What are your general comments?

interview was great, have B average on all classes, i was accepted but refused.. i actually spoke to many students as well and I was totally discourage.. I spoke with 3 or 4 and they all pretty much gave me the 411 on being a student at mcpworchester. All regretted choosing the school b/c of the accelerated progra. Also heard and 25% of students do not graduate at worchestser, drop out or dismissed. In Boston campus, only 70% passing. The main discouragement is hearing 'stress-level' of school and to prepare to be unhealthy during your experience at worchester campus.
