What are your general comments?

"I was told to arrive on campus at 10am for an afternoon interview session. Brief introduction followed by financial aid presentation and audio tour with Dr. Atwater. We were supposed to go on a campus tour but the weather was awful. Dr Atwater is a very dynamic speaker and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him discuss the history of the college. Lunch with medical students and then interviews were scheduled in 30 minute blocks from 1-2:30. The day was done by 3pm. I had 1 interview; was supposed to be for 30 minutes. It ran over a bit. I believe the lunch with medical students was good though I think they do evaluate the interviewees. Following lunch, the admissions manager definitely pulled them into a room (don't know what that's about). Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by Meharry. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did but I was impressed by the environment. Meharry seems like they are trying to get students that really believe in their mission statement. I really appreciate how all research on campus is conducted to fulfill their dedication towards serving minority populations." Report Response
