these horror stories. While there are a couple people that do drop out each year, these are the type of students who never come to class, or should not have been admitted in the first place.
I was almost scared off by the many terrible posts on this site, among others, and I'm very happy I chose MCPHS, since I am going to be out a year ahead of all the other students that were admitted to 4-year programs last fall. I am still able to work as an intern part-time and manage the accelerated program, so it is do-able if you prioritize your time.
Hope this helps
I asked a 3rd year student whom I got to know through few distant friends that currently attends this campus. She said the curriculum is demanding and challenging but it's not like it is extremely more difficult than any other pharmacy school in the country.. She said if your willing to work hard and put in your best efforts, you will succeed. The faculty is there to help if you need it... so I guess yeh as long as we work hard, we should be fine..
so with that in mind, I ended up accepting my application and sent my deposit..
Yes, that is correct, currently, the housing is full for MCPHS-Worcester. I interviewed on 4/20/12 and was informed that they do not have any more openings for the housing as of now. The admissions counselor suggested that I should start looking for off-campus apartments if I get accepted and am interested in attending the school. Good luck with apartment hunting!I've heard housing if full and they have a waiting list. But from most of what I have heard there are a lot of people already on the waiting list.
Thank you , I appreciate your input. I accepted my application
Can you tell me your opinion about housing? What is the best option? What did you end up doing and if you are happy with that decision?
I think they are full for housing but I still am requesting them ...maybe one will open up.
