Just got the call!
Seriously! This was my first interview...I am! Interviewed on 10/9. Feels like forever ago.
I interviewed 10/18, but no call is better than an R. Still in consideration until you hear something.Seriously! This was my first interview...
Does anyone know how often they release admissions decisions? I interviewed on January 15th!
I got mine last week. I’m also attending the Savannah campus but I’m pretty sure The event is only in Macon. I will be going so that I can learn more about the school, etc. but like you I wish there was one in Savannah also.Got my invitation to Accepted Student Day (second look day) on April 13th via snail mail this past Saturday! It only says it's at the Macon campus. Anyone know if there is one happening at the Savannah campus?
Does anyone have an idea of when a facebook page for our class might be made?

The page is already made! I would be happy to add you to it if there’s someway to send me a private message on here
Just out of curiosity based on the number of people in the group does the class seem full?
Can't wait to meet everyone on April 13!!!Got my invitation to Accepted Student Day (second look day) on April 13th via snail mail this past Saturday! It only says it's at the Macon campus. Anyone know if there is one happening at the Savannah campus?
Does Mercer accept updates post interview?
Accepted !
Congrats! When did you hear back?
Hahaha glad Im not the only one who noticed that! I was confused too about that but sent a reply email just in casePretty contradictory information it says
"You are automatically placed on the alternate list - there is no need to respond to this email."
then goes on to say
"3. If you wish to remain on our Alternate List, please reply to this e-mail to [email protected] within 5 business days with your full name, AAMC ID, and complete contact information indicating that you accept this invitation to be on our Alternate List."
Does anyone know when the deposit deadline is for those who were accepted? Just curious to see when people will start dropping deposits & us seeing movement on the waitlist lol.
What if we already sent a substantial update? They state that we can only send one update to our application :/Mercer’s waitlist movement is usually very good! If you’re waitlisted and Mercer is your #1, definitely send a letter of intent

I’m just going to let my app be for now. I was waitlisted 3/13 and sent my substantial update a few weeks prior. My update was 50/50 update and LOI so I’m not sending anotherI wondering the same thing. I sent one after my interview. If you call them can you let us know what they say please
I applied! Haven’t heard anything... but i know a few people who already got interview invites for the scholarship. They started interviews this week.Did anyone else apply for Nathn Deal scholarship? If so, have you heard anything?
I have not!Those of you who requested to stay on the waitlist, did y’all get a response from them after emailing them?
Could a current student speak to how they prepped for pbl meetings and in-general for tests to learn the material outside of pbl? Do they send out PowerPoints even though they don’t do lectures or is it just book material and 3rd party sources? Thank you!
No I’m still on the waitlistDid you hear back from them already?
They do send Powerpoints and other supplemental materials on some topics, but it is by and large on you to learn the material via the assigned reading and/or 3rd party sources. For example, say the syllabus for a module has 50 topics in it...there may be a Powerpoint or monograph on maybe 5 or 6 of those topics available on Canvas. In the beginning, trying to figure out which resources work best for you is overwhelming, and you want someone to just tell you which resources to use. The answer you'll hear a lot of is that you have to figure out what works for you, which is really irritating to hear at the time but ultimately true. If I had to recommend one resource to invest in early on, Boards and Beyond has helped me more than anything, but it's certainly not all-inclusive.Could a current student speak to how they prepped for pbl meetings and in-general for tests to learn the material outside of pbl?

For those who are trying to decide between multiple offers, I recommend really asking yourself whether this self-learning style sounds like it will work for you. It doesn't for everybody. I personally think I would have fared much better in a traditional lecture-based curriculum, while others in our class love the PBL curriculum. I'm getting through it, and you most certainly will too regardless, but it's definitely a major factor to consider.
