No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Feedback on this site, read through every link on the Meharry website, and talked to current students.

What impressed you positively?

The freshman and sophomore labs were up-to-date, nice, and roomy. The faculty was very informative and welcoming. Everyone was just very laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

The clinics seemed a little small and there were hardly any patients, but it might have just been the time of day. You do have to go out and recruit your own patients at this school. So, the whole clinical experience you need in dentistry might be harder to obtain here.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just that we interviewed before the tour of the school.

What are your general comments?

My first interview was actually fun. It is more like having a conversation. You just have to be confident in yourself and be honest. My second interviewer was kind of aloof. It was more difficult because he didn't initiate the conversation. I had to find a way to get it going.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
