This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Has anyone received their acceptance packet yet?
 
I haven't received mine yet either. They said within 2 weeks though?
 
I've created a Facebook group for the class of 2018 just to get in touch and get to know everyone before school starts.
 
I was accepted early admissions as well, but haven't received anything other than the acceptance email (no phone call) and the criminal background check.

Can someone send me the link to the FB group?
 
I interviewed EDP and was not accepted. Anyone know when the next committee meeting will be held? Still holding onto a bit of hope...
 
Got a call today and accepted. Looking forward to meeting everyone else accepted next fall! Any idea if there is much of a process in terms of choosing campus?

You'll get an acceptance packet in the next couple of weeks that will contain a campus preference form. All you do is select your campus and give a short explanation of why. Pretty simple.
 
Guess that means there was an admissions meeting this week? Did anyone else just get accepted? Congrats to you, doctorhopeful

Doctor hopeful, were you an early decision or regular? How long after your interview did you find out?
 
Withdrew my interview invitation today. Good luck to everyone here!
 
For RD applicants, how long after your interview do you hear about acceptances?
 
Just got an email for an interview. Everything is full until December 12th in the Macon Campus! Anybody else in the same boat? I'm pretty nervous since a lot of spots have already been filled.

Congratulations! Can you tell us when you got your 'complete' email?

Also, were you able to choose from an earlier interview date in Savannah or Columbus?
 
I received an II on October 22nd, and am beyond ecstatic. My interview is scheduled for November 5th in Savannah. This may be a long shot, but does anybody know any nontraditional students on that campus that I could get in touch with? I'm a new mother to a 6 month old and have a slew of questions involving babies and childcare, and child friendly housing options, that I think would best be directed towards a student. If any of them are lurking on this forum, I would greatly appreciate a pm. Thanks!

Anyone else interviewing in Savannah on the 5th?
 
I received a secondary on September 18th and submitted it on October 4th. Received an invite for an interview on the 24th.! I'm super exited but don't wanna get my hopes up. Although I have a great GPA my mcat is only a 24. There were earlier interviews on Savanah I guess but I work and go to school full time so really needed the Macon Campus interview..., nothing open til Dec 10th... in the middle of finals week... oh well. I'll be ready. Any advise from those that had the interview already??

It's really a laid back, non-threatening experience. I'd say be pleasant and truthful to everyone and try to point out things in your application that emphasize your dedication to Mercer's mission. Mission seems to be just as important to Mercer as academics are. Congratulations and good luck!

Same here. Really relaxed. Enjoyable day all together.
 
Question for those who have interviewed in Savannah:

Once the interview day begins, is there any driving required or is everything centrally located?

No other driving once you get there. You are in the same building most of the day, except for the walking tour.

Best decision you ever made.

Not at all. Mercer is a wonderful school that I would love to attend. I simply could not rationalize going to Mercer because of it's distance from my family, especially when I was already accepted to a school in much closer proximity.

How did it go??

People are accepted at every ad com meeting. Everyone who isn't accepted is considered at every meeting thereafter, so you won't know for sure until the last meeting of the cycle.
 
Applied pretty early and have not heard anything yet. Should I call to check the status of my app?
 
anyone interview for RD and hear back already?

Saw your response TKE340 - thanks for the info! Just figured I'd throw the question out anyways
 
The admission committee met yesterday. Did anyone hear anything? I was hoping to hear today 🙁🙁
 
Same here pollytheparrot! Been feeling on edge all day but especially as the day draws to an end O.O

I called the admissions office and they said if you dont hear back by the end-of-day today, you can assume you were rolled over.

You guys can try calling to see what you hear.....
 
I've been refreshing this every 2 minutes! Does anyone know how we are to be contacted-- is it by phone or by email or both?!

I interviewed a week before that. I think it's safe to assume that if there hasn't been any calls yet, that we have been rolled over. Such a bummer...another month long wait till the next meeting. Good luck to you all!

From what I recall, they said you will receive a call. Other members have posted that they got a call and an email later.
 
Good luck to you as well! I just called Admissions and they said most of the calls have been made so if you haven't heard yet you are rolled over. Bummed..
 
My phone keeps ringing with emails and text messages, but none of them is from Mercer... 🙁
 
....this is feeling eeriely familiar to last year...🙁
 
Are the Ad Comm meetings the same date every month or does it fluctuate?

for those who interviewed already, how long did your interviews last? you know how they give you 30m-1hr so I'm just wondering.

May I ask if you got in already since you did EDP? when I interviewed there was a real mix of how long they lasted so I guess I'm trying to see what's normal ha
