As an accepted student, thought it would be a good idea to start this thread to see who else is attending MUSC. This could provide possible roommate avenues and any insider tips for living in Charleston and attending MUSC.

It was a while back, around New Years, I believe. They sent an email and apologized for the delay and that it took so long.
Wondering if this great profile you have is pretty much what all of the others in your class have too...congrats and much success to you!
I know several other accepted students with lower composite numbers than either of us that got in ED. There is still hope. I don't believe that MUSC fills their class with ED after talking with an admissions officer.
Thank you! Would you say that about half get into the program in the ED cycle?
I wouldn't say half, but my best guess would be a little more than that. Most schools send out far more accepted letters than there are spots in the class as a lot decline or choose to go to other schools. I saw a stat that last year MUSC sent out close to 120 letters both ED and regular decision. I dont think that half of those spots were filled with ED.
Congrats! Do you mind sharing your stats?..I applied regular decision, the waiting is killing me
Gre was 314 Q was 153 and V was 161
Cum gpa was only 3.17 (almost flunked out my frshman year but was able to maintains a 4.0 last 70 or so hrs to bring it up.)
Prerequisite gpa was around 3.80 depending on school (some use psych class and other stuff some don't)
Loads of extracurricular activities rng from tutoring for major to leadership activities on campus. Including lab assistant to full wet human anatomy lab.
500+ hours of clinical observation in 6 different settings
Also worked a full time restaurant management position for last 5 years. (Not that it has anything to do with pt directly but I've been told doing well in undergrad while working full time looks good to some postgrad schools) if u want any other info will provide.

So I was also told that when the class was filled everyone on the alternate list would receive an email however today is the first day of orientation and I have not heard anything. Is this normal? Are they waiting to see who shows up for orientation? I keep thinking I have missed an important email or haven't received one because of the system issues MUSC has had this year.
