Has anyone heard from MUSC?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
lol good luck. My app was verified very early during the last cycle and I was notified of admission on 1/27. Patience.

The deadline was moved up to October 2nd this year as opposed to early November. Considering the deadline was moved up a month, do you suppose MUSC will send out notifications earlier than last cycle?

Our OT/PT club is hosting a panel with them this week so I am going to ask! I'm really hoping so!
 
Does anyone know when MUSC will start sending acceptances/waitlist information?

I was told January by someone high up in the faculty but the end of November by someone in administration
 
Can anyone that got accepted to MUSC share their stats? Would love to know where I stand in comparison. I received a waitlist email today.
 
Or can anyone that also got waitlisted share their stats? So we can compare

"Although we are not able to offer you a definite position in the Class of 2021 at this time, your qualifications are very good, and we have placed your name on a list of potential alternates."
Is this what everyone's alternate email said? "very good?"

Sadly declining the offer from MUSC. Just can't justify the cost vs. other offers. Good luck all!
 
For those accepted from the waitlist in past years or anyone in the program currently, do you know the odds of being pulled off MUSC’s waitlist? Or know anything about it at all? The email says we can’t inquire about our position etc and I’m so curious. Any info will help, thanks!
