It only took a day for me to get my secondary app. I had already gotten my primary verified and was just waiting on my MCAT score to be posted (8/1). I had my secondary email the next day.

What is the stance on submitting additional LoR? So Mercer requires 2 LoR, one from a science prof and one from a physician we've shadowed. If I have 5 total, is it frowned upon to send more than the required 2? I don't want to only send the 2 required if I have more, especially since I don't have a committee letter, but I don't want to send too many if it's looked down upon.

I submitted 4 and got an interview so I'm assuming they don't care if you send more than 2
 
Am I overthinking the question asking about being raised rural? Are they looking strictly for the demographics of where you were raised, or are they interested in a "rural" mindset?

I feel bad for having a 230 word limit, but just saying "No, I grew up in a large urban metropolis".

Well Macon isn't rural. It's way bigger than my town and my town isn't rural so idk what they wanted. I just wrote about difficulties faced by rural people seeking medical care...
 
will they send you an email if you are rejected for an interview?
 
Has anyone already had their interview? Wondering if it had a laid back vibe or not

I haven't had mine yet, but from what I've heard they're very laid back and stress free. Obviously that should be taken with a grain of salt because it'll depend on who you interview with but I'm looking forward to my interview

Is this for real? Who sent the email saying it was a mistake?
 
So no RD interviews have been received yet?

This is the one school I feel neurotic about haha.
 
I think they will this week based on last year thread
