Guest slvereneau Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I was invited as well - why dont you think you will attend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbling Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 I was invited as well - why dont you think you will attend? I am just curious as to how many people are called for interviews out of the total number of applicants they have.. Mercy's class size is approximately 40 each year I called and asked about the statistics, but they were a little hesitant to tell me. I have decided to interview anyway because Mercy is one of my top choices so I guess I have nothing to lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmart1250 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I just interviewed at the school yesterday in the afternoon group. They stated we would be updatd of our status in March. The faculty and students were really helpful and answered a lot of questions. The day went like this: Arrive for a lunch of salad and sandwiches while having a Q and A session with students. We then were givn a written scenario and asked to write a response. Break into a group for a tour and another group for the interviews. The interviews were actually group interviews and not one on one. If you have any questions about the day I'll answr qhat I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weello Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I also interviewed yesturday in the afternoon session. Did they really say we wont know until March? I heard a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest megruss87 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I heard them say that we could hear in a few weeks but that everyone will know by march, so i guess they're not quite sure if they're gonna do rolling or just wait til they interviewed everyone. I was also at the afternoon session, what did u guys think of the group interviews? i feel like it was hard to judge if it was going well or not in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weello Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ya i agree. The other person i interviewed with was very well spoken and when attacking the question first, pretty much left me with nothing else to say! I was also very nervous, but we will see what happens i guess. I felt the group assignment went well, we came up with some pretty good answer's/reasons. I think they were impressed with that. Overall i feel i did ok. No sense of worrying about it now tho. Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbling Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 i interviewed in the afternoon session with lorraine (the director) and another lady (not sure of her name). they made us feel really comfortable and were extremely receptive to our answers. although mercy is not in an ideal location and does not have much of a campus- i really loved the program, students, and faculty. if accepted, i will go to mercy!

Guest megruss87 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 same here weello, but ur right no sense it worrying now. good luck to u all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmart1250 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I interviewed with the clinical coordinator Kristine Novak and the academic advisor Dr. Guzman. They were both really friendly and the interview didn't seem stressful at all. I'm hoping things went well in there, the interviewers laughed at a few of my jokes I threw in to lighten up the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychrophile Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I also agree that it was hard to tell how well the interview went. I personally am convinced my interview didn't go very well although everyone keeps telling me it's all in my head. I just felt that the group set-up made it more difficult to build a rapport with the interviewers, and given that the point of the interviews was to get a feel for your personality that worries me. I definitely plan on going to Mercy if accepted so I hope the answers trend more towards November rather than March! Good luck everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbling Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Who did everyone interview with? I felt as though the interviewers I had (Lorraine, the program director and another lady) were verrrrrrry receptive. They joked around with us a little and were very very down to earth. In an interview I had at another school the interviewers were not receptive at all and I could tell it went horrible immediately. I felt like the group interview was alright for me because the other student I interviewed with seemed to be on about the same level personality-wise as myself.

kbling Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Has anyone heard anything yet? This Friday it will have been 3 weeks....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychrophile Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 So I'm guessing nobody's heard yet whether they've decided to do rolling admissions or not? I've been checking my mail everyday, but if we're not going to hear until March I wont be quite as vigilant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbling Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 I hope to god they don't make us wait until March.. I need to plan my Spring semester accordingly! If I don't hear anything by next Monday 12/7 I will give Sharon Foster a call.. unless someone else wants to do it beforehand.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest megruss87 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 i know a first year student there and she said that rumor has it that they're waiting til march, but don't take my word for it, it's just a rumor, i would give a call or e-mail if u need to know in order to make further plans. since i heard this i haven't been too anxious when going to check my e-mail, but i definitely can't wait to hear back!

kbling Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 March doesn't give us very much time to move our entire life to NY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbling Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I sent Sharon an e-mail december 3rd at 7a asking if she could provide me with a prospective date that we should hear something and she hasn't responded.. she is usually quick to respond when i have a question so maybe they don't want to tell/aren't sure yet =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychrophile Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I just heard from Sharon. It's definitely March, following their last batch of interviews. Bummer. But at least it's a relief to know a more set time-frame. Now I wont jump every time I hear the mailman! (at least not until March :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taicaraya Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That sucks that we have to wait until March. I just got accepted to Hofstra and am torn between the two. It would be nice to have an answer from Mercy since I have to let Hofstra know by the 15th of January. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychrophile Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Checking in to see if anyone on this thread was part of any of the later interview sessions, and if so, did they have any feedback? Guess I'm just trying to kill time until March :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyCakes Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 i interviewed on the 15th and lorraine told us at the end of the interview that we would know in two to three weeks. which means... it should be VERY soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
