If you're out of state that might be the problem because they only accept residents of Georgia. If not, I would call.Hi guys, Mercer isn't on my AMCAS list of schools. How did you guys apply to it?

I got the completion email July 2 and JUST received an ii today. I think they're going to start sending out more invites this week since orientation's over? Looked like there were still a lot of open dates too so I wouldn't worry.Completed secondary for ED about 2 weeks ago and still haven't gotten an interview invite. Anyone else in the same boat? Those of you who did receive an ED II, how long did you have to wait after the completion of your secondary?

Were we supposed to receive completion email? I have all check marks on the online app but never received an email..
Thanks for replying! I got my interview invite today too. Guess they send out the invites in batches. I'm interviewing 2nd week of September.I got the completion email July 2 and JUST received an ii today. I think they're going to start sending out more invites this week since orientation's over?

First year I was told by an interviewer that because I am LGBT they can't accept me. Against my better judgement and at the insistence of one of my rabbis whose son went to Mercer SOM, I applied again.
Submitted July 1For any RD II's, when did you submit your secondary? And how about a brief description of your stats? cGPA:sGPA:MCAT
RD II today!
Are you ED or RD? I'm still waiting too.Were there any IIs sent today, or does anybody know at what frequency does Mercer send them out? I was complete mid August and have not heard anything yet.
Thanks!
RDAre you ED or RD? I'm still waiting too.
RD Interview today! File was complete 8/25/14
Retaking MCAT tomorrow but old score 28
cGPA/sGPA = 3.65/3.53 from GT
Shadowing rotation with 5 physicians ~45 hrs
Landing an interview is the first step...41% of us will get one...27% of us will get in! Good luck guys!
That's great. Good luck on the interview and MCAT! Did you receive a phone call or email? What are the dates and campus selections for the interviews looking like?
Chiming in here to say that the earliest available interview dates for the Macon campus are in January, and November for Savannah.
Good to know. Thanks for the responses. Does anyone know how late into the cycle does Mercer send out RD II. Getting kind of nervous here because it seems the slots are filling up quickly. Basically, at what point should I consider myself toast and not getting a RD II?
Thanks. I've done that. It seems that there were II well into November. However, most of those late II were from people who also submitted late secondaries (within a month or so of the II). Either way, I am probably just over-thinking things. I'll probably send Mercer an application update within the next week or so and maybe that'll help.And if you are really worried and motivated..you could always go back to last year's forum on Mercer and search through until you find the last person stating they got an II. Keep in mind tho that other prospective physicians exist 😉
How long did it take after you submitted your secondary to get an interview invite?

Congrats! When did you submit your secondary?RD ii just now!
Appreciate it. I submitted mid August but wasn't complete until they received my residency form which was 9/4/14Congrats! When did you submit your secondary?
This shows my ignorance of the process, but what exactly is RD/ED ii? I am RD and have already submitted my secondary and am waiting for an interview invite, unless this RD ii is something else they will throw at me before the interview.
