any oos get a secondary yet after the initial essay thing?

i haven't gotten one yet. They told me at an admissions thing that they didn't start reviewing oos apps until mid-November. So hopefully that means we might get something soon

once you’re put on hold you won’t hear again until you are accepted off hold or placed on the Waitlist or rejected in March/April

Gotcha. Thanks for lmk

I'm an OOS reapplicant and didn't get an II til February last year for reference

 

[problemsalways]

Has anyone from the recent accepted batch received the acceptance packet yet

 

[sciencerules135]

Has this school started to review OOS applicants yet or sent the second secondary?

 

[medapplicant111]

Did anyone get accepted after being put on hold?

 

[brownf44]

Does anyone know if this school accepts letters of intent?

 

[my existential crisis]

Did anyone get accepted after being put on hold?

I was put on hold October 31st and haven't heard anything since.

I spoke to a current student who's friends with a person in admissions, and she said that MUSC won't start interviewing OOS applicants until the new year (take with a grain of salt), but it makes sense.

Same! Thanks

SMH especially after one of the physicians I interviewed with told me I was "probably going to get in" lol

 

[jcm04]

Does anyone know if this school accepts letters of intent?

MSTP director said they do accept them and they are a significant factor in their decision

 

[sciencerules135]

do they accept pre-II updates/ letters of interest? How do you submit?

 

[jcm04]

do they accept pre-II updates/ letters of interest? How do you submit?

Not sure but I would guess so. And I think email since there's no portal.

hopefully we get in later lol

Same thing happened to me, just have to have hope! We could be at the top of the hold list you never know

 

[myaaeve123]

do they accept pre-II updates/ letters of interest? How do you submit?

Yes, last year I got my II like a week or 2 after I submitted one

 

[sciencerules135]

Yes, last year I got my II like a week or 2 after I submitted one

Did you email it to them? I am OOS and don't know if it would make an impact.

 

[sciencerules135]

Did anyone who submitted an update letter get the weird admissions inquiry email? Does that mean they received it?

 

[hard-boiled-egg]

Hey all I am a current musc student and remember checking this last year with questions. Please be free to ask questions and whenever I can I’ll respond.

I had a few questions I wasn't really able to find answers to (or I don't remember from my interview day):

What's the culture like? MUSC is my top choice but i'm concerned with being able to find a good group of friends with a class size that large, I don't want to get lost in the sea of people.
How annoying is the parking situation?
How often do you have to go in for mandatory things? Are tests based on in house lectures or are third party resources commonly used to score well?
Does the school do social events or do people just stick to their friend groups?
How hard is it to find research connections/EC activities? I know it's a research powerhouse but with the class size I am worried about things being sharked up quickly. (I do remember this being discussed during interview but idk if I was getting the real answer)

How many OOS are there typically in a class?

 

[nadalfan22]

Has MUSC rejected anyone post interview or does everyone not accepted get placed on hold?

 

[pankofries]

Does anyone know when they will send out financial information like scholarships?

 

[chssoccer7]

Got my acceptance packet today, I know a few people mentioned they were waiting for theirs

 

[myaaeve123]

Has MUSC rejected anyone post interview or does everyone not accepted get placed on hold?

Everyone gets placed on hold I believe until further in the cycle

 

[sciencerules135]

Have any OOS students heard anything

 

[DocFloc]

Have any OOS students heard anything

I haven't

Yes I got really busy. Hopefully you all will be this busy a year from now! MUSC is huge but you make friends pretty easily. Between small groups and seminars and anatomy you can make friends. It is very large though. The parking situation sucks honestly. Park at Hagood and they have a shuttle that takes you to campus (7 min ride). Each week I would say we have an average of 2-3 days of mandatory lectures or activities. Those may last 1 hour a day or may be 4-5. Average is 2 hours when there are mandatories. Tests are based off of in house lectures and are really fair. Most people do well. I don’t use any third party resources and still do well. There are social events but not too often. Don’t have much time anyways. I haven’t started research but I believe it won’t be too hard to find something but I am not entirely sure.

 

[medschoolappssuck]

Not too many. I think 2027 might have 10-15

I agree with everything this person said. I will add that 180 is large but not too big. If you apply yourself properly you will not get swallowed up.
