Congrats. Tbh, I wonder what did I do wrong at the interview and how low am I on the list... 🙁

WHen did you interview?

Way back in Oct

I don’t really feel it’s always “right or wrong” although if you say something really inappropriate like I did at one of my interviews then that’s not good. But it could be “fit or unfit” for our school. 🙂

There's also a lot of sheer luck involved in the process. Last cycle, I felt my interviews went overall well. Not amazingly but pretty average. I was waitlisted and ultimately rejected. This time around, one of my two interviews was an absolute disaster. The interviewer kept a deadpan face the entire time and never responded to any of my answers to his questions, which caused me to get increasingly nervous as the interview went on. I was so certain that I already had a very tiny chance of acceptance since the previous cycle showed that I was obviously not really what they were looking for and that I had blown any sliver of a chance I may have had. Then I came off the waitlist on traffic day. So you just never really know. That said, it's way too early to lose hope. Waitlist movement just really started two weeks ago. 🙂

Did you interview in Savannah, because my first interviewer was exactly how you described, and since he was the committee interviewer I thought my chances were low. I didn't even get an II from Mercer last cycle

Yep! I saw you mention that you had no way of telling what your interviewer thought of you and was thinking it sounded like we might have had the same person. The person who was supposed to interview me actually called out sick or something, so they had him interview me instead. I was so upset because I felt like I could have performed so much better with someone with a different interviewing style, but I guess it all worked out!

To accepted students: how much are you pulling in loans? What's your monthly rent/utility expense budget? Just trying to get someone else's view

I'm thinking about taking out about $60,000 in loans. My theoretical monthly rent is $550 and utilities are $150 (depends on where I live; I'll be living by myself). My parents said they'd offset some costs but we haven't talked about what exactly, so $60,000 would be the absolute max.

Wow that's really good

Can any current female students comment on whether going purely off of bust measurement wound up being a reliable means of determining their white coat size? I'm a bit nervous to order the size 10 I would wear based on my bust size because I normally wear size 4 or 6 in women's clothing. I'm very short, so I don't want my white coat to be swallowing me in every way haha, but I obviously also don't want to wind up with one that's too small.

If it ends up not fitting you right, they'll get you a new one

I got accepted to MCG and I’m withdrawing from Mercer. I really hope one of you guys gets it.
