First-Year Pre-Medical Community Online Application

Becoming a physician, dentist, optometrist, or veterinarian is more than a hope or a dream—it is a calling. Hard work and perseverance will be required throughout your undergraduate education to reach this goal. Medical schools require strong academic and medical entrance examination (MCAT) performance. Health-related community service, shadowing, and work experience will also enhance your application. University Housing and the Office of Pre-Professional Advising have developed the First-Year Pre-Medical living and learning community for students who want assistance preparing for success in the pre-medical curriculum.

Have you completed the standard housing application online through VIP located at http://www.vip.sc.edu? If no, DO NOT submit this application. We can not consider your request without a paid housing application on file with the University of South Carolina.
