2017 ****The Official Meharry Class of 2017 Interview/Acceptance Thread****

[Member201390]

Yes I'm on the wait list. I don't think the class has been filled yet. I just need to know! Tired of waiting. I guess only 10 more days..

I know this is a really bad indicator but (it's the only hope I've got) the Facebook group has stagnated at 38 members for about a month now and there are at least 55 seats in the class right?

 

[Member201390]

I was thinking the same thing. The 38 members include members that are from class of 2016 as well. So the actual number is a little lower. And I think the class size is 60. Its the only thing giving me hope as well. I really hope we get in.

Well as Mr. Luten said 'Keep the faith'. I'm glad someone else is creeping on that group as much as I am! Best of luck!!

I'm a 1st time applicant and Meharry is my first choice. I made a 17 on the DAT the first time. I plan on retaking again in September. Does anyone think this is a late test date for the 2013-2014 cycle?

its not too late to take the test then but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SUBMIT your app with the 17 latest July 15th. You will probably get an interview from some schools with your 17, don't let anyone tell you its not possible. So do as follow

1. do your research (schools that will look at 17 , Louisville, Meharry, Howard, Case etc,) and apply wide (10 schools at least) submit app by July 15

2. Prep for DAT rigorously, even if you get an interview before the test.

3. Stay positive. there are enough negative people , so be opposite

Absolutely great advice...couldn't have said it better.

I know there's at least one person (according to the Facebook group) that moved off the waitlist into acceptance on Monday. I'm not even on the waitlist though... I shouldn't have any hope left, right? I'm just mad that they didn't tell me earlier. If I'm going to pause my life for a decision, I tend to hope it's a good one...

Why don't you call them? Tell them your situation and ask for a clear explanation. I'd speak with one of the professors from the admission committee, not the secretary who is going to tell you the same line over and over again. It sucks and its unfair that they have you going crazy from not knowing where you stand. I find it really awkward that they tell some applicants they are wait-listed and not others. How are you suppose to move forward? Anyway, don't let this ruin your dreams, Every Dog Has Its Day! Just improve your standings in grad school so you don't have to go through this again. At the end of the day, there was something that you didn't have that the other applicants had. Just brush your shoulder off and grind even harder in grad school. You never know, you may end up at a school like Harvard or UPenn. You have till the middle of june to hear back from Meharry, so keep some hope alive. Keep ya head up

Thanks for the advice! I called and got a hold of Ms. Smith and she said that all of the admission decisions had already been sent out... Is anyone else still waiting on an admission decision? Because I haven't heard a word yet. I'm working and need to tell my employers whether I need to train someone in quickly or not. If it's a no, why can't I get an email?

Just got accepted off the wait-list. Tough decision as I am already set to go to another D-school but I am considering it.
