Jocapa93 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Same here. Not the news I wanted to receive but for those who got waitlisted, don't give up! Best of luck to everyone. I was wondering the same thing @Hopewhitaker.... do those that do not get acceptance calls, automatically get placed on their alternate for admission list? Do any 1st year PA students know how to answer this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasi07 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I got the alternate / waitlist email around 230. Is alternate the same as waitlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also received the waitlist email! Trying to stay positive. I called at around 3:00 today right after getting the waitlist email and Meghan said they have sent out all 60 initial offers. Also wondering what percentage of/how many applicants are put on waitlist? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess there is still a small amount of hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaiLai2017 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi friends! Congrats to everyone who got accepted thus far. I got a call and email yesterday saying I got accepted, but I got accepted into UAB two weeks ago and already sent in my money.... so I’m giving up my seat today. Stay hopeful for anyone who got waitlisted- your time is coming! GOOD LUCK!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharri20 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hey everyone don't be discouraged if you were placed on the waitlist several people from class of 2020! Were on the waitlist. People get accepted to other schools etc so they give up their seat, some people don't pay their deposits in time, some people don't complete course they were supposed to. So don't give up hope. I was pulled off the waitlist and one girl was pulled off the waitlist 2 days before the program started. You have a chance from now to the 1st day of the program to be called. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerardo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hey guys, I got several messages about the links in your orientation emails not working. Can somebody confirm if this is working now? If not, I can follow up with whoever is in charge of working on this. Little update: Sorry for not replying so promptly to all of your emails. I know I've gotten several from you all. Our First Year Liaisons are currently setting up a social media account so that you all can meet and get to know each other for the coming Summer Semester (only a little over 5 months from now!) That's exciting! A few tips: 1. If you are planning on living on the peninsula/downtown, just plan on getting roommate so that you can get a lower rate with your monthly housing/apartment rents. 2. If you are living a little outside the peninsula (West Ashley, Mount Pleasant, James Island, North Charleston) try to stay in a least less than a 5-10 mile range. The traffic coming in can get pretty crazy. 3. We have free public bus services that can take you to and from campus if you want to save money on gas. Only caveat is that you have to work on their schedule. 4. Hagood Garage parking is free, big, but not a guaranteed spot. 5. You can also pay for guaranteed garage every semester. 6. For the type A people (probably mostly all of you. haha!), if you must, you can start brushing up on Anatomy and Physiology because that will be the bulk of your summer semester. 7. I HIGHLY recommend for all of you just relax and enjoy your time. Go hiking, spend time with family, drink some beers, etc. I worked until two days before summer semester started and if I had a choice, I would probably stop working a month before school started. 8. Just like what Daresha said, there are people from my class who got called in literally one week before school started. So for those who are waitlisted, please don't lose hope! If you guys have any further questions, feel free to email me (santiago@musc.edu) and congrats Class of 2021!!! Gerardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer11 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hey everyone! I was pulled from the waitlist just a couple of days ago. I wanted to reach out to find out if there is a facebook page/website with the accepted students and possible living arrangements. I'm not sure if anyone checks this page anymore, but I thought i'd go ahead and ask anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
