Admissions Information

The Clinical-Community Program receives up to 300 requests for application materials each year, and of these approximately 50% complete the application procedures. Only about 6-8 new students are admitted each year. Files are evaluated in a holistic manner; however, the mean GRE Verbal + Quantitative scores of students offered admission have consistently exceeded 1200 with grade point ratios ranging from 3.4 to 4.0. Students who are made offers for admission often have either research or applied experiences in addition to their undergraduate degree.

The University of South Carolina is an affirmative action, equal opportunity institution. Minorities and members of other historically under-represented groups in our field are strongly encouraged to apply.
