I've applied to BC, Simmons, and MGH. At first, BC was my first choice because it's shorter (2 years as opposed to 3). Then, I liked Simmons best because I heard great things about how competent...
I applied to BC, Simmons, and MGH. Glad to hear MGH sends decisions in early to mid-Feb. I understand BC sends decisions early, too. Anyone know what Simmons does?
