Application Timeline

Thank you for applying to the MUSC College of Medicine. The College participates in the American Medical College Application Service and our application process is delivered through WebAdMIT, a AAMC product.

Each year, the AMCAS application opens in early May. The Office of Admissions will review submitted AMCAS applications once the application has been verified from AMCAS (which may take up to four to six weeks). Applicants will be notified when their verified AMCAS application has been received and a supplemental application will be sent to applicants through the Applicant Gateway of WebAdMIT.

Admissions files are considered complete upon receipt of the verified AMCAS application and submission of the MUSC supplemental application. Upon review of the completed application, qualified applicants will move forward in the admissions process with an invitation for a virtual interview through Zoom. Applicants invited to interview are encouraged to visit the Interview Process webpage for insight into the Virtual Interview Day, expectations, etc.
