How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Meharry website, talked w/ a couple of students already accepted to Meharry.

What impressed you positively?

The new labs, the small class size, huge influx of patients (the students get great clinical exposure), the warm environment, people are really nice, and they genuinely go out of their way to make you feel at home. The buffet they had ready for us was great as well! The faculty and students have a great relationship. I even enjoyed my stay at the hotel they recommended.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew it would be cold, but I wasn't expecting temperatures to drop to 1 degree celcius!!!

What are your general comments?

Since there weren't many feedbacks posted for Meharry, I basically put down most of the questions they asked me during my interview. And I sincerely hope this helps students who have interviews scheduled at this school. Just in case you're wondering, then yes their current freshman class did consist of students from various enthnic backgrounds. And No, I am not African American :-) We were a group of 8 students, and 2-3 ppl were interviewed at a time. The day itself is pretty relaxed, so there is no need to stress out. Just be yourself, and good luck :-)
