Has anyone who was accepted on December 16th gotten the acceptance packet yet? I am terrified it went to my spam or got lost!

nope, still haven't received it yet.

For OOS applicants that have completed the supplementary essays, but have not received a secondary invitation yet, is it safe to say that we are out of the running?

Assuming you mean for the next cycle and not this one, yes. IS preference for the SC schools is huge. Several of our class have stats close to yours (most of the class has a higher MCAT though), but I would definitely retake your MCAT if you can. A few more points would make a big improvement in your chances.

Just got my packet today

yeah that makes sense, but this 503 is my second mcat so idk if i want to retake for a third time, what do you think? I have used up all my resources and feel like my score could be inflated but not too sure. I want to still apply and maybe focus on making my app stronger since I do have a low mcat but i dont know if that would help or taking the mcat again

Pre-II R OOS

Post-II on hold IS - can someone please explain in more detail what this means? I’m not sure if this is a “soft rejection” or if it’s normal for most applicants to be put on hold before acceptance

pretty sure no one post II has been rejected as far as i know. so we’ll most likely be waiting to see which of us make the waitlist in march

 

[futuredoc2023843803]

Still on committee hold for around a month or so. Anyone else in the same boat? Starting to get nervous.

 

[eagledoc99]

Any idea when they send IIs for OOS students?

Same here. They should be giving us an update around early March.

I just got the secondary app just now! Completed supp questions back in late July

 

[anonapp345]

Just got a secondary invite, OOS with strong ties to Charleston. Had already given up hope on here lol

 

[throway492859]

Is it just me or am I not able to select a term under program selection for MD??

 

[eagledoc99]

I can't either

 

[wildcactus43]

OOS Secondary with strong SC ties 🙂

Also, I am having the same issue.

 

[scientisticy5325]

I am so confused, do we have to submit different secondary prompts as OOS students? I am looking at the secondary prompts and they are the exact same ones I submitted for the pre-screen/secondary questions

 

[eagledoc99]

Does getting the official secondary mean we will get an II? Or does everyone get the secondary?

 

[scientisticy5325]

Not everyone gets a secondary but at the same time getting a secondary does not guarantee that you will get an interview

Update, just got an II!!!!! Submitted my secondary this morning so very very shocked

 

[throway492859]

Also got OOS II yesterday, very excited! Does anyone know if the interviews are open or closed file?

 

[plantivy767]

Interviews are half closed I believe. They have your letters, personal statement and AMCAS application, but GPA and test scores are omitted.

 

[plantivy767]

did anyone send a letter of interest between their interview day and decision day? if so- do you recommend it?

 

[wildcactus43]

It looks like they technically don’t allow them according to their website. https://medicine.musc.edu/education/medical-students/admissions/applying/updates

Let me know if you find out something different though!

 

[lotasparkle]

IS A from hold!

I interviewed in November and re-interviewed in December

 

[plantivy767]

IS A! Interviewed 1/27

 

[throway492859]

Omg congrats yall!! i remember in my interview that they said march 20th we should find out but i wonder if they’re going early 😭

 

[futurephyz]

Congrats!! Did you send a letter of intent or any updates after you were placed on hold?

 

[lotasparkle]

No, I didn’t send anything/give any updates!

 

[FutureDoc2003]

Is anyone going to the SLW bringing a parent as a guest? Or just going alone?

 

[eagledoc99]

How are recent interviewees feeling about this Thursday😭? Also, will we get a call or an email?

I’m trying to not think about it but i'm anxious 😭

 

[anonapp345]

I'm an absolutely massive ball of stress right now since this is the last school that could save me from being a waitlist warrior/reapplicant 😭. I really love the school too, but have no idea what to feel since two of my interviewers were a bit awkward and closed off. But I think As should be a call based on reports from the December decision release?

 

[hopefuldoc7381]

anyone still on hold since mid november? i’m IS and interviewed in october, my email said we would hear back by early march on a final decision. also anyone know if people typically get accepted off hold at this point or just waitlist/reject?

 

[throway492859]

Do we know what time decisions come out 😭 I’m nervous asf

 

[eagledoc99]

[mrperkins63]

Please let me know if you find out! Also waiting :/

 

[Doglover521]

Has anyone heard anything?

 

[throway492859]

Has anyone heard anything?

nothing yet i don’t think 😭 based on previous years people were getting calls as late as 6 and even 7

 

[hopefuldoc7381]

does admissions call or is it your interviewer?

 

[eagledoc99]

OOS A 😭!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

 

[scientisticy5325]

Hold

 

[wildcactus43]

OOS A. God is great.

 

[Doglover521]

Hold

Does your hold email say “decisions will be released in early march”, I am wondering if that is a typo?
