GAgirl22 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is anyone planning on attending the information session this month? I am trying to rearrange my class schedule just so I can make it! I wanted to attend the one in May but was not able to make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I really want to go. I live in Tampa which is a drive as well as a 190$ air ticket. I really am debating about going or not. Ms. Jordana told me that it does not influence admittance into the program. So I'm hoping that I can hear something back before that weekend. fingers crossed!

Though not a "requirement", I think you should both make it a priority to visit the campus. How can you know it is really the place for you if you do not visit campus and meet the people? Just my 2 cents! Good luck all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to undergrad in Atlanta (at gsu) and had the chance to visit Mercer's campus a few times. I had a friend who went to Mercer who showed me around a few years ago and loved the atmosphere. More importantly, I really like what the program has to offer from what I have seen/read. I definitely agree with you though, it should be a priority to go. An official tour would be helpful as well as getting the chance to find out more information about the program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wonderful atmosphere and helpful people at Mercer influenced my desire to become a member of their class tremendously. Though so close to downtown Atlanta, it is placed nicely off the beaten path. I am excited to make it my home for the next few years, and believe it is a great place where I can be nurtured and become a great PA. If I had not made it a priority to step foot on the campus for a few visitation days, my drive to become a part of their program would be merely superficial.

GAgirl22 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I spoke to someone from the office today and they told me they are in the process of reviewing applications from anyone who they asked for extra materials/updates. She told me that the next round of interviews would be held on the 22nd of this month. I was pretty sad to hear that my application (along with my updated direct patienct care experiences) probably would not make it in time to the admissions committee for this round of interviews. I updated my information in mid-June (about three days after I was sent an e-mail) so hopefully I will hear back soon! I am going to stay optimistic but can't help but be a little nervous since she told me interviews would be held only until October 1st! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wow, I'm also worried. I don't know what else to do. I'm worried. :sadface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAgirl22 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 To stay positive, we will know about that interview soon enough! I am definitely going to try to attend the information session. Just signed up..the only problem is I might be there late since I will be coming straight from class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamer818 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and offer some encouragement to those of you still waiting to hear. Please don't be worried! Just be patient and keep doing things to make yourself a better applicant. It does seem like there are still a lot of spots left in the class from the looks of the FB group, so do not give up! Good luck to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguy Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 So, I wonder if they have filled the interview slot for next week? It would be pretty short notice at this point if there was an interview Monday the 22nd to not have heard something by now... Although I'm still holding out hope :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 That's all you ca do. If I don't get in I'll just give myself till Jan 2013 to get into a PA program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
