She told me she likely isn't going to take it though, so we're back at square one

 

[Joyjoymd]

Wow this sucks, so this means if we haven’t heard anything it’s a no pretty much?

What are you guys thinking? Waitlist next month at the usual meeting time?

What are you guys thinking? Waitlist next month at the usual meeting time?

In their admissions timeline email they sent out, it says that all decisions will be made by March 15

I'm honestly terrified that I'm just going to be straight up rejected

 

[DrBaileywillbeme]

Either that or straight up rejected...preparing myself for this one . However if waitlisted there’s still hope, they usually have a lot of movement

They do have a lot of movement. If memory serves, the MSAR said that they accepted more than 50 off the waitlist (got to look the exact # up after this). When you think about the fact that at least another 50 were early decision...that means they don't get a very high yield out of their initial acceptances. So, strap in...cause once people can't hold multiple seats the GA pre-med train is going to be a wild ride.


Follow up. MSAR lists >70 acceptances off of a waitlist of 150. 53 initial acceptances were ED. So, do the math...a very large number of Mercer matriculants get in off the waitlist.

I got rejected from Mercer twice! Once on Jan 23rd and again today. 2 rejection emails? Okay Mercer, I get it!

Just declined my acceptance, hope it goes to a deserving person. have a blessed weekend.

 

[Nedsson]

Do they reject anybody they interview?

Yes, I think so. They interview close to 400. So, 124 initial acceptances and 180 on the waitlist. They must have to reject a few flat out.

 

[luxaeterna6]

Did anyone today get rejected post II?

 

[bengirlxD]

Waitlisted today but am pulling out. Good luck to everyone on the alternate list. I know someone who got off it last year in May. There's a TON of movement.

I am contemplating whether I should do this as well. I think I'll reflect over it this weekend, then decide Monday. Congratulations on all your success this cycle. Best of luck to you wherever you choose (guessing Morehouse?).

 

[GuysRelax]

I'm withdrawing as well. Good luck everyone

Thank you so much! Most likely Morehouse but we will see still waiting for some news. Congrats to you too!

Update: I was waitlisted

Email received 2/23

 

[utah34]

Waitlisted as well. Anyone know if Mercer ranks their waitlist? If so do they inform the applicants their spot on the waitlist?

 

[Kodakmd]

I believe they do have ranking system, and you were assigned with a number after your interview. That information won’t be revealed to us though.

 

[reddsnotdead]

Just accepted off the wait list today!

 

[luxaeterna6]

Just accepted off the wait list today!

Oh wow that was fast. Congrats!!! Did you do anything between being on the wait list and now?

 

[jsmit663]

If they have a ranking system why wouldn't they just tell us our number. That way we can stop worrying bout it and at leat know where we sort of stand?

 

[Kodakmd]

I wonder if still meet every third Weds? Does anyone know how full the class is at this time?

 

[DrBaileywillbeme]

Yes they do, and I assume that the class is full because the email stated they gave as many offers that were available.

I think the idea of a waitlist implies that the class is full, yes!

 

[Nedsson]

As I've been active on this thread a fair bit this cycle, I wanted to take a moment to officially wish everyone (whether accepted already, or waiting to hear good news) good luck! While I absolutely loved my Mercer interview, it doesn't seem worthwhile (or fair) to take up a waitlist position when I'm not even sure that I would choose Mercer above my current acceptances. I'm definitely saddened that this means I'm missing out on having some of the amazing people on this thread as classmates...but I think it's still the right thing to do. Best of luck to you all (Hey, the waitlist just got one shorter😉) once again! See you on the wards someday.

Hey Guys,

Long time lurker on this thread. I just wanted to announce that I was recently blessed by being accepted off of the waitlist. A great set of people here and I wish all you great success. Hang in there!!
