Hi everyone, I'm a junior and Mercer is high on my potential college list. I've heard about their early admissions program, but I'm not totally clear on the details. What’s the timeline? What are the benefits? Is it more competitive? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Sure, happy to share some info on Mercer's Early Admission process.
November 1 is the Early Action Deadline
December 1 is when FAFSA Opens
December 6 is for the Priority Scholarship Deadline
May 1 is the National Decision Deadline
Finally, another benefit to consider is that applying early lets you know where you stand quicker. It allows you to either secure your spot earlier than regular decision applicants, or gives you additional time to apply to other colleges if you're not admitted. It's also recommended to check out Mercer's net price calculator to ensure the financial aspect works for your family. Remember, there are pros and cons to Early Action, so take the time to weigh your options carefully. Depending on your situation and Mercer's fit, either could be a great opportunity. Best of luck on your college application journey!
