I also have a mid-May personal deadline. My overall score is above 500 but my C/P score is weak. I really wanted to end up at Mercer but there is another school that is an even better fit so if they accept me in their SMP (with guaranteed linkage) and I haven’t heard back from Mercer, I will likely withdraw from the WL that day.

I’m okay with Mercer deciding I’m not the right fit for their school, and this may sound crazy, but I’m more excited to attend and spend money at a place that wants me. My only regret is trying to stay in the South and not applying to this other school last summer.

Honest opinion: I feel like there will be a lot of movement in the upcoming week but after that chances of being accepted drops by almost 90%. Let’s stay hopeful everyone and have faith in god.

Withdrew my A. Hope it goes to one of y'all. Best wishes everyone!

I didn’t freak out because subject line was really clear. I was more annoyed than anything else. Like, they could have done the kindness of removing current folks on the WL from their mass mailing list.

still pretty sensitive time for all of us on the WL, so any email from them puts us on edge is what I meant..fingers crossed we hear some good news the next couple of days!

Fair enough. My point was that feelings went towards frustration...I think it's just where I am at this moment with this whole process.

As always, good luck to all.

Anyone hear anything today? I’m wondering if we will see any movement tomorrow

Did you send a letter of intent at all?

Thanks a lot to everyone for good wishes. And whoever didn’t get in this cycle, make sure to keep positive vibes and reapply for next cycle. There is a time for everyone. I didn’t get in first 2 cycles and 3rd cycle did the charm for me. So don’t give up just cuz u didn’t get in this year. You all will be doctor one day.

 

[overthinking-ginger]

If I don’t have any substantial updates do y’all think it would still be worth it to send a letter of intent? I know in their waitlist email they said to only send substantial updates so I don’t want to piss them off lol. But I sent a letter of interest back in January before getting an interview and then ended up getting an interview the next day so might be worth a shot ??

maybe there will be some movement today?? did anyone hear anything yesterday?

 

[TheOtherTurtle]

Nothing…. I feel like we should have seen more movement

 

[itscoldouthere]

what does it mean if all your letters of recommendation updated? like all of my received dates updated. ?? probably means nothing but in general why would that happen?

That happened to me back in February and I didn't get in until May, so I'm not really sure what that means, but I was definitely wondering. Probably they're just reviewing applications again.

[premedlife567]

Yes, it happened to me. Mine says received 05/01/24. Not sure what that means..

My letter status updated again on May 1st but nothing since then 😔

ETA: I think it just means the file was reviewed. It definitely happened to my file a couple of times during the year.
