I'm thinking about applying to Mercer University and want to know if their admissions process is rolling. If anyone has details on their deadlines, it would be a huge help!
Sure, I can help with that!
Mercer University operates on a rolling admissions basis which refers to a college or university's policy of reviewing applications as they come in and then making decisions on whether to admit applicants or not.
For the undergraduate admissions for the 2025-2026 application cycle:
- The application opens on August 1, 2025.
- The priority deadline for submission of the application and FAFSA is December 1, 2025. This means if you apply by this date, you will be considered for the maximum institutional financial aid.
- The regular decision deadline is February 1, 2026. After this date, Mercer continues to accept applications on a space-available basis.
Please remember that some selective programs at Mercer like pre-med or engineering might have their specific deadlines and requirements, so it would be a good idea to check those as well if you are interested.
Once submitted, your application will be reviewed, and if it's complete, it will be ready for a decision. Generally, you can expect a decision notification approximately two to four weeks after all of your required materials have been received, but this timeline might vary a bit depending on the time of year and volume of applications.
Best of luck with your application to Mercer University!
