What impressed you negatively?

"We had to find our way to each interview with minimal instructions from the admissions staff. Basically, we were given a map and told to find our way. Some students were unlucky to have back to back interviews in different buildings. Not only is this confusing, but it is stressful when you arrive at an interview a late because you couldn't find your way. Also, the campus tour was cancelled due to rain. The tour guide didn't even attempt to modify the tour...so no tour!" Report Response

"Overall my experience at Meharry was extremely positive. The interviewers for the most part were relaxed and simply wanted to get to know me as an individual. One of my interviews was actually extended because we were having a great conversation.
