Why Meharry?

What was the most interesting question?

Why Meharry? These people are not stupid, they know what they are asking, and can smell a lie a mile away! BTW I answered it honestly! ;)

What was the most difficult question?

"Tell something unique about you" I guess this question is very relative, and I to be honest, no one has ever asked me that on an inteview! So a toughie for me.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Knew a few folks that went there and read about it's history. Strongly recommend this because if you are looking for high tech mooshie stuff this is not a place for you. If you are trully willing to learn to be a dentist and treat people regardless of their socio economic status, and value humanity, this is the place for you.

What impressed you positively?

It was so nice to see people of color together, and wanting to make this world a better place. Unfortunately there aren't too many African Americans in the dental profession and for them to want to be at Meharry to help me and you, makes it even more impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

What the students have is not much as far as high tech stuff goes but they work as a team, help each other and really want to be there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The amount of togetherness, I wish I knew that prior.

What are your general comments?

I doubt I did well in my interviews the questions were tough, I did not feel at ease. If I do get in I will be shocked! My academic scores are good far from bad, but my interview was tough. I still liked the place and the people. The location did not concern me, I want o be a dentist not a princess with dynamic tools and no skills! Look you have to think outside the box, and be positive about challenges if you want to make it happen! Good luck & God bless.
