Hey, is anyone on this board planning to reapply this cycle to Mercer either RD or ED??? .....
I am!Hey, is anyone on this board planning to reapply this cycle to Mercer either RD or ED??? .....
Where did you accept? If you do not mind me asking, congratulations!!I withdrew my A. Just got accepted somewhere else. Best of luck!
I got into MCG!! Thanks!Where did you accept? If you do not mind me asking, congratulations!!
Has anyone heard of any movement since the 30th?
Congratulations!!! Yeah I heard there was some movement but the biggest is coming up in the next 15 days or at least that’s what I keep hearing so keep your fingers crossed everyone!I was accepted on the 30th.
Next 15 days? Why do you think so? is that because of the 2-week period accentance thing? I'm not fluent in all these AAMC guidelinesCongratulations!!! Yeah I heard there was some movement but the biggest is coming up in the next 15 days or at least that’s what I keep hearing so keep your fingers crossed everyone!

When did you interview?Does anyone know about how long it takes for the “choose your school” tool to show up on amcas?
It will appear when under your application for this cycle.Does anyone know about how long it takes for the “choose your school” tool to show up on amcas?
Congratulations!Got the call today and I'm in!! I interviewed ED way back in September so this has been a long road. Good luck to everyone else on the waitlist!
OMG congrats!!! What time did you get the call?Got the call today and I'm in!! I interviewed ED way back in September so this has been a long road. Good luck to everyone else on the waitlist!
It was around 3 pm today !OMG congrats!!! What time did you get the call?
Congratulations!!It was around 3 pm today !
Congratulations!!I got a call about 2:30 today for my acceptance! Interviewed ED in Macon at the end of August. Don't give up hope and good luck to everyone!!
I feel you. I think for me it was the interview. I just never know if the interview at Mercer is designed to be a challenge/test/whatever. I do know that a lot of my friends that got accepted said their interview went very smoothly. Also, I've been told it heavily depends on who interviews you. My interviewer really challenged every detail of my application, while a lot of my accepted friends said theirs was like talking to someone at a bar. I'm sure there's a method to the madness (they probably pre-determine who interviews you based on your stats [total speculation here]), but it's frustrating nonetheless to know I could have potentially interviewed with a 4th year instead of someone seemingly trying to break me down. It doesn't seem "balanced". This whole process has really taught me to just stop worrying about it and do what I can to strengthen my application for the futureI am starting to lose hope now. I interviewed RD way back in October. The anxiety is so real
Although I must say that my interview at MCG went very smoothly, and I'm still on the WL there as well. IDK dawgI feel you. I think for me it was the interview.

You are SO right! Thank you so much for this.I feel you. I think for me it was the interview. I just never know if the interview at Mercer is designed to be a challenge/test/whatever.

You are absolutely correct! I think that's very important, to just keep trying until you reach your goal.Don't lose hope, but also be prepared. You obviously had the qualifications for them to not outright reject you. Granted I've applied 3 times and this was my first interview, but still I haven't lost hope, but each time I've better prepared myself. I'm preparing my application for ED since Mercer is my first choice. I'm not going at it with the mentality of not getting in, but rather being prepared if I am too far down the list. Who knows, come July they could give you that much desired phone call. The best way to help calm that anxiety is to have a good plan B in place.
Did anyone NOT get a call, but did get accepted via email? I feel like everyone so far got accepted by getting a phone call?

Haven't heard anything. are you waitlisted too?How is the waitlist crew doing? Any new movement?
YupHaven't heard anything. are you waitlisted too?
You have to weigh your options. If waiting on Mercer, who no one can say for sure may or may not contact you, will cause you to miss out on a for sure opportunity I would say go for that opportunity. You have to take in consideration the time you’ll need to get prepared and move for the other school when making your decision just in case you don’t hear from Mercer.I am on the waitlist for Mercer. But have to sign a lease for an apartment at another school soon. Should I keep on waiting? Do you all think there will be significant movement in the next week?
What does CTE stand for?Does anyone know the CTE deadline for Mercer?
Thank you for the clarification, yes Kirby Smart did you get accepted??CTE is commit to enroll. @Kirby Smart were you accepted then?
Movement will continue until August so there are many many chances is what I have heard!Haha no, I wasn’t accepted. I’m wondering because I’m on the WL and curious as to when we should expect the last real movement.

Haha sure but realistically there shouldn't be much movement after the CTE deadline because students are required to withdraw from all other schools and commit to Mercer at that point. Any movement after that happens in August would be a very one-off situation.
EDIT: I know there must be a CTE deadline for Mercer but they haven't posted it anywhere that I can find and my MSAR subscription has expired. Anyone currently have MSAR that can check it? I think it's posted there.
I was not told of a CTE deadline upon my acceptance either and can’t find it anywhere. I asked a friend who is a current first year and he told me that CTE is typically 21 days before orientation, but he is also unsure of Mercer’s deadline.I've asked an accepted Mercer student about the CTE date, and he said he doesn't know when that is as it wasn't stated in his accepted email (which I know, strange). Only the orientation date which is 8/10. I tried to find the CTE of last year's cycle and couldn't find it. Does Mercer even have a date? Can an accepted student verify this?
