From what I remember, there are a few demographic questions and a narrative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC23 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Hey, guys! Is anyone else having trouble finding the application on CASPA? Mercer University is not showing up for me in active/past/future programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayPA88 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Does anyone know when it is going to be on CASPA? It still has not been added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC23 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I emailed Mercer this morning, and they said they are working to resolve it with CASPA. It seems this has happened previous cycles. Good luck everyone!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the past two cycles, interview invites were sent out two weeks after submitting everything. The application completed email was sent out a couple of days after successfully submitting everything. The first round of interviews was held the second week of December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the forum from last year, and it looks like interview invitations started to get sent out around November 22nd and continued through mid march! I am not exactly sure what the last date was 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimistictiger Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I wonder when we have to have the CASPer completed by since it was added after people already submitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received an application verified/caspa application received email. From the email without the casper assessment our applications will not be considered complete. So once we take the test and the program receives our results our status will change to verified and complete. Hopefully this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the best study resource was YouTube videos of mock Casper scenarios. They show exactly the test format, and I modeled my responses like the ones in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC23 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 For CASPER, I am having the same issue in which I don’t see Mercer University on the list of programs that accept scores. Anyone else have trouble sending scores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALSPrePA Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Yes, I tried sending my scores yesterday and I don't see them on the list either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PApowder Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) I was able to send my scores yesterday to Mercer University. Did you guys select the correct cycle when trying to sign up on caspa?  Edited November 3, 2023 by PApowder Detail edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
