What impressed you positively?

Nashville is a great city... lots of things to do there. Meharry is right in downtown too so its very close to everything. The school is older, but the facilities are nice.. it has two hospitals right on campus so you dont have to drive to a clinical. The faculty is very nice, and the students seem very tight knit.

What impressed you negatively?

The whole day was a little disorganized. There was no tour, we were told just to find the location of our interview, and then hang out until lunch... This can be good if you are outgoing... but if you arent you might have alot of time on your hands alone.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Meharry starts early... June 16th!!!

What are your general comments?

Wonderful... The school is great. I wasnt expecting much and It blew me away. The interviewers were very friendly. The first interview I had engaged me in a conversation so it really wasnt even question/answer... so I liked that. The second interviewer was a little more question/answer but.... he was very friendly and seemed to care about what I had to say.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
