It's a no go for me. I was early decision so I'm being thrown back into the pot for round 2.

When was the last batch of interviews sent out? I feel like theyve just been giving out rejections
How different is the second draft? It could b seen as being careless the first time but they did give u the option of emailing it..i wouldn't tbh. Is there more in the second draft or something?
It isn't drastically different, but I did add some more things that were, I think, more specific to the school and helped the essay flow a little better.
In that case i wouldn't recommend sending it. They'd probably compare the two and not think it was necessary to change it. Doubt they'd allow other applicants to slightly edit their essay 😛
To me, it had its good and bad. The best part, to me, were the other interviewees and some students we came across. Everyone was really down-to-earth and I could sense the "family atmosphere" that I had heard thrown around before I got there. Even after the official interview, some current students saw us hanging out around the cafeteria and came and talked to us. It felt good having people be so friendly and it helped put me at ease.
It was also pretty clear that they take their mission very seriously. The theme of eliminating health care disparities was something that both of my interviewers and others made sure to stress.
For the not-as-good, my perspective might be skewed because it was my first interview of the cycle/ever (and it was also their first round of interviewing students this cycle too I think), the day seemed disorganized. It looked like we were going to start at 8 with an introductory presentation, but I guess there were technical difficulties (they never really explained) and that didn't happen, so we all sat in the room for at least 30 mins not knowing what was going on. Then they came in and said interviews were starting now and proceeded to rattle off some names. Those people left and the rest of us were in the room. This continued until lunch, around noon, and it made for sort of an awkward period where no one really knew what was going on or when they would suddenly be called for their interviews. We also didn't get to a financial aid presentation at the end, although we were given printed slides.
Overall, though, I liked it! I could definitely see myself there. Again, it was my first, so I really don't have anything to compare it to. But those were my thoughts, if anyone else was there they can chime in as well.
Hoping that they send a wave of interview invites tomorrow! This whole waiting thing is hard lol, not just Meharry but all schools!
I think it is actually this Friday (10/16) that we may hear something back. Traffic rules do not allow regular admission decisions before October 15th! Best of luck!
II here!! Complete on September 15th!
Congrats! That's so soon!! I was also complete on Sept 15. LizzyM/stats? Hoping you give me some hope!!

Interviewed 10/5 and accepted today!
Congrats to everyone that got accepted!! hopefully now they'll focus on sending out a big batch of interviews since they haven't showed us any love in a minute lol
Accepted!! I expect that they'll start sending out more interview stuff now
yep!
for those that interviewed, were you asked anything about obamacare or things like that?
I talked about how many times I've met Me harry staff at conferences and my conversations with them.
I talked about the community that exists within the university.
I talked about how excited I am to reunite with my friends who are already there, then I talked about my research interests and specifically mentioned faculty I'll like to work with while there.
Then I talked about my experiences working in underserved communities.
I think that's it.
