Never thought I'd be able to say this, but so happy to receive an II today
I was wondering what my chances of acquiring an interview are so late in the game. I applied with a 3.7 and a 510 mcat. I have countless leadership roles including vice president of a major sec fraternity. I also have 5 seperate 25 hour plus shadowing opportunities with the longest one pushing 108 hours. This includes a medical mission trip and rural shadowing. I also was a head of a sceince department for underprivileged children. I have more activies but those are probably my biggest. Thanks for your help
I really appericate the reply, my secondary was marked complete as of two day ago. How long does it take to find out if u get an interview?

Not sure. However, I am lead to believe they only offer a few dates at a time because when I got my II back in September they only had dates in September... none for any of the following months.Super stoked I got an interview invite this Monday. I was complete early September, if that matters to anyone. When I was scheduling my interview I noticed there were only three dates available, and only in January. Does Mercer only offer so many dates at a time or is that the end of their interview season?
Can anyone provide me information on Mercer's accreditation?
Can anyone provide me information on Mercer's accreditation? I've heard some things but I'm not sure if it's entirely true.
@HeisenbergIsTheGOAT check this link from the LCME website for a list of accredited allopathic medical schools in the US (they've got a separate list for Canada as well, if you're interested). Mercer gained full accreditation in 1982, folks. List is alphabetical by state. Of note, it seems Emory is currently renewing their accreditation.
I assume whatever "things" you heard either pertain to another program, or came from somebody yanking your chain.
:troll:
When did u submit your secondary?Got and interview scheduled for Jan 17th.
We should be fine if we received the file complete email correct?@Educatednegro congrats on the II!
To those of you who are still waiting - double check and make sure you've submitted all of your application materials!

Has anyone received any updates today?
I thought the committee gave decisions on Thursdays? Also, I got an email about admissions timeline last Thursday. Does that mean I've been rolled over for this month?
It appears to be either Wednesday nights or Thursday mornings. And I think everyone that had an II and hasn't hear anything yet got that email. I know most of the October interviews are getting reviewed tomorrow.
The email had nothing to do with whether or not you're accepted or rolled over this month.

Hmmm... I was told at my interview that the meetings took place the 3rd Wednesday of every month, but it may be early due to the holidays. Fingers crossed!! Do you know where they heard it from?
