I submitted my supplemental before Mercer received my Pharmcas and everything seemed to go off without a hitch.
Great, thanks so much!
I submitted my supplemental before Mercer received my Pharmcas and everything seemed to go off without a hitch.
Mercer is one of the most competitive schools to get into isn't it?
for anyone who is curious, I confirmed with admissions that the interview for Mercer is "closed-file". Correct me if I am wrong, but does this mean that our acceptance is now solely based on how well we do in our interview?
I also was at the Mercer interview yesterday and just as 311 fighters said everyone is incredibly nice. The interviewers in no way are trying to grill you, they just want to get to know you. Also no suprise questions throughout the interview and it was more like a couple of 25 minute conversations. Good luck to everyone with interviews.
I think it depends on how you define competitive. I'm sure there are schools with higher average PCATs, or higher GPAs for their entering class. There are certainly many schools that don't have as many seats available per entering class. On the other hand, Mercer does get a large number of applicants - the last couple of years the ratio has been somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 applicants for 148 seats.
Ahh, I just got an interview for Oct. 3rd also!
I think I'm going to ask them if I can do it the next Friday because I am from Ohio so that's not quite enough time, plus I'm supposed to work at CVS that weekend.
I guess they aren't interviewing on the 10th, so my new interview date is the 24th.
I think you have to accept within 2 weeks of the mailing of your acceptance letter.If you receive an acceptance letter two weeks after the interview, do you have to accept right away?? Or can you wait for a couple of months until you get other interviews and then decide...
Does anyone know if they have a set number they accept from each round or if they acccept as many as they like?
Also, has anyone not gotten in after interviewing?
They said overall acceptance rate from interviews is about 33%. It should be a little higher being the beginning of the semester, but not by much. They will have about 60 students to choose from during the first admissions committee meeting. I wish us ALL luck that there is a glitch and we all get in.
I don't see how the acceptance rate could be 33%, because that would mean they would have to interview over 1000 people.
They let me know via email that I got an interview. I believe they send out rejection letters via snail mail though. And no, they will put your application on hold before they receive your PCAT scores.
Just letting everyone know the admissions commitee met today and Mrs. Lord gave me a call about 30 minutes ago letting me know of my acceptance. Good luck to everyone!
congrats!....i gotta wait till they get my oct pcat!

Congrats man!!! Melva called me too at 4:15 yesterday to notify me of my acceptance. I was in the middle of working out so when she told me I was like SUPER DUPER PUMPED UP. Hope to see you there, dude. Later
Yeah when she called, for some reason my phone didn't have service so she had to leave a voice mail. But I saw the call was from Mercer and I got excited b/c I heard they usually only call those who are accepted.Congrats man!!! Melva called me too at 4:15 yesterday to notify me of my acceptance.
