What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

When did you know you want to be a doctor? Since when did you think about coming to Mercer?

What was the most interesting question?

What would an ideal physician be like? How do you compare to this ideal physician?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Mercer's website, went through my application, thought a bunch.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing really. Very conversational.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the staff, faculty, and students. The curriculum. The HOSPITAL was excellent. They sold me on PBL. The small class size. Their teaching methodology. Their clinical experience.

What impressed you negatively?

The location was boring with not a lot to do. They didn't show us the cadaver labs. They made us take a 1 hour personality test that was really annoying.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are low stress if you are lucky to get nice interviewers. This was my first interview so I thought they would grill me about the weak points on my app.
