Hi Samiam! I went to MGH IHP open house and fell in love with the program. It basically checked all the boxes and felt like the right fit for me. I was worried about tuition being do pricey, but since they have what I want, I think it's worth it. Overall there seemed to be an immense amount of opportunities offered by the school in adult, school, pediatric, and hospital work, which was a huge plus. I have a lot of interests in the field such as Autism, motor speech disorders, voice disorders, and medical slp, and I'm unsure which direction I am going to go, so all the opportunities for various areas in the SLP realm were important to me. I am really interested in their research labs and projects and definitely want to be a GA or volunteer in a few of the labs. Also, I really like that they give you 3 long term placements, and when I talked to the students, they all like their placements and thought they were being prepared well. They talk with each student and personalize placements for each of them based of their wants and needs. I really like the purpose of the impact center, and I like that they have you collaborate with other students in different health professions on a client to teach you the importance of each person's role and how working together benefits the client. I really like they have a huge faculty with various specialties and their elective courses they let you pick from seem really cool. A big factor was the feel of the faculty. The faculty seemed very warm, welcoming and supportive. Even though its a large cohort(60), they divide you into tiny groups and smaller groups to give you the adequate attention and support that you need. The faculty seemed that they work hard to support all students in the best way they can, and I got the impression they were very caring and understanding towards students. Overall it seemed like a very supportive based program that would challenge me and give me endless opportunities in the various areas in the SLP realm. I made a pros and cons list for each of my schools, and the only con for MGH IHP for me was tuition, whereas there were program based cons for my other schools. MGH IHP was always one of my top choices, but after visiting, I realized it was basically my dream program. Sorry that was so long! I just wrote everything I could think of off the top of my head. I hope some of this helps! Good luck with your decision. I know choosing as school is stressful AF. If you choose MGH IHP, I'll see you there ?

I committed to MGH IHP, and I'm super excited! Is there a facebook page yet? Has anyone got access to their housing portal(I've heard about it, but I'm not sure it's a thing)? I live in California, and I'm not sure how to find roommates and housing.

Accepted offer: MGH IHP Declined offers: Kent State University, Washington State University, University of Redlands, San Francisco State University. I hope this helps those on the waitlist! Best of luck ?
