Nevermind. I found it on their website.

"No pre-admission testing is required, such as the GRE, SAT, or TEAS."

Does anyone know when we should hear something?

I think if you applied by the priority deadline (Nov 15), you will hear by the end of December 2017!!! I also think it is a binding decision, so if they accept you I think you are required to go there.

Don't mean to sound ill-informed, but may I ask you what you mean by a binding decision. This is the first time I heard that.

When you apply somewhere for early admission, it is typically a binding decisions, meaning, if they accept, you have to attend. Usually they say that in a priority application to let you know that's how it works. If you are applying for regular admission you should hear late february/early march, since they do not start looking at applications until jan 8th for regular admission.

Do you think it is unprofessional if you reject their offer? For example, if you get in somewhere else before they give you a decision at MUSC.

Thank you for the response! MUSC is the only school I applied for so if I get in I'll definitely be honored to attend. Now just time to wait

Congrats! Just got accepted as well! Wow, so excited! Can we reach out to the school about financial aid/scholarhips, etc? Should we do it directly or will they reach out to us? Any thoughts on this?

Do we need to just send one initial transcript or a transcript every time a course is completed?

apk2009 · Dec 12, 2017

If you are missing prereq's and already sent your transcript in I would send in another one if you had prequesites from this semester...are you already accepted?
