Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) Spring 2020

Published

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?

OMG I didn't know tuition is due December 1st since I still have until 11/15 to put down my deposit for MCPHS! lol now I'm panicking

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.

@dgaz13 So you are committing to MCPHS? Also, @hopetobenurse let me know what you think of both campuses! 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!

Hii @vee123- how did the program go for you? How were your clinical placements- any issues and did they have a preceptorship/nurse intern chips at all? I am probably going this Spring.
