How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website, spoke to Meharry student, re-read AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

The people were very friendly

What impressed you negatively?

The lunch was tiny. At the beginning, they tried to act that the lunch with the students was going to be informal, then they turned it in to an interview. The school does not have a lot of financial resources and the facilities look sort of worn down.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lunchtime with the students will be an interview. The 3 interviews counts for 1/3 of your overall admissions score.

What are your general comments?

I felt iffy about the whole interview visit. The people were nice, but the interview day seemed a bit unorganized. Nashville seemed like a nice place and it is an inexpensive city to live in. We had a chance to sit in on a lecture and all of the students were talking, passing notes, eating, playing games on their laptops, and all in all not engaged in what was being said. They were all just there because attendance gets taken during lecture (something that I've never heard of at a med school). Come with quesitons about the school b/c they all give you a lot of time to ask about the school

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
