What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students was contagious. They really seemed to enjoy Mercer, its program, their success within the program, the supportive faculty, and the independent study style.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities were unremarkable. For such a high tuition, I thought they would have more technology and nicer facilities. The library was unimpressive. We never saw the anatomy lab.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I think this was a perfect example of how important the interview process is for both the student and the school. So much of the application process is abstract, and an interview really makes things tangible and realistic. The interviewee truly gets to see if this is where he/she wants to study medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
