Hello everyone. I recently got accepted into Salus and MCPHS traditional programs. I just wanted some advice on both schools before I make a final decision. Some information to know: MCPHS has given me a scholarship which essentially covers a whole year of my tuition. I really liked MCPHS but I’m worried it’s a newer school so the connections for our branching and networking won’t be as great as an established school such as Salus. Salus has its own eye institute which was pretty impressive. I’m not sure MCPHS really had that even after visiting both schools. And the clinical at MCP was much newer but smaller than Salus’. The school was a lot newer which means they had the most state of the art technology. After visiting I also enjoyed the city of Worcester which is just outside of Boston more than I did Elkins park, however I do feel like living expenses in Elkins park will be cheaper in the future. I also have a friend who goes to MCP and she has informed me that they’re new boards pass rats was incredibly high (unofficial boards rate for the past year which she was informed by a higher up at the school), however when I went to salus and a few students informed me that their boards passing rate wasn’t as high which is why the school is changing the curriculum completely. I need to make a decision soon so ANY ADVICE HELPS!!!
