I also got accepted and got a phone call same day as Maxx Powers. I got my letter yesterday!
Congrats!! I interviewed the same day, but didn’t hear anything. I’m assuming that’s not good news. Seriously though, that’s awesome and congratulations.

Thank you so much MollieBeth! Don't assume anything just yet and definitely email/call schools because I feel like that made a difference for me. Last round I never called or emailed. and this round I started emailing. Dental schools really want to see that you want that seat!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I guess I will still eagerly await by my mailbox. Haha.

So I would talk about why I felt the school appealed to me and why I would be a great fit. For Charleston I talked about how it was my top choice, as its very close to home (I made it sound much better than that though, but that's basically what I said). I just wanted them to know that even though I went to school in the southwest and northeast, I am still very much tied to GA/SC area. Also, I mentioned what I was doing right now to make my application stronger. I applied last round and was rejected so I enrolled in a Post-bacc and I explained a lot of dental-related classes I am currently taking, etc. I can't stress enough how much of a difference an email or phone call can make.
 
Also, it was after my email I wrote to MUSC that I got the phone call for an interview.
I emailed on a Friday they replied 3 days later (Monday) and then called 3 hours later inviting me for an interview.
 
Does anybody know if MUSC uses a grading scale or is it pass/fail?

Grading scale. (some are P/F but those are usuall courses for accreditation)
4.0 = 95% and thne each % drops 0.10 of GPA point (e.g. a 94% is 3.9). until you get a 75% (= 2.0) , then its 74 = 1.8, 73 = 1.6, 72 = 1.4, 71 = 1.2, 70 =1.0, <70 =0.0 (You have to repeat or remediate of you get below a 70%.
 
I received a letter that I have been placed on the alternate list this evening. Does anyone know the chances of acceptance after being placed on this list?
