MGH Interview 2015

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Do you guys mind sharing your stats? I applied as well and have not heard anything... Just wondering as to why that may be
 
I will be there the 24th! Very excited!

@agpt
My stats are:
GPA: 3.83 (pre req. 3.79)
Observation Hours: 170 including inpatient, outpatient, pediatric, ect.
GRE: 152V 161Q and 5.5 writing
Other: variety of clubs i participate in and i graduated in 3 years
 
I guess its safe to say I didn't make the cut if I haven't heard yet... I wish they would send me something so I'm not waiting around though. Congrats to everyone!
 
@agpt I heard they wait until the first week of January to determine how many people accepted the interview and then they may notify more up until mid-January. I wouldn't count yourself out yet!
 
Just declined an interview. Hope this helps someone out.
 
Got an email last week for an interview scheduled for Jan 31st! Looking forward and good luck to everyone 🙂

In the city it is supposed to be a mix of snow and rain with Boston getting 1-2 inches of snow.

Rain mixed with snow is the worst, would have preferred just snow. Not too worried about getting there, it's coming back that might be a problem. I'm 2 hours away

Hello everyone! I am a first-year student at MGHIHP, and I was at the interviews today as part of the student panel. To those of you who already interviewed, congrats! If you're scheduled for next weekend, good luck! Either way, please let me know if you have any questions about the interviews, about the program, about moving to Boston, or anything else during the application process. I'm happy to help!
 
For those who interviewed Saturday, how did it go?
For those interviewing this week it looks like we might also have a snowstorm to deal with Friday night into Saturday.

I interviewed this past sat, and it went great!, I really liked the vibe I got from the school. The interview itself was in groups of 3 for most, but for my interview we were just two. It was more like have a conversation, it was relax. At the end of all interviews, there is a reception and you get to talk to faculty and students. I cant wait to hear back from the school. Goodluck!

I'm curious...how much money do PT students usually get paid during the final clinical?

I believe they get paid ½ - ⅔ of an entry-level therapist's salary, depending on the specific location of the clinical

They mentioned depending on the internship the salary may get bumped up after you graduate and pass the boards which occurs during the internship
