Dukes2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wow, I never expected so many of us to still be left in the dark. This is probably just wishful thinking on my part but it's possible that because the applicant pool was so big/ with a lot of great applicants that they haven't made all of their final decisions and phone calls yet. It's easier said than done but it's out of our hands so I guess try not to think about it too much. Happy Thanksgiving! Perfect day to go eat my feelings now......

mlp9081 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well, happy thanksgiving everyone! My feelings are the same as everyone else.. It really sucks having to go through this and be thinking the worst during the holidays.. But guess there's nothing we can do about it. Maybe they will still make calls Monday! You never know... Has anyone actually gotten a rejection/waitlist email yet?? Can't believe they would wait til Monday morning after the holiday to send all those out.... Errrgh :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaCat5 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Nope I haven't gotten an email or a phone call. Well I'll just use Thanksgiving as an excuse to go eat my feelings. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and congrats to those who got accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wareagle223 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Right as I said that, I got an email. Waitlisted! But they don't say how many are on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlp9081 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Wait listed. There's a lot of us! I wonder if everyone gets sent the alternate email .. Or what the percentage of alternate/rejections is. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukes2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah there are a ton of us! I read somewhere that grad schools typically take an alternate list that's about the same size as the entering class but I have no idea how MUSC does it. Congrats to everyone who got in and good luck to everyone else on the wait list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhw Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know I was accepted, but have decided to attend a program closer to home. Don't give up those who were wait listed! I was wait listed to interview with MUSC and ended up with an acceptance. Stay positive! Good luck!

mlp9081 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have a question.. Im on the wait list and I have one course I still need to take. It's just a behavioral science course but my question is- do I spend money to take it right away in case I get in or?? Apparently nothing will be waived. Not sure what to do... :/ it's hard not knowing but I guess I have no choice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilycolli Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I DID go ahead and spend a lot of time and money on taking Biochemistry and Medical Terminology to expand my options of schools I could apply. I think taking classes while working in a hospital helped show schools that I am actively working towards PA school and helped me get an interview. However, I was accepted to MUSC that doesn't require Biochemistry. Do you think I will be required to report my grade anyways? My final is tomorrow and am getting anxious!

MHAgrad13 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Got my rejection email this morning. Sigh. Oh well, I knew it was a long shot at best. I'll follow my plan, finish my pre-reqs, and hopefully be able to accumulate ~500 hours or more by the time the application cycle starts again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerpa Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Got my rejection email this morning. Sigh. Oh well, I knew it was a long shot at best.

futurepa41 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Received my rejection letter today, the letter stated "As a point of reference, average math/science, prerequisite, and cumulative GPAs from applicants invited for interviews this admission cycle are as follows: Math/Science: 3.84; Prerequisite: 3.90 ; Cumulative: 3.73." This is a little outrageous considering that the average gpa for the current class of medical students at MUSC is 3.60. Oh well, congratualtions to everyone who was accepted!

nmg930 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 @emilycolli yes you will have to report the scores. @futurepa41 my class and the class below me at MUSC PA had average gpas in that range you gave. it's ridiculously competitive...BUT all of you on the wait list..DON'T LOSE HOPE! There is a decent group from my class and I think the class below too that were on the wait list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxs Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I decided to give up my spot to attend a different school so someone from the waiting list should be offered admission from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmh327 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Just because I'm dying over here and there were so many of us... Has anyone from the alternate list heard anything?? Or have ideas when we possibly might? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlp9081 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm waiting too in hopes of getting off the wait list! It seems from viewing last years thread that a couple people found out the same day in Feb. I think it was. They probably wait for quite a few to drop before they meet and make decisions on the next group of acceptances. I still wonder how many people are on the wait list.. I really think it was everyone else who didn't get an acceptance ????. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
