What are your general comments?

My experience here was very poor. If it were my only option for medical school, I may have viewed it more positively. Considering it wasn't, between the lack of a real campus, horrendous interviewers, and lack of value for money, this clearly was not the place for me.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why Mercer?

What was the most interesting question?

None. All were generic.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read materials, talked to students

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing was terribly difficult.

What impressed you positively?

Location in Savannah...and that's about it

What impressed you negatively?

Both interviewers seemed to have social interaction issues (so much so that student tour guides apologized on their behalf without prompting), Savannah "campus" is much less a campus and more a couple of rooms at a hospital, value for the money seemed incredibly lacking, very cagey when asked about success of PBL

Nothing

Especially at the Savannah campus, put your best faces forward especially with interviews. My entire interview process was awkward, and that came from the demeanor of the interviewers themselves.
