Hey! Just wondering if anyone out there has applied for the MUSC BSN Program for Fall 2014??? I plan on applying this December so just want to know if any other applicants are out there or if anyone knows any tips that you could provide for getting in :) thanks in advance!!!
Haha thanks guys....I just wish I would know now, and not a week before school starts, if I will be getting a spot or not...makes it a little hard to plan-especially since I am currently working full time. But I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best! Hopefully they will get those dang letters out soon so people can start making decisions!
APriest, thanks for your PM. First, unfortunately when calling they don't tell you your spot on the alternate list. I literally bugged them every other week asking questions if there was anything else I could do to either get ready if I was chosen or to reapply and make myself a better candidate. I doubt it helped any that I was showing interest in the program or keeping my name fresh in their mind but I'm sure it didn't hurt either. I believe I was one of the first alternates chosen though and then there were several more selected after me, including the ones days before class started. I wouldn't get too hung up on GPA as a determinant of your spot. I had a 3.27 cum (higher prereqs and science averages) volunteer experience, and good LOR. From what the program director told me, there's sometimes a few people don't send back their letters of intent and then they'll pick from the alternate list. Last semester, everyone send back the letters, but they also told me it's very normal for people to decline and drop out once people start working through financial aid 1-2 months before classes start. Not sure if this is any help but don't despair.
