Anyone see any other acceptances off the waitlist?
I've been wondering the same

How do we request application feedback?

They gave information about it towards the bottom of the Waitlist email. I think you just email musm admissions and request it that way.

Anyone have any questions for Mercer? I don’t mind asking if you can think of anything.

I don’t want you to ask them this but from your understanding all the spots are full now? Thanks again for staying active here after your acceptance!

I would imagine yes, I believe all of the spots in the 2030 class have been offered to students, based on what I know. But take that info with a grain of salt.
That said there’s still a lot of potential for waitlist movement as you have to think students are getting accepted off the waitlist at Augusta, Emory, out-of-state schools, and possibly even UGA. Those waitlist acceptances from other schools will shift the Mercer list and open new spots. Some students might decide to give up their acceptance’s entirely and pursue a different path. It’s not entirely unheard of for someone to make it in off the Mercer waitlist up until a week before classes start.

fair warning. The response I got was just repeating info on their website so I was a bit disappointed. Last year it was phone call appointments where you could ask questions.

I don’t want to dox myself but I learned what campuses are still available today. Message me if you want to know. I’ll write up the rest of what I learned in the next few hours.

Okay so I replied to a lot of DMs. Just to clarify I’m a regular accepted student, I don’t have any privileged info besides what admissions told me 🙂
From what I heard today, all acceptance spots have been offered at this point, the class is confirmed full and all students accepted have officially accepted their acceptances. Any further movement will likely come from accepted students withdrawing under penalty of losing their deposit, so there may still be some waitlist movement, but probably smaller following this recent wave of waitlist offers.
As far as campus choice, all but one 4-year campus is full with waitlists for specific choices. The remaining campus choice availability is mainly through 2-year tracks or the one remaining 4 year campus.
Overall, it sounds like the majority of big movement has already happened, and campus options especially likely won’t shift much. (Macon 4 year and Savannah 4 are full and both heavily waitlisted by early acceptance students making them beyond possibility if you were recently accepted or are accepted off the waitlist.)
For those still waiting, I wouldn’t lose hope but I’d also start thinking about strengthening your application for next cycle just to stay ahead. Admissions told me directly that they enjoy working with students to try and better strengthen their resumes and applications so it would be worth a shot to call them try and schedule a meeting. I haven’t heard people having much success reaching them on email, but they are lovely to talk to on the phone or in person.
Overall takeaway IMO: Please don’t be discouraged! If your goal is truly to become a physician, believe in yourself, know that it might require applying again, and most importantly, don’t give up. I believe in you, you can do this future doctor!

Hey y'all. I was also waitlisted on 4/15. I got accepted into another medical school and withdrew my Mercer's application. Prayerfully that helps someone get off the waitlist.

So I was at the school yesterday and chatting with some staff folks. They said they anticipate at least a few people to withdraw by the end of this week and then announce more slots by next week. That’s more gossip than gospel but that’s the chatter directly from campus.

Technically you can wait as long as you want up until orientation if you’ve paid the deposit, now it’s highly frowned upon and you’ll be holding a spot from someone who really wants to go to Mercer. At this point if you choose another school you’ll forfeit your deposit too, but it’s only 100$.
So you totally can hold out until the last minute but do consider the impact it would have on others if you plan to use Mercer as your second choice. Also do consider that Mercer is very mission driven and if you’re not interested in the rural healthcare mission or the specialties that they highly prioritize, you might not have a great experience there.
All that to say if you got in off the waitlist for another choice you could drop your Mercer acceptance any day until orientation. I would advise you go ahead and fill out all the paperwork for acceptance. That way you could go ahead and pick your campus if you haven’t yet so if you do end up using it as your second choice, at least you’ve picked the campus you prefer.
Hope that helps!

Does anyone know if you manually add yourself to the GroupMe? Or are suppose to be sent a link? I already received my acceptance packet but didn’t see a QR code.
You should receive a link in a separate email after your campus assignment is confirmed.
Any waitlist movement?
Doesn’t seem like it unfortunately

Little update for folks: the Macon GroupMe is currently full to capacity for the campus. That’s not to say people couldn’t still drop but it’s looking more locked in than before based on them adding a few new students to the chat this week and filling out the last open GroupMe spots.
Not sure about the status of other campuses. Let me ask my Savannah contacts and I’ll get back to y’all.

I know M1s on the Macon and Columbus campuses and they said there has been at least one new admit on each campus through the end of May. The M1 at Macon said she was told by someone in admissions that they will continue to pull individual folks off the waitlist as spots open up but that there will be no more batches of acceptances or big movements as the classes are full and they are just replacing folks if and when they withdraw for whatever reason.
Best of luck to everyone as you take the next step in your journey to become a physician, whatever that may be. ☮️

I know it’s probably not the news that everyone wants to hear, I myself included as a fellow waitlistee… but @Fool’sGold and @2024NonTradAnon thank you so much for reporting back to us with this information❤️. I was hoping that it would be more movement, but also it’s only day 4 of June. In other forms, people have been accepted later in the summer.
Soooo Let’s see what the rest of the summer brings! For everyone else waitlisted, please keep your heads up, work hard, and most importantly, stay prayed up. It’s not over until it’s over! 🙏🏾

Congrats!
The GroupMe groups are campus specific, you’ll get an email once you’re assigned a campus. Luckily you haven’t missed anything yet, I’d just recommend you get a handle on the paperwork quick.
Thank you so much!! I 🥹❤️🫶🏽 I will get my paperwork at the end of the week👏🏽👏🏽

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you !!
Congrats girlie!
For other folks at home, based on the GroupMe activity, it looks like there are at least a few spots left.
They added at least four folks to the GroupMe since the CTE deadline and this was for just one campus (the GroupMe are campus specific so I can only see the campus I’m accepted to).
At this point, this is less for folks who might still be on the WL for this cycle and more for posterity.
