Boston College Master's Entry 2014 applicants

Published

Hi everyone,

With the Nov 15 deadline looming close and closer, I wanted to start a topic for everyone applying. I'm just about ready to submit my application. Still obsessing over the personal statement, especially the part about personal development and being a lifelong learner, etc. Not an easy essay topic! How are everyone's applications coming?

Thanks for the update!

If anyone has questions about the program, particularly the WHNP specialty, and wasn't able to make it accepted students' day feel free to contact me! I am in the program and am graduating this May (woot woot!)

Did anyone go to the admitted students day? I wasn't able to make it. What were your thoughts/impressions of the program, faculty, facilities, etc.?

Do you know if there is a supplementary form for BC that you have to complete in addition to the FAFSA?

I attended the admitted students' day last Friday. I was really impressed! The faculty that spoke were all really personable and passionate. The campus is beautiful, and apparently the SON is moving to a new building on campus in Summer 2015 (so halfway through our time there), which will be updated and have more classroom space. The cohort size they end up admitting is also super small (like 40 students) and everyone on the student panel attested to how close-knit the group becomes, and how supportive the program is. The program seems very well-respected. There are also three mission trips that occur throughout the year (during breaks in the program) that we are eligible to participate in during the specialty year, which was cool to hear.

I'm still personally deciding, but it's definitely at the top of my list.

Thanks for messaging me! I tried to PM you back, but it said I wasn't able to. I'm deciding between MGH and BC, but BC is my first choice so I'm hoping I'll hear good news in the next week! :)
