Does anyone know if Mercer University accepts students on a rolling admissions basis? I'm trying to make sure I understand how their timeline works and how flexible they might be with application deadlines.
Mercer University, located in Macon, Georgia, follows a more traditional application process with set deadlines rather than a rolling admissions policy. They have specific deadlines for their Early Action and Regular Decision application processes for entering first-year students.
Early Action applications are typically due around November 1st, with notifications sent to students by mid-December. A Regular Decision application is typically due around February 1st, with decisions sent out by early March. It's important to check the school's admissions web page for the most up-to-date information for the application timeline.
Keep in mind that Mercer is also a Common Application member institution, so you'll need to submit your application using that platform. You should consider submitting your application in a timely manner to give yourself the best chance of being considered, as they will start to review applications once they are complete.
After the Regular Decision deadline has passed, some universities may still accept applications if they have not filled their incoming class. However, it's school-specific and may vary from year to year at Mercer. It's always best to reach out to the admissions office directly if you've missed the primary deadlines and are still interested in applying.
