Meharry has lower than average board scores.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they didn't serve breakfast. I would have eaten at my hotel so I wouldn't be hungry during the interview process.

What are your general comments?

It was freezing cold! The temperature was in the twenties in the evening. Meharry is a relatively old school. They were doing construction in the building I was interviewing in so the construction was kind of distracting. On of my interviewer was late AND cut my interview early when I still had things to say. The interview ended up being about 15 minutes so I'm not sure if he really knows enough info about me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
