What are your general comments?
First, we watched a video on the history and mission of Meharry (it has a rich heritage), then we were given a tour of the campus. The admissions director was out of the country, but we were given his cell phone number if we had additional questions. After the tour, we had to find our intervewers on our own (which I didn't like), but the interviews were very laid back and conversational. While waiting for interviews, we could sit in on a class, which was nice and different from my other interviews. At lunch, we ate with some 2nd years, who went around asking us if we have any questions, then interviewing us one on one. Overall, it was a great experience!
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Do I plan on having a family, and how would that fit into my life/career plans?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN
What impressed you positively?
The fact that they really hold to their mission of serving the underserved. Everyone was really friendly; the interviewers were made to feel like we were family, as is the entire school one big family.
What impressed you negatively?
The low % of USMLE Step I pass rates for the past year (they are working on that though; they hired Kaplan to come and prepare their students at no charge, which I think is amazing)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the lunch with the students was an interview, too. That kinda threw me, but it was still really nice.
