Do you think it is too late? I would send in the application within the next few days after I do some updates. Thanks and good luck! Hope you applied. If you haven't, it's still not too late.

MMI style or traditional interview questions? There is a group interview as well as a traditional two on one interview. You will also be able to ask current students questions in the student panel.

Jen246 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Does anyone know how important it is to get a reference letter from a professor? I have one from a PA, volunteer coordinator, and previous employer but not from a professor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marleepa Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hey everyone! For those that interviewed on December 6th, did they say we would hear something within a few weeks? Or was that only if we are accepted? Just wanted to double check, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they not do that anymore or during the 2 on 1 do they just ask situational questions similar to an MMI? thanks so much for all your help!

Because of this, I am not sure what types of questions are asked (my interview had MMI style questions). What I do know is that every interviewee that has gone through the group interview said it was fun. It's more of a discussion/debate style apparently. So I would think ethical/situational questions would be presented here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadtopaspac Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm not sure exactly when you will hear because it depends per candidate. Mercer is constantly evaluating applicants though. No answer can definitely still be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashvip Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I submitted everything back in 12/2/19 and everything was complete yet I still haven't heard anything back. Should I just assume that if by now I haven't gotten an interview invite, I'm rejected? I have a feeling if by now they haven't said anything, they may think other applicants after me that are more competitive may have a higher chance.

There are people in my class who didn’t receive an invite until April or May. Don’t lose hope! There is still a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by March you haven’t heard anything, I would call or email to check on your application. Someone’s got lost in my class so you never know.

Any advice or things to consider? Thanks in advance! Be yourself for sure! They can tell when you’re faking it and they catch on to inconsistencies. Also, consider that they are on an interview for you too so take time to really think about what you want to get out of your experience in PA school and take time to make questions that cater to those needs. Because at the end of the day, you don’t want to get into just any school. You want to make sure that whatever school you’re giving 2-3 years of your life to will be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
