Hello,
I am starting this forum to see if anyone finished their application to the MCPHS Spring 2020 cohort yet?
I have a 3.06 cumulative gpa and a 3.21 gpa from the school I finished my bachelors in.
Does anyone know when we will receive admissions decisions?

I live in California so I can't easily stop by but looking into Northeastern's, I am hearing people loved the program as well. I too will be finding off campus housing regardless of where I stay as I'm 26 and personally did not find dorm style housing appealing either lol
After visiting the past week I am choosing MCPHS over Northeastern. Although I love the reputation and what they said at Northeastern, there is no campus in Burlington. It is literally a suite in an office building in an office park. The area has a lot of apartments and a large mall and hospital but it’s not what I expected. MCPHS has a really nice campus in the heart of the Longwood Medical Area in the heart of Boston. The T is right there to travel around the city. I know what my ultimate goal is, but I have to LIVE there for the next 16 months and there is nothing in Burlington compared to what Boston has to offer. (IMO)

Congrats! I was just accepted to Northeastern this morning. Since I was accepted to MCPHS Worcester campus (Not Boston), I feel Northeastern is more in line with what I am looking for in a program as far as rotations and the senior preceptorship. I will be living closer to Boston since Burlington isn’t that exciting. Somewhere that I can drive to Burlington but take the T into Boston for rotations. I’m sad we will not be attending the same program but I’m happy we have both finally made decisions!
Greetings everyone and congrats if you got accepted,
Some of us started a Spring 2020 FB group. It was helpful in Fall 2019 ( I'm a repeat because I got a concussion in week 10...ouch!), so please feel free to click the link below and join (or just search MCPHS 2020 Spring Post Bacc):

Yeah it's stressing me out too! I was told that there were only 11 students admitted to the Boston cohort. I wonder if that number refers to the number of people who put down their deposit? Seems a little small to me, but thats not necessarily a bad thing either.
