💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why Mercer? (I am out of state so they specifically asked about that)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN.

Everything. The student tour guides were extremely nice as were the faculty and dean. The campus was beautiful and did not seem like it was in downtown ATL. It was in a nice area of town. It has EXCELLENT hospital sites for rotations. Loved it.
What impressed you negatively?
The tuition price!
