How did you prepare for the interview?

Read all of Meharry's webpage. Reviewed my reasons for being a doctor and this school. Read SDN.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

That the school makes such a difference in the health of especially black populations. And the students were nice, I talked to a good number of them.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

That the campus is confusing. I actually was lost for my third interview, and no one, including people that worked in the hospital, could tell me where internal medicine was. And the people I talked to in Admissions were not helpful to a lost interviewee. But Dr. Mosley and his wife were the exception, they made sure we knew where to go, and had their cell number.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the weather was so cold in TN. How many interviews I would have that day. It wasn't until that morning that I realized I had two faculty interviews, and it wasn't until lunch that I realized that the students were also evaluating us.

What are your general comments?

Meharry is a historic school, that focuses on the health of populations that cannot afford medical care. But it is like a non-profit, in that services are lacking funding. I don't feel I left the school with a good idea of how my life would be as a medical student there. My interviews were pretty spaced out, so I checked out a class in the morning, but get there early if you want to sneak out, all the students had grabbed the easy-escape seats. My first interviewer gave me question after question, but it was worked into conversation. It wasn't that he was tryign to throw me off, but he did want to see how I responded to questions. The student interview was mostly off a check-list. The students seem to get along very well. And my third interviewer was able to take the info I gave him about my current interest in health care and ask me everything he could about it, it almost felt like a debate, but comfortable. Overall all three were comfortable, they all seemed interested in getting to know you as a person, as well as what you're capable of. The level 4 stress is that they ask more challenging questions than other schools I've seen.
