If only you weren't so expensive for out-of-staters....still applying and will pray for help. Beautiful city, underrated school.

Come on, no MUSC love here?
I was thinking about it, not a lot of OOS love though so I probably won't apply here
I'd love to go to MUSC. Does anyone know how much state ties play a factor? I was born and raised in SC, lived there for 21 years, moved to Georgia 4 years ago to "escape" (and to live with my then-girlfriend, whom I will be marrying next April) and became a resident. My father, uncle, and grandparents still live there, and my fiance's aunt, uncle, and grandparents all lived there as well (before they passed). I know their OOS selection is very small, so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth applying.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. 🙂

Won't hurt to try, I think you should go ahead an apply. I really have no idea how much state ties will play a role, but it can't hurt if you were born and raise there.
good luck!
I will be applying at MUSC. Instate student

I am a USC fan and finished my pre-reqs there.
Does anyone know when the secondary will come out for this application cycle?
It looks like the first report of one from last year was July 2nd, so maybe July 5th this year, as that will be the following Monday (only guessing though).
Just got the secondary email. Have not checked it out, I am at work and will do so later. But it is definitely out.
Got one too. I'm OOS and have fairly loose ties to SC but I love the school so we'll see how it goes.
Anyone know how much weight is given to the "close-ties" designation?

Does anyone know when is the earliest interview?
Bad news for out of staters, here's what my status says:
"Out of state resident files will be reviewed in Nov & Dec. for possible interviews in the spring." 👎

I was wondering if USC would increase the acceptance number this year because of new four year program in Gville.

You realize this is a thread for MUSC, not USC right? Whats with the people posting in here about other schools...? Charleston > Columbia
Hey guys. Does anyone have any updates on how their application is going etc.

Just an email confirming that they have received my secondary.
Did you get this after submitting the online part? I checked my online application progress and it says they received my demographic, supplementary, and primary but the comments part is blank. Same for you?

Mine says the same thing. I emailed and asked if I need to send anything else. they said my application is complete but it would September before they review my app since I'm not a ED.

Any Updates?
They are looking at early decision applicants right now, probably won't hear until they get through them

It looks like the first RD interviews for IS went out 9/15 last year.

I think you should be fine. No way do you need a 40+, a kid with a 39 got the full ride for this coming class.
Well this makes me at least a little more optimistic 😳. I'm certainly no 'stellar applicant' though so we'll see how it goes.

I know it's still early, but is anybody else getting anxious as well?
Can someone please post the prompt for the secondary?
It would be a big help! Thanks!

What makes you say it's underrated?
Right here! I can't decide if I like USCSOM or MUSC more......
I have visited both schools and like each of them. I would say main differences would come down to smaller class size and more one on one help at USC but musc has more diversity in rotations for 3rd and 4th year and better reputation overall.
USC's ultrasound curriculum is quite interesting and one of the main reasons the school is in the running with MUSC in my books. http://www.med.sc.edu/3.asp
Haha same here. but I am an IS MSTP Applicant. rrama I will see you there! 🙂
