Linkage Agreement with Mercer University
Agnes Scott’s Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical (PBPM) students meeting certain qualifications are guaranteed early entrance into Mercer University School of Medicine.
PBPM students can enroll in medical school immediately upon completion of Agnes Scott’s PBPM program instead of spending the next year applying to medical schools. By participating in the Agnes Scott-Mercer linkage program, you can avoid the “glide year” and be a whole year closer to reaching your goal of becoming a medical doctor.
To qualify for the Mercer linkage program, you must:
- Be willing to practice primary care in rural or underserved Georgia
- Be a resident of Georgia
- Enter Agnes Scott’s PBPM program in the summer session
Once you have been selected to apply under the linkage agreement, you must:
- Complete all prerequisite science courses required by Mercer
- Complete all Agnes Scott PBPM requirements
- Maintain an overall grade point average of 3.5 or greater
- Earn at least a 27 on the MCAT
- Continue to demonstrate the personal, ethical and professional qualities required of Mercer’s School of Medicine students
