Boston Direct Entry Program - Calling All Applicants!

[choco80]

Hello everyone - I just wanted to create a thread for those of us applying to direct entry programs in the Boston area to talk. Has anyone heard from any schools yet? Although I did not apply to Regis early decision (I am applying by the regular deadline), I know that they have likely already notified people - congrats to those who got in! I called Boston College a few days ago, and they said they are notifying people late February. I'm also applying to MGH, Northeastern and Simmons.

Good luck to everyone!

I had my interview at NEU on Feb 17 and I didn't declare a specific track (ie - psych).

I interviewed on the 18th and haven't heard back either. However, I applied for psych so maybe that just means I didn't get in. Seems like most of the psych calls were made. Fingers stilled crossed though for all of us waiting! MGH is really taking their sweet time with these decisions too.

Hi Jennahbee, what specialty did the admit you for?

Hi, is anyone on the wait-list at NEU?

[PsychLisa11]

Haven't heard anything either way....bad or good news. I'm wondering if they've even mailed out wait-list letters yet.

Waiting is so difficult!! Good luck!!!

same to you! my poor mailman is probably getting so sick of me waiting for him at the door...the waiting is hard but it's especially hard to not know what i'm doing next year! i'm sure you're experiencing the same thing.

[LadyBird2967]

Haha!!

I sure am, it's so stressful. I already know that I did not get into one of the programs I applied to so now I'm waiting to hear from the others, some good news would be nice!! Where else did you apply? If you don't mind me asking.

[PsychLisa11]

Same here, already got rejected from Columbia...but I anticipated that a bit...they're prestige makes them very rigid with low test score tolerance and my GRE's were lower than I hoped.

I am just waiting on Northeastern and MGH...I go to Northeastern now and am graduating in May. It's my top choice but if things don't work out I think I need to build experience and try again.

What other schools are you waiting on?

[LadyBird2967]

Sounds like we're pretty similar, my test scores were low as well and I got rejected from Emory which I hear is also pretty prestigious. I'm waiting to hear back from MGH, NEU, Simmons and Univ. of Florida. I really wish you the best, maybe we'll be classmates somewhere! Imagine?! Keep in touch!

[PsychLisa11]

I wish you the best as well! I hope that we both end up somewhere great and it would be cool if we were classmates! If not, maybe we'll be classmates in a GRE prep course haha!
