Got an interview invite this morning for 1/30! Whooo! ::happy dance::
My pleasure, thanks for visiting 😀
The application for this school is sorta weird. I completed secondaries 10/25 but TWO entire weeks later, I got info saying "NOW you are complete." I hope a lot of people didn't jump in line ahead of me.
Hey everyone, I know its been a while since I posted anything. I just wanted to take the time out to encourage some of you who are on this journey with me as well. I too have been waiting for interviews and it just seemed like everyday was getting more and more discouraging. But through it all I knew that God had a plann and I knew that if it was his will for me to get into medical school it would happen. Even if you applied to fifteen schools and get rejected to fourteen. Just remember all you need is one yes. I wrote something not too long ago and I wanted to share it with you guys who are still waiting as a means of encouragement. After several months of waiting God has opened the door and I was invited for an interview January 30. So there is still hope folks. Just keep trusting him. He did not bring us this far to leave us. Here is the devotion. Hope it is a blessing. Also, keep me in prayer as I will do the same for you!

There comes a time during everyone's Christian walk when you start to feel tired and weary. Everything around you seems to be going totally opposite from the way you thought it would. You begin to feel like God is not listening to your prayers. You make your requests known to God but it feels like everyone around you is being blessed but you. You ask God for a companion, but your friend gets engaged. You ask God for a job, but your friend gets promoted. You ask God for help into graduate school school, but your friend gets accepted to several schools and now has to decide which one to go to. At that point, you begin to ask God, "Lord what am I doing wrong? Am I missing something. I feel like you are blessing everyone else but me. At this point God, I feel like I am going to throw in the towel." My dear friends, I want to encourage you today by reminding you that God is always on time. There is a lesson that God is trying to teach you and without this process you just might miss it. You need this season more than this season needs you. The Lord is saying to someone today that your due season is soon at hand. Tie that knot just a little tighter and keep holding on. Im getting ready to bless you like I have never blessed you before. But before I do, I need you to stay in the fire just a little longer. I need you to be refined and come out as pure gold.
It is during these times when God wants us to depend on him the most that we depend on him the least. We run to everyone and everything else but him. Im encouraging you to TRUST in him alone. The same promise that he gave to Paul is the same promise he is giving you:"My grace s sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2Chorinthians 12:9)" So my dear friends, when you get the urge to give up, press on a little further. When you feel like this race is too hard to endure remember "The race is not given to the swift nor strong; victory belongs to those who keep on keeping on."
I leave you with this folks, God is not a man that he should ever lie. You may not understand what he is doing. Things may make no sense at all, Trust him anyway. He knows the beginning and the end. He is the God who holds your future. He is the same God today, yesterday and forever more. His promises will never go void. So today, instead of drowning in your despair, tell God "Lord I will not let go until you bless me."
Power Verses:
Psalm 16:5- Lord you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
Psalm 142:3- When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way
Prayer of the day: Dear heavenly father, you bless those who praise your name and delight in your commands. Lord in the midst of the turmoil, I will not be shaken for my heart remains steadfast trusting in you and your overall plan for my life. I want to remain firmly grounded as I overcome the daily obstacles common to all. Help me to learn the valuable lessons along the way as I press on toward the goal for which you have called me heavenward. In Jesus name, Amen
Thanks so much for this, Vessel. Your words are very encouraging. God Bless You!
I support and respect each and every one of you, whether you follow the teachings of Mohammad, Christ, Buddha, or any other deity or alternative theology. Were clearly all in this together. This thread has been one of the most supportive. But as an agnostic, I have to wonder after seeing so many devoted Christians on this thread and nowhere else: Why has Christianity been so uniquely pervasive on this thread?
I'm not looking for a lecture, proselytizing post, or denunciation; I'm just genuinely curious. Does Meharry lean toward Christianity? I dont see it in the Meharry Medical Colleges Mission statement Anyway, just thought I'd ask as we all wait and look toward our beliefs to get us through. I wish each one of you the best of luck. I wish we could all attend.
If you go to Meharry's website, and look hard enough, you will find that they have something on there that says "Worship of God Through service to Mankind". Meharry is also affiliated with the United Methodist Church. I am sure not everyone who goes there is Christian, but the school probably attracts more of us. Secondly. I think people feel safe on this thread to openly talk about religion. I am sure it's not the same on other threads. Hope this answers your question.
Anybody else interviewing on December 5th?
just got wait-listed.. does anyone know the odds of me getting in off the wait-list? Should i send a LOI? if so to who? Ms. Johnson? 🙁 worst day ever!

