Hey pixies_fan. I applied to MUSC, UNC, Harvard, Case, and NYU. To answer your question, MUSC is definitely my first choice, and I am an in-state resident (Thank God!!). Have you seen the area? If you haven't, it's really, really nice. Zimaad, last year's class had an avg. gpa of 3.58 and DAT scores of AA=18.5, P=17.5 (I think), and my guess would be that they usually accept out-of-state people who have numbers greater than these. What about you pixies_fan, is MUSC your first choice? Oh..and I'm not sure how many interview invites they give to out-of-state applicants...I just know that they interview everyone who's applying in-state.
