✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on healthcare. Read sdn, my primary and secondary applications and the meharry website, prayer and a good 8 hours of sleep the night before.

What impressed you positively?

Family-oriented environment, very close knit, a lot of work with the community and the sense that the faculty and staff actually care about YOU as an individual.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the facilities appeared to be old, but that did not bother me too much.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that it wouldn't be stressful!

What are your general comments?

There were two one-on-one interviews. Everyone was really nice and seemed to be more concerned with getting to know you as a person as opposed to as a student. Lunch with the medical students was probably the most informative part of the day. You get a lot of great feedback and honest answers to your questions. I'd suggest staying at the Millenium Maxwell Hotel, the one that they recommend. Shuttle service is really great, will take you to and from Meharry and to and from the airport.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Better tour of the school and cut down the time of the financial aid presentation.
