Does anyone have an idea when another round interview invites will be sent out?
Are you ED or RD and when did you submit your secondary?I got one today
I was born here, lived in another state for 8 years and then returned to GA, and I got an interview. So I would say show your dedication to this state and MUAs through you application and I'm sure you would have a great shot.
Edit: I've lived in GA for a total of 14 years.
Are you ED or RD and when did you submit your secondary?
can any M1s/people who got interviews/people who interviewed last year comment on their residency in GA? As in, how long they've lived here? I moved to GA a few years ago and I definitely consider it home. But I didn't grow up here, and I know Mercer prefers applicants who have lived their entire lives here. This program is my top choice though, because I want to serve in MUA's. Should I bother applying, or will it be a long shot?
When were you complete?I got one today
When were you complete?
Congrats! What day is it scheduled for?
Congrats! Hoping to have one come my way soon!
Submitted 8/24, so my app should be coming up soon :O
Yeah don't hold your breath. I submitted mine around the same time in July, and I haven't heard anything (LizzyM 71)Submitted 8/24, so my app should be coming up soon :O

It's not completely impractical for studentdocftw to hope that. Both times I've applied here, I've gotten an II exactly two weeks after my completion email so maybe studentdocftw will have the same luck. I think it pretty much depends on who looks at your app and whether or not they think you fit their mission and have shown a dedication to serving others and becoming a physician. Here's hoping you get an II soon!

yeah I interviewed last year..was told my MCAT was too low...but improved to 91% So hope this round goes smoothly.
I'm sure it'll help you if that's what they told you! I wish they could just accept us all. Haha.
Only caveat is last year I was interested in IM..but I've since indicated wanting to go into EM..so not sure how that's gna affect my app...but I went the honest route. haha
I've been complete since 7/13, so I'm hoping they are just going with high stat RD interviews now. I have a strong interest in peds and want to stay in GA.
Dang, a weekend II? You can never let your guard down.Just received II. Rough...Savannah's too far for me. Earliest date for Macon was 12/8.

Congrats though! Sucks there's no earlier Macon dates.Even more odd, around 9 pm EST. haha you truly never know!
if your app is complete before October 1 then are you automatically considered for early assurance? What is the difference between early assurance and regular decision?

I could be way off base here, but I know Mercer has a program for their undergrads who maintain a certain GPA and get a certain MCAT. Maybe that's early assurance? I don't think it's the same as early decision though because they have different interview dates.
Hey you guys
I got an II from here a couple weeks ago, two weeks after my complete date
but my stats are really low (3.0 gpa, ~506 mcat)
i was completely surprised!!
any tips?? interview scheduled for early nov!
But I've been submitted since 7/13, should I be concerned that I haven't heard back?

Well I want to do peds and one of my main volunteer activities was involved with underprivileged children in rural communities, so......Could your ECs reflect passion in urban centered research? If so, that is the complete antithesis of Mercer's mission. If your ECs are rural driven, with specific passion for primary care, then lack of feedback is a bit disconcerting.

Also, I know this sounds strange. But double check that you put your shadowing and volunteering on your AMCAS. Last year, my friend tailored her app to Mercer and never heard back so she called. Turns out, she had completely forgotten to put her shadowing experiences on her AMCAS so they wouldn't give her an interview. Seems like a simple mistake, but it happens to the best of us.Well I want to do peds and one of my main volunteer activities was involved with underprivileged children in rural communities, so......
