Any updates yet? I just checked my application and nothing has changed.
Sorry it doubled.

Hi, I think Priority applicants can expect to hear back in writing by September 30th. Regular applicants soon after that. Assuming nothing gets delayed with the hurricane of course!

There was a mandatory evacuation of Charleston County. Nothing could have happened since Tuesday when the evacuation was called and the school closed until further notice... and depending on what happens with the storm now - nothing will happen for a few more days. The rain hasn't started yet (I'm on the same latitude as Charleston - just a bit more inland). We have gusts, but no steady wind or rain yet. It is really going to depend on the severity of flooding that Charleston experiences as to when they can actually go back. The storm should be gone by Monday - but I don't know when they will re-open roads to allow residents to return, then the water has to be gone for students and faculty to safely return. Its put a time damper on for sure.

Initially I was expecting to hear by the end of next week - now I'm thinking it will be an additional week if there was minimal rain/storm surge in Charleston and everyone is allowed back in on Monday. I would think a week minimum after they are allowed to return. Remember mail service is suspended there as well, so it will take time to finish processing all of the regular candidates and I felt like they looked at all the regular candidates as well before finalizing priority candidates. Just my personal thoughts though.

School was opened back up on Monday. The feed I saw a few years ago when a similar hurricane event happened put them behind 2 weeks I believe. Hopefully we'll hear something soon!

Just found this thread! I am also waiting to hear back regarding priority admissions. On their website they extended regular admissions from Sept 15th to the 22nd. So maybe we will hear back later

I just heard back regarding acceptance! So keep an eye on your emails everyone (:

Also, not sure if a Facebook group will be eventually set up for this but I'm coming from out of state and will be looking for housing/roommate :) just throwing that out there in case anyone else is in the same boat!

Hold tight on starting or joining a fb group yet. I read something thay said fb groups werent allowed. Ill see if I can find it again... pretty sure it was in the handbook. There is another forum we are allowed to use in its place.

Same boat with housing, I am also coming from out of state

"While students are in the program, faculty and students are not to engage on any mutual social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Students can use Yammer, the MUSC approved social media vehicle for internal group communications, to create class groups." (page 25)

Handbook dated 8/18

I just don't want to get thrown out before I've even been pinned in!!

So are they sending emails? Thought it was coming in the mail. I wonder if local people will come in the mail....I applied for priority so I'm going to assume I didn't get in priority and need to wait for regular admission.
