I've been browsing a lot of threads but can't really find any answers I'm looking for and I'm hoping that I am not the only one with these questions...I plan on applying to MUSC for Spring '10 and I am curious about those of you who recently were accepted:
what was your GPA? - do they combine previous college degree GPA's with most current or just take most current?
SAT/ACT score?
In-state/out-of-state?
work experience/volunteer experience? How much experience?
Race/Ethnicity (just wondering how diverse the program is - you don't have to answer if you don't want to!!)
I know it's a competitive school, I keep going back and forth about my chances of getting in, but trying to stay positive!!!
My essay (for fall '09 - accepted!) was 477 words. It was a little over a page long when double spaced. If you have any questions about the essay (or anything else) email someone at the College of Nursing to ask about it. Everyone there is super nice. Even if you email a question to someone who can't answer it, they'll forward your email to someone who can. (They've done that plenty of time for me!) Good luck, guys!
Good Morning All! I submitted my application last week. It is in fact only a 100 word essay. I confirmed with one of the admissions counselors. I was also told that they no longer require SAT or ACT scores. They use 3 different GPA's - 1 based on Science classes only, 1 based on prereq classes and 1 cumulative. They also look for folks with either Healthcare Volunteer experience or Healthcare work experience. I'm sure there are exceptions but this is what was shared with me from the Admissions office. Good luck everyone!
