What are your general comments?

My interview was very organized and well planned. The interviewers were kind, polite, smiled, and were easy to converse with. They really seemed interested in getting to know me and learning about my motivation for applying to med school. The lunch with the students actually provided the most insight and I believe the close connection they had with each other was very unique to Meharry.
