Mercer University?

[lepamplemousse]

I'm planning on applying to Mercer, because my family is thinking about relocating to Georgia. Is this a good school? How hard is it to get accepted? And to those who go here, what do you like and don't like about it?

Mercer has rolling admissions, which means that you do have some advantage in applying earlier rather than later in the application cycle. These are average stats for the last few years - not sure what the final stats are for this fall's class yet.
GPA 3.4 PCAT 81
Students with a prior bachlor's degree figure has been running around 60% of the entering class. Total size of applicant pool has been slightly over 2000 students in the past couple of years - not sure how many they actually interview from that pool. Around 80% of my class had pharmacy experience before entering.

So, I guess it depends on your stats whether it would be hard or easier to get accepted. I think the interview is also very important - Mercer seems to get students with good communication skills (that's more my personal observation of my classmates - not from any actual knowledge of the adcom).
