2020-2021 Meharry

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I heard Meharry is not sending II until the end of the month. They said they are behind by a month at a virtual fair I went to last month. Ppl love to create unnecessary anxiety and not respond timely to reasonable questions. They just finished updating the ED applicants.
Well good thing we are almost at the end of the month...fingers crossed
 
wow my stats are low im shocked i asked bc i just verified and then just a secondary
How low is low? The pre med journey is one that makes people feel inadequate and yes performing well is important but I believe Meharry is a school that knows that it isn't just 3.8 and above that has promise as a physician. They also know it's a journey and there may be other factors that impacted your performance. They really are quite understanding and they try to pinpoint applicants who TRULY meet their mission. I'm technically a low stat applicant as well: 3.2 sgpa 3.53cgpa and 502 but as of now I'm still in the running! Lol we will see how it works out in the end though. What were your stats?

I think that means it is complete. I received that and then another that said "thank you for completing your online form" then ANOTHER that said " On behalf of the School of Medicine Admissions Committee, I wish to thank you again for the time and effort taken in submitting your application for admission to the School of Medicine at Meharry Medical College. Please note that that your file submitted on.... is still under review."

I have a question : how receptive is Meharry towards non AA applicants ?!
There are a good number of non AA Students in each class in the medical school. You really HAVE to match up with mission, values and motto. Meharry is truly about the community so you have to demonstrate that you are too

Well if you look at their stats you will see the first year class is usually predominantly black but there are people from other demographics. I guess it depends on if they can sense you have a GENUINE desire to attend there and can convince them of why, as well as a commitment to underserved communities. Like any other school, it's a gamble of whether or not your total package will convince adcoms. It's truly very hard to give a hard answer to this question.
 
I'm definitely pretty enthusiastic about attending Meharry but yall.....if anyone of us get in, we HAVE to urge that they do better with communication and just how the present themselves. It's unprofessional for phones to ring off the hook every day, or just go to dial tones, it's unprofessional for your campus directory to be inaccurate, it's unprofessional for half the links on your website to say error or lead to a blank page, it's unprofessional to charge FAP for secondary app fee then when I contact them regarding a refund, still have not heard back a month later and its unprofessional to force ED applicants to withdraw because you far exceeded your ED deadline. They school has merits and I'm excited to attend but that's because I'm looking past all these red flag things. If they want to attract more students who don't have inside knowledge they have to put up a better presentation.

Good luck. They already know these shortcomings- very slow to change. Although one of the goals is to updated their website

Meharry has been like this for a long time. This is the reason I ended up going somewhere else, but they are a great school. I have friends who go there who say that the administration is aware of the complaints and are trying to do their best to fix the issues.
 
Haven’t heard anything besides the “thank you for submitting your secondary email.”

Yes, I hear good things from students and alumni as well which is why I still want to attend but I'm curious how long it takes to work on these basic elements of professionalism.

Yes, I definitely hear good things about what it's like to be a student there.
 
do we have to complete a Casper test before hearing about an interview? I got a secondary which I submitted but have yet to take the Casper test.

Not necessarily. Their website says they definitely need your scores by the interview date so you could get an invite before youve taken it then but try to plan accordingly so scores are in. Honestly just take it as soon as you can.

Is there a way to ever find out casper scores? I took it a while back but they never gave me scores or anything !
