I am! I actually finished with all their application materials last week. I only thought their supplemental essay was strange in that it was more "what do you know about physical therapy?" instead of "why do you want to be a physical therapist?" There isn't a max word count from what I found..mine ended up being 2 pages and ~800 words.
Did you apply to MUSC also?
But yeah, I was thinking it was weird how they didn't have a word count. My essay for PTCAS was about 550 words and I was going to aim for around 600 or 700 words here. I actually called admissions several weeks ago and they said that just whatever you decide is okay.
I did.
What are your stats, if you don´t mind me asking? I think everything is pretty competitive in mine, except my GRE. The Quantitative part killed me.

Wow you have great stats! Don't be scared🙂
Aw thanks! I'm just terrified of the (hopefully) interview. I hate interviews.

They haven't announced the time yet, unfortunately. 🙁 Otherwise, I'd think about going too.
Imma stay neutral on that one 😉
When are the interviews? Is this for Mercer University?
Nov 15. And yes.
is nov 15 the only interview date?

I definitely think that will not be the only interview date. The supplemental and PTCAS materials are due November 17th. Also, they probably will have a LOT of people they need to interview so they may need a few weeks to interview everyone.
What did you think of the school?
Well I'm a little biased because I live 10 min from the campus and Mercer has been my number one choice since Freshman year haha, so I think it's a great program. I've visited multiple schools, and I just know it's the perfect fit for me. I love how it's a pretty new program and I've heard nothing but great things about the faculty (which is a huge factor for me).

Hi! Okay so I am going to Mercer (YAY) but was wondering how y'all went about finding roommates your first year? I'm hoping to get it figured out soon so that I'm not scrambling last minute.
