What are your general comments?
Overall, my interview experience was positive. After the interview, I knew that I had impressed my interviewers. I am not a perfect student academically, but I feel that my sincerity and ambition to become a dentist shined in my interview. After visiting Meharry, this is where I KNEW I wanted to come. By the way, I received my acceptance letter less than 2 weeks later!
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Do you have any questions for me? (Make sure that you ask questions! Remember, this is supposed to be like a conversation, so I cannot stress this enough!)
What was the most interesting question?
Tell me about youself. The first interviewer just asked me to talk about how I became interested in dentistry, and how my interest applies to their motto, which is to "serve the underserved."
How did you prepare for the interview?
I looked over possible questions that could be asked on the internet, and I checked out this website.
What was the most difficult question?
Why Meharry,in comparison to the previous school I had interviewed with? How did Meharry differ/compare from my undergraduate institution?
What impressed you positively?
The family atmosphere. When I was given a tour of the school,I was ableto see how well the students interacted with each other as a "true" family would. The professors seem to take a keen interest in the well being and success of their students.
What impressed you negatively?
The surrounding area outside of the campus. However, the campus is secured well, and the crime rate is low, which is good. I did not feel endangereed at all.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wished that I had eaten breakfast! I was too nervous to eat, but the interview was very relaxed and cofortable.
