katefrench Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hi everyone, I thought I’d start this thread for those applying to Mercer this cycle!! Good luck to those who applied today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am5758 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hey! I just submitted my Mercer CASPA app and was wondering how/when I would be able to access the supplemental application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerlessVirus Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Just submitted my caspa! I was also curious about the secondary. I assume they'll email us the info for that sometime this week? I found a page online the other day claiming to be their secondary, but seemed pretty sketchy Anyways, good luck y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katefrench Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 i read somewhere that the supplemental app is emailed to us after we submit caspa ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerlessVirus Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 They sent me the secondary info an hour ago! I'm always curious about the ones that have a space for "any other information you'd like the admissions committee to know." What sorts of things do people actually write there?

I was just gonna ask about this too, not sure what they're looking for here. Updated hours or explanation for a failed class maybe? Also how long of a narrative do we think they're looking for, same length as CASPA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echia Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) I saw online on their website that the supplemental application is a survey monkey website? Is this the information that they emailed out after submitting CASPA, or is that another supplemental application?

TNat97 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It might be from the exhaustion of applying for PA schools since April and working a 10+ hours shift...but is anyone else having a brain fart moment writing the narrative? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the generally apocalyptic nature of this whole year plus exhaustion from application season, I'd be surprised if any of us were feeling particularly fresh and inspired! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I'll start drafting something and see how long it ends up. As long as the final product isn't longer than my CASPA statement, I'll feel fine.

katefrench Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Congrats to everyone who got an invite to interview on the 7th, can't wait to see you all!! Did anyone receive an email about what time the interview is? I'll be coming off an overnight shift at 8am so I'm wondering whether I need to ask about leaving work early that day. I haven't gotten any email after the one asking for a headshot, haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone get a confirmation email about getting their identification pictures received? So excited to meet you and everyone! I wonder how our interaction will be like since it is virtual and I think it's the first group too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
