What are your general comments?

mcphs is in a great area, its in a giant medical community and across the street from harvard med school. its nice to be in an area where there are so many college students. my interview was great, and fairly easy. the only down side is that as a transfer student id be in a class with a bunch of kids. there's also a highschool vibe with mcphs-boston cuz everyone is so young. its definitely not the crowd for me even though the program is good and the area is fun. i would have gone there if i didnt get into usc....;0).
