How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback and reviewed my file. The most helpful way is to just be yourself and everything else will fall into place.

What impressed you positively?

The smaller class size, how the professors and students interacted with each other, cost of living in Nashville compared to other cities

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. I took into account all of the negative things that people put on their feedbacks and none of that stuff really bothered me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I was pretty prepared for everything I came across that day.

What are your general comments?

I wanted to be more detailed than other people had been, so here I go. My interview day began at 8:30AM with a group activity followed by a presentation by the financial aid department and the Army. Then we were assigned to our interviewers. Afterwards, we ate lunch then went on the tour. Next we filled out an evaluation and that's it. The day wrapped up about 1pm. My experience was very good. I left the school with the feeling that I didn't do too well on my interviews because one went good and the other, not so good. It is true that you are your toughest critic because I was accepted. This is my second time applying to dental school and Meharry was the only school to give me an answer in a timely fashion. This is another plus to me!!!!!
