Jdizzl11 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 I found out that they are aware that the app is not working and they said to give them 24 hours Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahayes12 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Good Luck to everyone. Question: If you have all other requirements but your GRE is literally a few points below the GRE requirement do you think they wouldn't even look at your application?

Winter_is_coming Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Do you have to submit HCE in a separate letter or email?. One of there requirements specifies that somewhere on their website but I wasn't sure if they accept the CASPA roll up or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They will not look at your application at all. I applied last cycle and was ONE point below the minimum and they did not look at mine; as a result, I was denied.

So even being qualified won't get you looked at. Last year I applied late in the game so I am hoping that applying early in the game will get me at least an interview.

katmetzger Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 On the supplemental portion of the CASPA, there's a document labeled "Clinical/Professional," how is this different from the CV/Resume? I'm all set to send my CASPA but I need to know what else to add. I know it's considered optional, but in my experience with PA school applications, anything that is considered "optional" should still be done. Does the CV/Resume substitute one for another? I need to know what exactly goes into this document. Also, once you submit the CASPA, does Mercer send you a supplemental application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my PCA, CPR/AED Emergency Response, and a CNA certificate that I just received (not the actual license but close). How would I go about entering this? Could I at least give them the dates completed, the registration numbers, etc.? By the way, I found the supplementary application, it's on the website like last year, got it! Do any of you know when interviews will be held now that they are starting their application process a month later than last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of you know when interviews will be held now that they are starting their application process a month later than last year? I scanned my license into my computer and saved it as a pdf. You never want to submit anything as a word document unless specifically asked for. Word documents will show word errors immediately and grammar errors immediately as soon as they open the document. Don't make it easy for them to see your mistakes. It also is not professional. Even your resume should be submitted as a pdf! However you can get those documents onto a computer and saved as a pdf.

Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Good advice. I don't have a scanner at home, but I suppose maybe I could go to Kinkos or something to do that. Also, since I just completed my CNA course, preparing to take the state boards, would it be acceptable to scan my certificate that I received recently as a substitute for the actual license? Thanks for the PDF suggestion, that would help. Any further feedback would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter_is_coming Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Anyone been able to contact the Mercer PA Admissions and get a response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyc010 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hello guys, I realized that Mercer gives a Masters in Medical Science degree after completion of their PA program. Does anyone know what the differences are between masters in medical science/health science /physician assistant . Or does it really matter in the end because we all take the PANCE to be certified as PA-C? Anyone can shed some light about this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdizzl11 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Most schools call their masters a medical science masters. It doesn't matter the name the program is just preparing you to take the Pance. That is why it is important to look at their Pance % to make sure their program is successful Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyc010 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 For the supplemental portion, it asks for info on your pre-professional or academic advisor. What if I didn't have one? What should I fill in instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtga Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 On the website it says that they have a preferred GPA of 3.0 and a preferred natural science GPA of 2.9. Anyone who may know the answer to this question: will they consider an application that has a GPA lower than 3.0? Since it's preferred, not required? Also... any applicants this year: what all did you include in your CV/resume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragauskasalyse Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Anyone been able to contact the Mercer PA Admissions and get a response? They came to visit Mercer's main campus in Macon late Novemeber and told us they had a lot of applications and are doing their best to be in correspondance with everyone! So I guess I would say just be patient! Along with the fact they stated the review process would continue through December and interviews would start at some point in January!

That is what I heard at the campus visit I went to last week. The interview invites will go out in January for a early February interview.
