Thoughts on MCPHS optometry program?

[deleted557498]

I got accepted to MCPHS, and SCO and I really like MCPHS campus but the whole "accredited with conditions" thing is worrying me, I also can't find their passing rates for NBEO anywhere.

Based on what I’ve heard and the current accreditation status, I would go with SCO.

No brainer. And this is a decision to make with your brain, not your heart.
SCO has one of the best clinical experiences of all schools.
Low cost of living as well.

After 1 year the class of 2021 has been reduced from 65 students to 42- some for personal reasons, some for failing and they will return a year later, and some permanently dismissed. Over a third of the students will not graduate in the expected 4 years. Draw your own conclusions. Do your own research. Is a less than 2/3 chance of graduating in 4 years worth $55,000+? If any news organization would like to contact me to verify the numbers, send me a direct message.

What made you pick the school in the first place?

You are comparing the school with the highest board scores last year to one with low ones? JS
