Not 100% sure if everyone gets an interview, but they take ED very seriously. If you look at their class profiles over the years, you'll see that the overwhelming majority of the cohort comes from ED.

I found this class profile of 2027. ED share of the incoming class is a lot smaller vs 2024 or 2025

Those numbers make sense given the fact that those cohorts around that time coincide with the Columbus campus opening in 2022.

Wait why would Columbus campus opening caused a drop in ED acceptance?

I get that the total number student body increased but why ED was lower?

ED numbers seems to have gone up for class of 2029 per MSAR. 73 ED matriculated out of 176 total, so it's still almost about half

This. Either way... a significant portion of the class comes from ED. What I'd be curious to know is the average size of the ED applicant pool per cycle.

Also, a percentage of those ED students come from the Master's linkage program, and it's a pretty good rate of those who matriculate from that program.

Where'd you see that? Mercer's site says "When applying, MSPCS students must apply through the “Regular Pool” admissions process. Any Early Decision applicants would not have grades from the MSPCS program before the Early Decision deadlines."

I've attended the program. Students apply under Regular Decision, but for linkage, their applications are pulled out from that pool of applicants for a guaranteed interview, provided they have a certain MCAT score and end their 1st semester with a 3.5.
