Well crapSo they accepted 9 people last night. They have 16 spots left.
They apparently send out the email by 12 so.... like 11 minutes until you can probably assume you have been rolled over. 🙁I wonder if the email for those people has already been sent
How many interview dates are left ?
Yes, they did. All applicants who were accepted have been notified.Wait, so they did send out an email today?
No interview...know someone whose mcat is 4 points lower and mcat is a whole tier lower who has gotten accepted....wtf

MUSOM routinely rejects high MCATs if said applicants don't have experiences and traits reflective of their mission.
I would stop comparing yourself to other people (as you really don't know all the details about their application) and start looking in the mirror and see what you think you could do to improve your application and competitiveness.Volunteering and shadowing doctors in rural and urban areas doesn't contribute to their mission. Commitment to family medicine doesn't reflect their mission?

I have 510, and 3.7GPA. I got an interview.
It's a good thing you can look and think about things you could do better! Start trying to improve them NOW as application preparation is more or less an all year thing lol! And good luck!!!It may have been my lack meaningful extracurricular and average ps with neutral letters that sunk me this cycle

Yeah MUSM is a little weird about that I'll admit. It's like there is a zone between about 3.4-3.7 that is really the place to be on GPA and 25-29 on MCAT, once you go above that (or below it), you can put yourself at a disadvantage because Mercer will assume that you either A) won't come here because you're likely to get into MCG or Emory or wherever and/or B) (and this is a tin-hat theory) you're more likely to do WELL in med school and go into pediatric facial reconstructive surgery or something vs going to be a country doc. Or at least that's been my conclusions reading these forums for 3 years now. I was roughly in you're same spot too. The GOOD news is that you have a great GPA and a very decent MCAT, and it's probable if Mercer didn't take you on a reapplication than MCG would. All you really need it seems based on your comments is some more extra-curricular stuff (aka boxes to check). I'll say it again, Mercer loves to see volunteer work. You can say you're committed to family med but Mercer's gotta FEEL that you're committed. They only know what you show. Best of luck!
Your tax money only pays for MCG lolI would like to agree with that, but as a 31, 3.8 cgpa, I still haven't even heard from any school in Georgia. I want my tax money back!

Downside is there are probably going to be so few slots left...
Hello chaps! So I got an II yesterday evening (6pm 01/31 - like probably in the last batch they sent out for this cycle). While I'm incredibly grateful and relieved, part of me is also wondering ... did they get to me last minute, or is their extending an II to me more like a ... politically correct gesture, since I'm a Master's student at MUSM? Either way I'm bringing it lol. But part of me is wondering :/. I was complete at the end of October. I guess the reason is irrelevant ultimately. I've just got to believe in myself profusely and convince them by my conviction.
There's supposed to be a meeting today!Any meeting this week, or do we still keep biting our nails till the days of end.
There's supposed to be a meeting today!
What time?
Also was anyone interviewed by a foreign Indian/Pakistani? guy that tried to persuade you not to become a doctor?
The meeting ends at 5 today. Should hear back before about 10 is what they said at my interview. How much do y'all feel like personality and actual people skills during the interview plays into thier decision?

So, 2-3 weeks until the next meeting, correct?
