ogordon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Congrats to those have heard good news. Chris, I would definitely get some hours in and keep Me. Metz informed. Although I didn't get accepted last year, every major change I completed at Mr. Metz request I informed him about. I'm almost positive that would show your willingness and determination. Good luck next go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surg_PA Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Has anyone in regular admissions been invited for an interview yet?? Also, does anyone know if its more difficult for an out of state student to be accepted? I have met with them several times while in Charleston and they made a comment to me that it is more difficult for out-of-state students, because MUSC is the only PA program in the state of South Carolina so they take a majority of in state students. I have a friend applying to their medical school, and its the same for that program as well, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogordon Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Interview given via e-mail then should call. PrePA can you inbox me your info if you don't mind. I think it would be a good idea to know people at the interview to make the day less anxiety provoking! Congrats, look forward to meeting you. Mine said 10:55. Good luck to those waiting and interviewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie54 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Just joining the thread. I have an interview on the 18th . Does anyone know how many rounds of interviews we will go through that day? Are the interviews one on one, panel, group discussion or a combination? Congratulations to everyone that has already been accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awinfiel Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hello everyone! Congrats to all that have been accepted into the program already! Good luck to you all in May! I was wondering if anybody else had an interview on the 25th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keval415 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hey, does anyone know if interviews still happened today? I was thinking with all the bad weather they may have postponed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulan25 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Happy Sunday everyone, I interviewed at MUSC last Friday and absolutely loved the program. For those of you that interviewed early, I was wondering how many applicants they interviewed and if you know roughly how many got in? I'd guesstimate there were about 40 total last week (counting both groups) and assume there were about the same number this week. Just trying to figure out my chances so if anyone has any info I'd appreciate it! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeshmoe Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 For early interviews there were something like 32 interviewees per day (2 days early decision). I'm guessing it was the same for regular decision so I'm thinking they interviewed around 125-140 people all together early and regular decision.

dancinpa Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I interviewed early and was offered admission but ended up declining since I got into my top choice...Duke! Good luck to everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onalark Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 dancinpa - are you a college senior, recent grad or have you been out working in the healthcare field? I know Duke listed 1000+ hours of hands on experience preferred so wondered how closely they adhered to that - whatever you did it was good enough to gain acceptance into some good programs...thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Duke listed 1000+ hours of hands on experience preferred so wondered how closely they adhered to that - whatever you did it was good enough to gain acceptance into some good programs...thanks for the info After graduating a few years ago I started working full time as a CNA while taking prereq's. By the time I was ready to apply in August, I had almost 3000 hours of patient care experience. As far as I know Duke is pretty strict about the 1000 hour requirement. This is from Duke's website: A minimum of 1,000 hours of patient care experience is required with direct, "hands-on" patient contact (e.g., EMT or paramedic, health educator, RN, patient care attendant or nurse's aide, clinic assistant, Peace Corps volunteer or other cross-cultural health care experience, technologist, therapist, clinical research assistant, etc.). 1,000 hours of patient care experience must be completed no later than October 1, 2013.
