Looked through SDN and looked at the school website

What impressed you positively?

The visit was laid back, and the interviews were in the same building. The admissions staff were welcoming and informative.

What impressed you negatively?

Two things: the tour, and the some of the students I met at lunch. The tour guide was the sweetest man, but we didn't get to walk through the affiliated hospital or go inside any of the buildings. We literally took a brief walk around the block. The students at lunch weren't very receptive and gave really short, uninformative answers to interviewees. I didn't take them as representatives of the rest of the school, because I've met several great students there before.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I'm from Nashville, so I'm pretty familiar with Meharry.

What are your general comments?

The interviews were pretty laid back, and fellow interviewees were friendly. Arrived at 8, went through three interviews, financial aid presentation, tour, lunch with students, and then I was done by 1.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
