Mercer Med school not coming from rural area

[MDsquad107]

Hello!

I needed advice on something. I am not from a rural area but my passion is to practice rural medicine. I grew up my whole life and attended college in Ga. I have volunteered in rural areas best I can but would this be a negative on my application based on where I'm located?

I'm a current applicant, too, so take my feedback with a grain of salt, but I would think that both feeling passionate and showing that you're passionate about rural medicine is way better than simply living in a rural area and not giving anything beyond that to demonstrate that you're passionate about practicing rural medicine. It sounds like you are doing all of the right things! Good luck

Thank you for your kind words. I am really trying. I know I'm not near the school but I do help my community and am willing to devote my life to Ga. I truly hope admissions sees that.
