PowerlessVirus Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Just got invited yesterday to interview January 5th! They're very fast, considering I procrastinated on the secondary essay until last week. For those who interviewed on 12/7, what was it like, and how do you feel about the program now that you've talked to them? I think they're my favorite program, so I'm excited to learn more and get to interview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katefrench Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 I interviewed on 12/7 and got my acceptance call yesterday!! This was my top choice and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to attend Mercer next january The interview was very relaxed and the faculty were so welcoming and personable. There was a 2 on 1 interview and a group interview and both were pretty casual. I always get super super nervous for interviews but once we got started I felt pretty at ease for the entirety of it. They also gave a lot of information about the program like service opportunities and such which I really liked. Good luck to all interviewing in january!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmc235 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I also received an acceptance a few days after the interview. The interview was extremely relaxed. My advice would be not to stress out about preparing. I typically really stress myself out prior to interviews. I've had 3 and this was my most relaxed one. Everyone was so personable and kind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently got accepted and they emailed me last Tuesday saying that IT will send me an email with mymercer login and ID information..but they haven’t sent anything yet.

echia Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I interviewed on 12/7. For those who were not accepted, did y'all receive any emails on whether you were rejected or put onto a waitlist? I haven't received anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a very friendly interview environment, with a good program culture and a strong focus on service. The group of interviewees seemed like a lot of fun as well! Here's to hoping we all make it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gennawithag Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I know the application closes in April but is it too late to apply this cycle? Edited January 8, 2021 by gennawithag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already done 2 rounds of interviews but work on a rolling admissions system, so I would say there is a chance. I did not find out about my interview until 2 weeks before so my guess is that they have not sent out invites for Feb yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be very fast in reviewing applications and sending invitations. There are four or five interview dates left (they do one per month), and they said they won't offer all of the spots until after interviews are complete. Go for it!
