Does anyone have any tips/advice for interviews here?

This interview is very conversational, try to relax and be yourself. Be aware that this is open file, so they may ask questions pertaining directly to what you wrote there. Also, this is a purpose-driven school, and you need to be articulate about your purpose and vision for pursuing an MD. And remember, you got an interview, which as a huge accomplishment! Good luck

Has anyone who interviewed at the beginning of October heard anything back yet? Or does anyone know when we should expect to hear something? - Thanks

Rumor has it that they meet and release acceptances on the third Wednesday of every month, so potentially next week. But who knows 🙂

Congrats! I would say just prepare by understanding Mercer’s mission and why it speaks to you!

Edit: you will be interviewed by two people simultaneously. One will be on admissions and one will be either a community representative or faculty.

I did not get II yet but got an update from Mercer asking me to send notarized documents. Is this a positive sign ?

Looks like they're actively reviewing your app. If you're IS (which notary will confirm), could be a good sign. I'd get back to them asap

[boymomdoc]

does anyone else have an interview on 11/29? wondering if they have given out anymore since it seems pretty quiet on here?

 

[hpefulfuturemd]

Any other October interviewees who haven't heard anything yet? Saw the acceptances on here this past week and feeling... nervous :/

 

[Peter_Panic]

How do you guys think the break will impact hearing back from them? Interviewed a couple of weeks ago and am very anxious!

This was posted earlier in November and the thread showed several A’s after the third Wednesday of November.

With that said, I don’t imagine either the Thanksgiving or winter break will have too much impact. But that is just an assumption.

Anyone who interviewed ED but was moved to RD hear anything yet?

 

[ravensfan123]

Crickets here. Curious to hear if others have had any luck

 

[Premed2k]

For those who have interviewed, when did admissions send you the zoom links and interview day info? I interview Thursday and haven’t received the specifics yet.

 

[am409]

II received yesterday at noon. Application complete 10/13.

 

[cuteaspuppies]

Does anyone know if they accept update letters?

 

[jdmd1998]

No 🙁 I even sent a letter of intent

I received my zoom link 1 week before I interviewed. May want to reach out to admissions. However, the actual people I was interviewing with wasn’t sent till the morning of the interview.

 

[Peter_Panic]

I sent an application update /attached a brief document stating the updates and they said it was added to my file.

Which days were available for interview?

 

[Haha2001]

Which days were available for interview?

Jan 3rd and Jan 5th

 

[bc2017]

Anyone that was deferred post-interview from ED hear anything back? Looking like it'll be March when waitlist begins, but not sure.

 

[ravensfan123]

I think this what's going to happen unfortunately.. they seem to be interviewing late (eg Jan) this year and likely won't review the ED cohort until they've finished RD interviews

 

[boymomdoc]

for anyone who has interview recently, do you think they will meet for the 3rd wednesday in december or wait until january?
i know that week is christmas break but not sure if they will still meet.

I was wondering the same thing. It would be the 21st, but at the same time I'm like will they do it maybe earlier or later due to the holidays?

hopefully they meet earlier! an acceptance before christmas would be amazing!

Hey y’all! Current Mercer med student here. Just wanted to hop on here to hopefully give y’all a little bit of peace of mind, as I know this is a stressful time. But Mercer is a great school that tends to pick the most passionate students. They are very mission focused when reviewing applications. Yes, they can be a little slow with the application process. For example, I interviewed last year in September and did not receive my acceptance until May. So with that being said, be patient and trust that you will get in… if not at Mercer, somewhere! If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them

P.s. for those accepted, there are Facebook groups for the Savannah and Columbus campuses (not sure about Macon yet). I would advise you join to learn more about your classmates and get help with finding housing early

That would be the best Christmas present lol.

Curious if you have any thoughts/insight on folks who get deferred ED (and their chances of getting in RD)? For example, if you've come across any classmates in a similar situation and if it's common? Thanks!
