2023-2024 Mercer

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Idk what campus I’d pick if I got accepted…maybe Columbus or Macon? I think Savannah is going to be too expensive for me 😅 and I think it is first come first serve. But I’m excited! I hope it works out for all of us…it would be awesome! Would be nice to know some cool people before classes would start as well!
Macon actually surprised me... Beautiful city man and only an hour away from ATL. Not bad. Savannah is nice too but It's just too far away from everything for me. I want to be close to home

According to last years thread, the admissions committee apparently meets the third Wednesday of every month. Hopefully us ED people will hear back very soon !!
i hope so and i hope we all get the answer we want to hear :( do you know how many people typically apply to ED every year?

this is my exact thought!! i think savannah would be super fun but also SUPER expensive. and i like that macon is only ~1 hour away from my house as opposed to savannah which is close to 4 hours

Did any ED folks receive anything today?
I really don’t think they have released their decisions. Tomorrow is the last day for ED interviews. If anything, they probably made some decisions but will wait till next week to let everyone know about their decisions. Based on previous years on Mercer’s SDN, folks would post their ED acceptance during the last week of September…but I could be wrong!

this might be a bit premature, but do you guys plan on finding roommates or mostly living alone? cause i was looking at the rent for these places and it's astronomical. Especially in savannah but even in the other locations

As of right now, I’m thinking of getting a roommate if accepted. It just makes it less cheaper and you’ll have someone I guess to interact with

Curious how much weight is put in the Preview test? Considering just 8 schools required and first year for Mercer ( supposedly design for medical School applications) verses CASPer is for all professions.🤷‍♀️

I know you don’t need it for a secondary, but they’d probably want it before they send you an II

I have a friend who is on the ambassador team at MCG and another at Mercer. They both have said that the preview and casper exam virtually hold no weight other than for helping collect data for future years for when it'll matter more!

hopefully that was what you were asking, lol

That’s good to hear…my Casper scores were pretty good, but my preview this year was pretty pathetic 😬

Someone told me they accept 70% of their class of 160 from their ED applicants (so around 110-112 people). i am not sure how many apply ED but that one fact (that i don't even know if it's true or not) is the only thing getting me through this week

I know looking at one of their previous years they accepted 70 some ED’s and 70 some RD’s…not good info but the ED number was higher.

MSAR has it at 50% of the class last year. Unsure if that's changed.

i wonder how many people ED to mercer to see what the ED stats are like then
 
the bad thing about tomorrow is that if i don't get a call i'm automatically going to assume they rejected me
