Please PM the essays or lack thereof to me when the secondary is available and I will update this.

Good luck to everyone applying! :luck:

Awesome! Any way you can post the secondary questions?

In what region of the country do you want to practice medicine? Why?

What areas of medicine are you interested in at this time, or what areas do you plan to pursue?

Do you have any accomplishments or experiences that make you a unique applicant?

There are no essays on the application (for OOS). I called to verify earlier today. Just submitted my application!

I just realized that I have been posting in USCSM thread rather than MUSC. Sorry for the confusion guys. Please Ignore my posts above about not having secondary essay. I did not apply here. AdrinVeidt is correct!

Ha, I make the same mistake with the 'Georgetown' and 'George Washington' threads sometimes.

Email confirming my application was received today.
 
Anyone knows how friendly the school is to OOS?

Just got my secondary. How long do they expect the answers to these questions to be? There are a few lines for each question and I know it says we can attach more sheets if needed, but should I treat these questions like essay questions or just answer them?
 
II received on 8/12. Interview set for 9/11, who will I have the pleasure of meeting that day?

Does anyone think that these two questions are asking the same thing? How did you answer them?

"What are your medical practice goals?"
"What areas of medicine are you interested in at this time, or what areas do you plan to pursue?"
 
Can anyone restate the secondary essays? Also, what are the word limit?

THanks so much =]
 
Did you all write on the application or save and type it? I can't get it to save where I can edit...

Same. I assumed that they only provided a few lines because that's the length of answer they prefer. I figure they say that you can include typed pages because they don't want people writing in super tiny font and in the margins to get out everything they want to say.
 
ii invite today!!! :) so excited! i just mailed in my secondary last week though so now i'm afraid the email was just accidentally sent to me...
 
Don't fret, I got mine within about a week as well!
 
wooooop! excitement is back then! :)
 
Great! here's to hoping I hear back as quickly as you guys did. Sent it off today! :luck:
 
Awesome! Same here! I was actually quite surprised since I'm OOS and I haven't mailed in the secondary yet. However, they said that they need it by the 23rd, so I'm going to finish and mail it off tomorrow :)

II today! For October 30th.
