Mercer University School of Medicine was established in 1982 to educate physicians and health professionals to meet the primary care and health care needs of rural, medically underserved areas of Georgia.

1. Summarize your work and learning experiences that reflect congruence with our mission.

2. Based on your understanding of our mission, where and what do you envision yourself doing after completion of medical school and residency, and how does this address the critical need for primary health providers in Georgia?

3. Describe your body of work in service to the underserved and reflect on its importance in preparing you for the practice medicine.

4. Describe your personal experience with rural medicine.

5. Explain to the Admissions Committee experiences, attributes, or qualifications you believe are unique to you that will strengthen the educational environment at MUSM.

6. Discuss your academic readiness for the rigors of our medical school curriculum. If necessary, explain how you overcame academic difficulties.

7. Address any institutional action, including honor code or conduct code violations, from your time as an undergraduate or graduate student. Applicants may answer ‘None’ to this question if the action was deleted, expunged, or otherwise removed from their record by the institution.

8. Highlight any substantial updates to your application (e.g., volunteer experiences) that have occurred after you submitted your primary AMCAS Application.

9. Highlight any experiences or attributes not covered above that would help the Admissions Committee better understand how your distance traveled to medical school and will contribute to our program or the practice of medicine in Georgia.

Is there a word or character limit for these questions? Thanks

Limit is 230 words for every question

Anyone else having a hard time uploading a picture of themselves into the secondary? Every other document besides that one will upload.

Did you ever figure it out? Because mine won't upload either.

Yes! I tried Google Chrome and Incognito mode. Neither worked. I also tried both jpg and jpeg files, both under the MB limit. Still did not work. So, I called! Spoke with a really kind lady who had me email her the jpeg, and she was able to upload it for me directly into my secondary! Hope that helps. I would not hesitate to call if you are having the same issue; the lady I spoke with seemed happy to help.

Yea I just got it 30 mins ago.
