   How it compares

   With 2,515 universities in the United States, MUSC sits in a very crowded national system, but it stands out by being a public medical university rather than a broad multi-subject institution. Its long medical history and focus on physician training make it more specialised than many U.S. universities, so it suits applicants who already want a health or medicine pathway rather than a general degree search.
