for those who have interviewed already!

any general advice on how to best prepare? I have only ever done the mmi format so i'm super nervous. what's the general timeline of interview day? thanks so much!!
 
Anyone know if there are certain dates that Mercer releases decisions? (Ex: Once a month on the 3rd Friday) Just wanted to know if I can anticipate a given day rather than thinking it can drop at any moment.

Hey everyone, I'm a current student here at MUSM and would be happy to answer some questions if anyone needs help or reassurance.
 
I'm debating whether to send a pre-II letter of intent if I don't hear back by Thanksgiving, but I don't know if that's something people usually do.
In my experience, you typically send these after you interview so you can discuss items from your interview that support why you would want to attend that school. November is still very early for Mercer.
 
does anyone know any info on how soon you can receive a decision after interviewing?
Curious about this as well. Interviewed today and it was a great experience. They unfortunately did not give us a timeline for decisions so now we wait..
 
Based off last years post if you are accepted you should hear something on the third Wednesday of December. At the earliest maybe this upcoming Wednesday, but I would think December.
 
Anyone know if Mercer accepts update letters? I don't see anywhere to submit one in the portal, or any info on their website
 
Does anyone know the rate that MUSM sends out interview invites throughout the application cycle? For instance, do they send out the bulk of their interview invites early in the cycle, or is it more of a steady trickle sent out from September until January for the RD applicants? CycleTrack really doesn't have many data points on this (not to mention the bias from self-reporting), so I'm curious if anyone here has more insight on the matter. I know previous years show a lot of people posting about receiving II throughout November, but it seems slower this year by comparison. Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part lol.
 
At our interview, they said phone calls don’t really mean anything more, just depends on your interviewer’s availability, but they send out the emails and update the portals the day after (tomorrow).

Dang, it would suck to be in a situation where you were not called, giving off the impression you weren’t accepted alongside those getting calls in a given month, just to be accepted the next day. Fun little dose of unnecessary emotional roller coaster!

For those that got a call, let us know when you get the email so we can fully chalk up this month.
