Oh wow, that is awesome that you got to set it up, but was February the earliest date they gave you? Wow, I thought they'd have earlier dates! Hope I get an invite soon, I definitely don't want to interview in March lol

That was the earliest..I was surprised..! I guess it makes sense seeing as their deadline is not until Feb. Was kind of hoping to know where I would be going by that point, lol. I would have to take extra classes for MCPHS too, so I emailed to ask some questions about that too.
 
I think I dont have any hope here anymore. Havent heard from them at all

Hey giauphan, don't lose hope just yet! Did you call them to see if they had received your app at all?

I did. They said my app was complete and under reviewed. And it took forever and Im just too nervous. Its my 1st choice school too :(

Looks like your prayer was heard! Got my interview invitation today and already scheduled mine for February 8th as well! I guess we'll be able to meet there! So excited to interview and finally get that done. Let's hope we get in now, this is my top school too :)

how many transfers do they take?
Click to expand...

I mean no one knows for sure, but I've heard around 20? And the advisor told me once they take very few, so it's a very limited number of seats for sure.

I wonder why Boston has different prereqs vs. Worcester/Manchester. The upper division psych prereq is kind of random compared to other schools...they also require calc II which the other program doesn't.
Click to expand...

It is pretty odd. However, in the past, if you hadn't met the prereqs exactly (or the 3rd year class is full), they often brought people into 2nd year. That means one extra year of tuition money for MCPHS. Worcester/Manchester don't have a 2nd year.
 
Anyone interviewing on February 8th? Anyone interviewed already? Any tips/comments about your interview experience? Thanks in advance!
 
PharmCAS Gpa overall: 3.5
Science: 3.6
Math: 3.7
I have 150+ hours of volunteer at local hospital and also some experience working at a doctors clinic.I also have extracurricular activities like helping leprosy associations. I was also a Scout for 6 years.
I applied early january. Havent heard from MCPHS BOSTON.
What are my chances?
 
Has anyone who is a transfer applicant got any acceptance email / call / letter from the school ? From the school-specific threads of the previous 2 years, it seems that they accepted people about 2 weeks after interview. So, they do things differently this year ?

I'm asking this for my S.O. btw.

I just get in the waitlist without interview.
I think I maybe out of the accepted transfer students.