Any advice on interviewing at this school. I will be there on December 12th. Are there any questions that Meharry likes to ask it's interviewees?

Greetings,
I got an email that I have been put on pre-interview hold 🙁.Anyone have any advice on what I can do?.Meharry is my top choice..Thanks
The one thing I can tell you is that God has a way of opening doors no man can open. This is the time to trust in him the most. If this is where he wants you to go to Meharry, nobody will be able to get in the way of that. I am not saying it will be easy; but what he ordains he will maintain. Trust him like you have never trusted him before. Man looks at your credentials, God looks at your heart,...I'll be keeping you and every other person on this application journey in prayer. Be encouraged and keep your head upI just spoke with Mrs.Davis and was made pretty fearful because Meharry has a "new" policy about students finishing pre-req's before applying rather than before matriculation. I am a 29 year old non-trad with 2 kids, finishing o-chem II now. I don't know what to think, just trusting in God and his provision.
I actually have a pointed question relating to this. Does the strong presence of Christianity at Meharry affect the attitude about homosexuality at Meharry? I've been relatively open at other schools, but I have no problem hiding it during my interviews or for the whole four years if I absolutely have to, though going to an accepting school is definitely important to me.
If anyone could shed light on this, I would be extremely appreciative. I'm not trying to pick apart the school; I'm just trying to figure out which of my options would be the best fit if I even get in at all. You're welcome to PM, but a public post would be really valuable since I'm certain that I'm not the only one who's wondering about this.
A person's sexuality does not affect his/her ability to be a good doctor, so I don't think you should worry about how that might come into play at any interview. I think you should always be yourself. However such private questions will not come up on interviews. It's neither legal to ask...and even more frowned up on to judge a person's character based on it.
If I've learned anything, it's that discrimination (edit) in these kinds of cases (/edit) is always subtle. The questions may not come up, but frankly, it's part of my candidacy that makes me a more unique applicant; it gives me empathy towards those in a similar situation who might feel judged by a heterosexual doctor. Some schools recognize this, others don't or don't care, and still others have doctors who will openly assert their sexuality (steering the conversation toward their wife and kids and such) because they're uncomfortable with the idea of interacting with someone who is openly homosexual. Many schools avoid having these kinds of doctors on their committees and interviewing applicants (think death-qualified juries. Similar idea. Only in this case, letting an openly gay person into your medical school is death.), but others don't.
It's not mentioned in my application (neither on my primary or on Meharry's secondary), so I guess my question can be revised to this: Would it be unwise at this school to bring it up? The only nondiscrimination mentioned at this school is by race and ethnicity, but nothing about sexual orientation is mentioned in any materials. Again, I'd LOVE to get a current student's thoughts on this. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I am a re-applicant. Interviewed there last year. Meharry seemed liked a family oriented and accepting school. I didn't get an overt sense that they would discriminate against a student who was openly gay.
I am not sure you should hide who you are. Think about, if you were to be admitted to Meharry and decided to go, I don't think you would enjoy the next 4 years of your life hiding your sexuality. Nor do you want to be at a school where you would feel uncomfortable about your sexuality.
If you do tell them and they discriminate against you during the interview then Meharry is just not the school for you.
Hope this helps...
Sings ****I got an interview iiiiiiiiiiiinviiiiiiiiiiiiiteeeee****
Super excited!!!!!!
I definitely would do that if I had an acceptance in hand. Unfortunately, I don't, so if Meharry does, in fact, discriminate, there's no way I'm going to be out at my interview. Maybe while I'm at the school, but by then, it will be too late for them to discriminate against me with regard to admission.
