RD A, got the call around 4:45 pm today!!! Interviewed on 9/30!! Good luck to everyone else!!

 

[jiaco_456]

Has anyone who interviewed on 10/7 received an A?

 

[gertrudestaples45]

Guys, I interviewed on September 23rd for RD but have not received anything. Is it looking bad? I am very stressed.

I don't think so. It's still early in the cycle, there's still plenty of time to get that A! Keep the faith!

Does anyone know if Mercer typically releases decisions the day after the third Wednesday of the month? Wondering if any acceptances might go out today.

if you take a look into the previous years forums, I saw some people found out on Thursday and Fridays too I believe

It seems like that may be all?

I am just wondering if they are going to tell us if we are waitlisted or nothing at all

They may notify in April, this info was on the secondary application :
If an EDP or Regular Pool applicant that remains under consideration is invited by the Admissions Committee to be on the Wait List, the applicant will be notified of this by e-mail by April 15, 2026. An invitation to be on the Wait List is not an offer of acceptance.

For those that are neither extended an offer of acceptance nor explicitly invited to be on the Wait List by April 15, 2026, the likelihood of acceptance this cycle (i.e., for the 2026 entering class) is quite low. For those not accepted earlier in the cycle, it may be the first week of August 2026 before notification on a final decision is communicated by e-mail. We encourage applicants in this category to work toward strengthening their application and reapplying if appropriate.

I’m rooting for everyone in this position ❤️ y'all stay positive!

 

[Mayajae]

anyone else still waiting on a potential interview?

Starting to get worried because we only have two more months to hear from them about an interview invite. Mercer stops sending out interviews in two months. Starting to get scary, currently on 0 MD interview invites

 

[cards1_1]

for anyone who received an A or II, do you mind sharing stats in private DM? just want to know what the school is feeling out this year.

 

[poppylover1]

Did you get a phone call before your email?

I did not!

 

[mangojuice21]

I missed the phone call on Wednesday due to work but they sent me the acceptance email the next day

[nottoosure]

Anyone without a gap a year get an interview yet ??

rural?

 

[nottoosure]

rural?

No, not really. But I worked in multiple rural communities

 

[JennPreMed]

Has anyone who has been accepted received the official acceptance packet yet? I'm probably just being impatient 🙃

Not yet. I’m getting a bit antsy myself.

 

[bindingbailiwick76]

The email said it could take 15 business days to recieve the acceptance packet. That could take until Nov 6th from when I got it, so still plenty of time.

Yea I'm going straight from undergrad and had mine, I'm the only one I know so far though

 

[jiaco_456]

Any recent IIs?

 

[Kobeleo62]

It looks like they haven't sent out interview invites the whole of October??

 

[bindingbailiwick76]

Yeah based on Admit.org it seems as though the last ones were in September

 

[not_houseMD]

My friend is M1 at this school. He went ED last cycle. He said they wait until all ED decisions go out before sending the vast majority of II’s at this school for RD.

Oct. 15th was nearly two weeks ago. I suspect there will be a wave of II’s before the end of the week. Most schools tend to send II’s Tues-Thurs…

 

[JennPreMed]

Has anyone received confirmation on their campus preference yet? I submitted the form on Friday. Just curious where everyone else stands.

 

[jiaco_456]

Has anyone who interviewed on 10/7 received a decision?

 

[not_houseMD]

I haven't any seen any II's in a while. What's going on? Almost no II in October...?

 

[onadreama37]

Same, I submitted my secondaries in August

Yeah I think they’re moving slower this year

 

[student2469]

Hi everyone! I was in the Early Decision group that was moved to Regular Decision. Has anyone else in the same situation heard back yet? Just curious how the timeline has been looking for others. Best of luck to everyone still waiting!

Aside from the slew of ED acceptance in mid-October, I've seen nothing posted anywhere online that would indicate Mercer has made any movement. There was a single II marked on cycle track for Oct 31 but I don't really trust that. Most people are on multiple website, CycleTrack, Admit, SDN, and reddit. I'm hoping we hear something this week but that's just a hope

 

[Cielo.]

Received an II on 11/3!

Anyone know when the next AdCom meeting is?

 

[solab2025]

I think it's on next Wednesday.

 

[not_houseMD]

I think it's on next Wednesday.

like a week from now ?

 

[solab2025]

like a week from now ? yes. I'm not 100% sure though.

 

[MDTWOBE]

Do they meet in the am and then email that day? How do they do it?

 

[j_203]

It seems like they typically wait until later in the day to notify.
