How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over the school's web sit and mission statement. I spent some time learning how the PBL curriculum worked. Read past experiences from this website.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I am convinced that Mercer's PBL methodology is effective at "improving" the acacemic quality of a student.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not really any negative aspects. This medical school is smaller than most. For me that is a plus because I come from a smaller undergrad and I enjoy close relationships between faculty and student.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the store my new suit was bought from forgot to remove the "anti-theft ink device." A little engineering and my hotel door jam took care of that problem.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

When the interview day was complete, I was sold on this school. This was my first med-school interview so i didn't have any idea what to expect. Since then I've interviewed a couple of times and I've been comparing everything to Mercer. The admission's staff and faculty were wonderful. Mercer has some very distinct attributes such as class size and curriculum. This is certainly "my kind of med-school."
