   Yes, I do have a roommate. We both pay about 550 in rent and utilities/cable/internet/water end up costing another 150 monthly depending on what time of year it is (I'm in Mt. P). I have gotten a few small scholarships here and there, but nothing to ...

   You aren't allowed to take out loans OVER the amount they estimate the year will cost. So that figure (35,000) is going to be the absolute max amount you can receive from financial aid and loans combined. If you want $ over that (which it's doubtful ...

   Third semester student here, chiming in on a few things! 1) Location: It is absolutely cheaper to live outside of the Charleston area (i.e.-n.chas, ladson, summerville, park circle etc). However, if you plan to be involved in anything outside of scho...

   There were a few alternates from my cohort who found out three days before classes started! Most of them found out before that though, and by phone

   The "five hours" thing is just my way of saying they do it pretty quickly. Could be longer, could be shorter. I don't have any specific inside info on exactly how long it takes, I just know it's faster than you'd think (like it takes ~1 day to do fin...

    I honestly can't say for certain, but I feel like it probably was. I was all over this message board and I feel like the turnaround was pretty quick from when they met and when I found out. I am hoping you all find out today; I am nervous for my kin!...

    Yes! That is Mardi Long's number above^^. When I called last year I left a voicemail and she returned my call in 8 minutes. I think it was around 3 or 4 when I called. I am the alleged sister who will call at 2 for my poor nerve ridden sister :). If ...

    Also the financial aid email doesn't really indicate anything. I got the email but know others that did not. Also, if they haven't met yet (and if they say they haven't they probably haven't..they sit for like 5 hours and make decisions and then it's...

    Sorry for the delay dreamMUSC. As you can imagine I am very busy and don't think about this forum as much as I used to (hehe). I don't know that I have any especially exciting information to share about the program that you all haven't already heard,...

    Hey Spring hopefuls! I am a third semester student right now in the program. Just to address someone's question about how to find out about admissions: you can wait for your packet in the mail, or you can take a deep breath and pick up the phone and ...

    Randib07- I would recommend you have Mardi Long do an unofficial evaluation of your transcript and include a few more details about your past experiences. I did this last summer when I was starting to gear up for this whole process, and she helped to...
