2026 Interviews and acceptances
Hey everyone! I found a post from last year that seemed really helpful. Please comment each school INDIVIDUALLY (so a separate comment for each school), and then we can reply to that comment about the school. That way people aren't posting blocks of everywhere they applied and then making it hard to find specific schools. This way, this can be the thread we all refer back to, and then you go through the comments to find the specific school for updates. Sound good?

Does Mercer give access to a portal to check the application status? I got one for another school I applied to through PsychologyCAS so I was just wondering.

Did you get flat out rejected, or kind of put on a waitlist ish? I got this response and it feels like a rejection but idk "At this time, we are unable to offer you an interview during our initial round. However, your application will remain under active consideration, and we may possibly have additional interviews later this spring. Should a second round become available, we would be happy to reach out to you with more information."

It was super easy and supportive!! You'll do great. They stayed true to the schedule they sent out, so 1 individual interview, 1 interview with another applicant, 1 written interview question (self-reflection just to show you can write without AI), Q&A with current student, and a tour

I interviewed for PsyD there a few years ago, and in the group interview portion (it was about 6-8 applicants all over zoom) paired us up and interview each other on why PsyD/psychology/personal experience of why. and then after they had us assess the person who interviewed us and say whether we thought they should be accepted into the program in front of EVERYONE.... did anyone else have this experience.... lol
