When I interviewed, Dr. Underwood gave the impression that those on the wait list stood a good chance of getting in. Nothing's guaranteed, of course.Is there a good chance of acceptance off the alternate list? How many ppl are typically placed on the alternate list?
Congrats! Fingers crossed that you're high up on the list.Got an e-mail saying I was placed on the alternate list a few hours ago! interviewed in early November
Have an admitted students received any correspondence from the school like the tuition bill?
All medical schools whether you're IS or OOS are hard to get into. If you're applying from OOS, you should have a strong connection to either the state or the city that the school is in. Also, for med schools in general, you probably want to have around a 3.7uw and be around the 80th percentile for the MCATIs this school really difficult to get into as an OOS applicant? I am AA Female with 3.5uw 3.3 science gpa, 499 mcat.
Yes. Less than 20% of the class is OOS (probably ~20 spots) and like 3000 or 4000 people apply OOS. Check MSAR. Those accepted typically have strong ties to the state and/or great stats.Is this school really difficult to get into as an OOS applicant? I am AA Female with 3.5uw 3.3 science gpa, 499 mcat.

MUSC College of Medicine Facts and StatsI was under the impression they hardly even took 5% OOS but perhaps that's an old or inaccurate stat.

This page says 19 out of the current 166 M1s are OOS. So maybe closer to 10%. I believe most public (state) programs cap the number of OOS students since IS tuition is subsidized by tax dollars.
BUMP ... has anyone heard anyone getting off the list yet?/ how far down the list do they usually get?
The MSAR says that they put 25-30 people on the waitlist and typically end up accepting 15.
Congratulations!!Accepted IS off the alternate list today.
I know of four others who have been accepted off of the IS alternate list. So it is moving, good luck to everyone!Congratulations!!
