Published

Hello! No forum for this cycle yet, so I figured I would start one ? 

Who else is applying?!

Oh good question... I submitted my application on 11/30 but my application was considered “complete” on the portal a couple weeks later because I opted for the online transcript entry service. They did send me the email about still getting decisions out by the week of Feb 1st, but maybe they just sent that to everyone in their system ?

Do you know when people might hear if their applications were submitted after the deadline? I wonder if it’s rolling at that point or all together based on the updated deadline.

I'm not sure what the process is for the next round, but I would absolutely email them and ask for clarification on the process!

Hi, the patho class is definitely not as intimidating as it seems. The professor is great and gives tons of resources. we had 4 days a week with office hours, exam review sessions done by TAs, group activities in class, and the professor gives a study template for all the diseases to fill out that includes everything you need to know. Most people really enjoy that class and learn a lot. I am from out of state and was not familiar with Boston at all so I used a realtor to find an apartment with another student but there are several websites for Boston housing that I know people used and the school has its own housing website with apartments and you can make a profile and search for other students who are also looking for housing. Pretty much all neighborhoods have street parking with a permit and some have street parking without a permit. Many areas also have off-street parking depending on where you live. You can get a parking pass from the school for class and it also works at the MGH garage for clinical.

Thank you for response. I am happy to hear positive things about patho. I will definitely utilize most of the resources given in class and attend review session. Do you find the program manageable? I am assuming classes and exams are still in person or is it virtual? If virtual, what do you think about virtual learning thus far? Did you pick your own classes or our schedules already done for us? How are clinical?

 

In regards to parking, where do you get the permit for street parking? Thank you for letting me know about the housing link offered through the school. What advise would you give to someone coming into program?

 

Fellow cohorts, if anyone looking for a roommate, let me know .

wait guys, did MGH extend their deadline? Because I just checked the website for the DE MSN program, and their deadline is now April 1, 2021 for fall? Wasn't it originally February?

Hello, What supplies/materials/resources are needed for nursing school, specific to this program? Is there a surplus supply resource for incoming nursing students? Thank you.

Also, in terms of preparation for day one. What supplies are needed before staring the program? Wanting to stock up now while I am working FT, such as uniforms, skills kit, nursing shoes, pen light, clinical patches, book bundle, etc. A list of supplies may be forthcoming.

Hello! I was just accepted into the women's health track as well. I knew nothing about Boston until I got accepted... so uughh housing is very expensive. Please let me know if you are looking for a roommate. Congrats on your acceptance.
