✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, application, Meharry's mission.

What impressed you positively?

There were 3 interviews and one was open-file, the other was closed-file, and in the other the interviewer knew only my bio, essay and volunteering experience. I thought this was a good method because it eliminates biases.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. As others said, the facilities are somewhat old, but I don't really care for that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Everything was as expected from SDN feedback.

What are your general comments?

The day went according to schedule from 8am-1pm. We had some presentations, the interviews, and the tour in the morning. In the afternoon we had lunch with the students, which allowed to ask questions about the student life. There was a cold front, so it was freezing, especially during the tour. I recommend that you check the weather before going.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
