This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I know MUSC doesnt review OOS students until November but has any OOS heard anything yet? Love south carolina/Charleston and have family in the area so I would love to go here!
I'm OOS (strong ties) and I was invited for an interview late October that's scheduled for January

dang thanks for the update - I dont really have strong ties, but I do have family in the area. Bummer. Congrats to you though!
 
I submitted my application really early (7/13) so they could just be getting around to yours 🙂

thanks for the optimism but I unfortunately also submitted around that time haha. Good luck at your interview though and thanks for replying!
 
On 12/1 I got an interview for December 15th. I was very surprised considering the short notice they gave me. Should I be concerned? Is anyone else interviewing on this date?
 
Accepted!!!! 🙂 I'm extremely grateful.

Anyone know if the deposit to hold the spot is refundable? I have interviews scheduled after the deadline to reply.

did you interview last month?
 
IS submitted 8/15 and still haven't heard anything from here, any other IS applicants in the same pool?

I was complete a fair amount of time after you (early October due to a September MCAT) and haven't heard anything as an IS applicant either. Patience is a virtue.

Yes. I interviewed in november. Was notified the day they said they would be making decisions. I was just a little tardy putting the news in here 🙂
 
Hold email today 🙁 . I'm assuming the likelihood of being accepted now is low
 
Are we supposed to receive any more information after we submit are acceptance payment to MUSC, or do we just wait until March/April for further instruction?

I got a confirmatory email about a week after they received my deposit.
 
It seems interview lead times are really short at the moment. II on Sunday for the coming Friday. 5 days?! IS
 
When were you complete? Do you have close ties? Sorry.... Paranoid OOS here... complete since September.

I completed on 8/24/17
I have moderate ties to the state. My mom grew up, went to college, and attended a different state medical school. I visit family in South Carolina during the holidays but haven't lived in the state or anything.
In terms of stats I had a very high MCAT and average GPA when compared to the school's average from last class
 
FYI - At my interview, adcoms said they would meet again on Feb 6th to release more decisions.

About how long did it take for MUSC to charge you for the deposit? I’m going on day seven without seeing the check clear my checking account.
