2022-2023 Mercer

[ravensfan123]

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

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!

I am not sure about this as I haven’t discussed this with any of my classmates. But I would assume that there is a good chance to be accepted due to the fact that you even had the stats to apply for ED. However, your acceptance may be a while later in the cycle as they have already began looking at original RD applicants too. But Mercer does look at applications holistically, so that goes into play as well

[Premed2k]

For those who have been accepted, does MUSM send any kind of welcome package in the mail?

Yeah, I got one about a week after the call. It contained an acceptance letter, a banner, and some stickers.

 

[anon112202]

Did anyone get an acceptance yesterday?

Did anyone get an acceptance yesterday?

Wondering this too!

 

[foodiemeddoc]

Wondering this too!

same! i have been checking my email repeatedly 🥴

 

[Peter_Panic]

Do you guys think that this week we'll hear something?

 

[foodiemeddoc]

Do you guys think that this week we'll hear something?

that would be great but it may be until january at this point. i'm not even sure anymore if they met this month or if people just aren't reporting if they got accepted.

 

[Peter_Panic]

Ah that’s true- between thanksgiving and Christmas I feel like the schedule that I’ve heard typically happening is off.. but I’m not sure.

If it's the case that they didn't meet last week, I feel like they would just push it to the next week (tomorrow)? I'm really curious if they just let a smaller amount of people in last week and it just happens that no one posted it.

 

[foodiemeddoc]

i'm curious as well but it honestly doesn't seem like much chatter happens on here besides a few of us lol so that would definitely be true too! we will cross our fingers that we hear back tomorrow!

Make sure to have one or two fun facts to share about yourself. I had to share one in the beginning and then when we met with the student ambassadors

Yes, wondering how many they have sent this year so far. Feb 3rd is the last day for interview invites to be sent. I sent a letter of intent back in November but clearly to no avail haha

Hello guys,

I just thought I'd try and help anyone out who may have been in a similar situation as me. So, today, I just got the acceptance call from Mercer. It was awesome. For context, my primary was verified on 7/29/22. My secondary was completed on 08/19/22 ( I know I was late). I applied regular decision and didn't get an II until 11/28/22. My interview was on 01/03/23. If any of you would like to know more about what I did or any other stats, feel free to reach out. I was for the best of luck to you future doctors
