jesskaur Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 ok so since the Nov 2nd interviews were cancelled, does that mean that no one has interviewed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordechai Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I had attended the Nov 2nd interview. As I understood it there was to be another in the future for those who were unable to make it due to the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesskaur Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thanks bhtoon1 and Mordechai. @Mordechai: I know you can't tell specific questions, but do you mind telling us the overall interview process and what you thought of it? Was it pretty casual and relaxed or more formal? Also, what did you think about three people being interviewed at the same time? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordechai Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 @Jesskaur I’m very happy to help as I know how intimidating these interviews can be. First, you really shouldn't be nervous;the Mercy interview was exactly as described in the email, and the students and staff were incredibly kind and comforting throughout the day. That being said, here is a breakdown of the day as I recall it. It started with breakfast, then 30 minutes to write an essay answering a question they posed for us when we got there. Following that, we had a lengthy Q&A with a second year student and were given a student's perspective on the program and school. Later we met the program director, Professor Cashin, who was incredibly nice and made us all feel very comfortable. She spent a few minutes answering some more questions and pointing out the advantages of attending Mercy. They then divided us into groups of three and brought each threesome in for the group interview while the remaining interviewees received a tour of the facilities. After the interviews they served us lunch and we got a chance to mingle further with the current students. As far as the three-person interview went, I personally found it to be an advantage over the one-on-one format. They gave each person a chance to be first, second, and third to answer a question, so that we all got an equal opportunity to share our thoughts. On top of that the usual anxiety that I feel on these interviews was dampened a bit as it was shared with the two other people in the room. The lower anxiety may also be attributed to the professors, as both of those who interviewed were very warm and inviting. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soraya1217 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Are they still sending out interview invites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojostrow Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 They should be sending out 1 or 2 more rounds of invites if you follow the way they did it previous years. It seems like there should still be two left, but if it just happened within the last few days than possibly just one left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatinaT143 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hey everyone, I am a first year student from Mercy. I'm on break and I'm willing to answer any questions you may have......I once was in your situation so I know how nerve wrecking this process is. If you haven't heard back from the school yet please be patient. I remember I interviewed in late January and didn't hear back till beginning of March. Also, one girl in our class told me that she was notified that she was accepted literally the week before classes started. Good Luck!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
