They said October 16 when I asked about when does interviews start?
Maybe that's for Savannah campus?

Recently had my ED interview at the Macon campus and the interviews were pretty laid back. Got asked my opinion on the direction health care is going and what I would do if I were making the decisions. So if you don't have a well formed opinion on that already, I would recommend thinking about it. Otherwise pretty standard questions. Good Luck to the rest of the ED people! Btw they said the adcom meeting was September 27th and phone calls were going out the 28th.
Interview invite call. Earliest dates for Macon are mid November, and for Savannah are mid October
Got a II, but couldnt answer, so they left a message. I was complete August 20th or 21st.
same here, made my interview for oct 16!
It is killing ME! The 28th cannot come fast enough, good or bad, i just really want to know. Definitely hoping good though since they are my number 1 by far.
I'm stoked! I really wish I could fast forward time! haha

It is finally AD COM meeting day. Good luck to all the EDers
Got the call. 1 and done, I'm IN!!! Good luck to the rest of the ED folks
Congrats to you both!
Hahaha! I almost put "no pun intended" but then I thought "they are clever enough to get it on their own".
Got the call around 7 from Dr. Innes! Accepted! Good luck for those still waiting to hear back!!!! 😀
I had to work late last night and missed my phone call around 6. I left a message returning the phone call but haven't heard anything back. Do they call everyone that will roll over as well?
They only call people who are accepted. You get an e-mail if you get rolled over.

They don't reject anyone who has had an interview until the last AdCom meeting of RD cycle, you either get accepted with a phone call or rolled over to RD through e-mail. If not give them a call to see what's up.
Do you know how the process works for those who are deferred? Or how many are accepted after being rolled over?
For the ED applicants that have interviewed and are rolled-over to RD, you have a chance to get an acceptance at each of the AdCom meetings from here on out. I believe they hold them toward the end of every month. You can call to find out when the meetings are. I don't know how it works for those who did not get an interview invite yet.The number of ED applicants they take after EDP really depends on the strength of the RD pool. And if the earlier poster is correct about 42 being accepted, that leaves approximately 58 slots in the class. Good luck to everyone, hang in there!

What could happen if you attend Mercer. With all the new "surprise" rules that they keep coming up with through your school year that will sabotage your application into every field except ones that are "mission complient". Don't believe me? Just flip to page 4 of the student hand book. Many (but not all) of the senior faculty have a "hidden agenda" at Mercer, and you will find this out as a student but only when it is too late (after you run those loans up really high, usually in your first or second year, depending on how smart you are.) 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Sad but true.

Haha I'm not so sure SDN would be the best place for you to make a comparison since people's stats here tend to be higher than the average..But I'd definitely apply with your stats 🙂
