What are your general comments?
Overall, I like Meharry's approach to education, albeit a bit overbearing. The familial atmosphere and super support system is a real plus for anyone needing it or wanting to take advantage of it. Hopefully all of the students aren't as unpleasant as the group we met!
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, review AMCAS and secondary app essays, review school website.
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything else you want me as your interviewer to know about you that is not represented in your AMCAS application? (asked about three times in succession!!)
What impressed you positively?
The history of the school and how staff are so passionate about making it a part of your total educational experience.
What impressed you negatively?
The student interview session! They were extremely standoffish, and not very welcoming at all. They did answer questions pretty well, but never smiled, never made eye contact, and seemed to have some weird clique and hazing-type rituals going on...yuck.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The campus tour was very informative, but didn't really entail much (i.e., we didn't even have time to actually walk through the building that classes are held in). You have to make your own time/arrangements for a more in depth tour, or to sit in on a class, etc.
