Are they the same?

No they're not. I received an email saying I was placed on admit hold last week. What they explained to me was that admit hold means the admission committee voted to admit you, but the class is full at the moment. But as soon as a spot becomes available, they'll choose those from the admit hold list before those on the waitlist.

How is that different than waitlist? Also does anyone know the odds of getting off admit hold?

People on the waitlist have not been voted by the admission committee to be admitted, those on admit hold have. That's the difference from what the email explained.

I honestly don't know. I'm praying to just get an update telling me I'm off the admit hold list and have been offered full admission. Quite stressful tbh.

I've looked at 2 previous Meharry threads where ppl received interviews even into late April. 2 ppl in this thread said they have interviews today (3/25) so they are definitely still sending out invites.

Side note: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Still prep for another cycle if you need to. That is what i'm doing. I hate to go through another cycle but it's better to be prepared.

If you have completed a secondary and have no II, is that generally normal for Meharry?

Based on Meharry’s previous threads, some applicants received interviews in April and even in May. & A’s & Pre-II R’s went out at similar dates or even later. So it may be normal, but also things could be different this cycle. Praying they will send us some II’s soon though.

Does anyone know when the FAFSA deadline is? I thought it was June 30th but it looks like it’s 3/1 for Tennessee.

Is this your very first interview?
 
okay now that I'm done hyperventilating. I see that the class is full thus far. has anyone seen any info regarding how their WL procedures work? Is there much movement? (This is assuming I get WL and not flat out rejected ;)

Any current students know if they drug test at orientation or if they drug test at all?

Just replied to your inbox message, but I'll reply here too for anyone else wondering. We were drug tested before clinical rotations. We had like a week window to get it done and they told us a week before the deadline. It was February of this year.

What do they test for, exactly?
 
doc.on.lock said:
It's a 10-panel: cocaine, marijuana, PCP, amphetamines, opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, propoxyphene, & Quaaludes.

I hope they don’t trip when that benzo flashes red! I keep Xanax and Valium in steady rotation.

I felt the exact same way but I took it as a positive thing. And I fell in love also but know the best case scenario is a waitlist.

That's a positive in my eyes. As long as you didn't say anything too wild you should be good.



Also, heads up, interviews seem to be rounding up. Though this doesn't mean it's time to throw in the towels, I just want to be transparent as possible.

The class is full, but it looks like they expect a few ppl to drop off the list they sent out yesterday.

Has anyone who received their secondary on Nov 28 gotten an interview?? I will not be applying this upcoming cycle, but the cycle after. I just want to keep it in mind how their timeline works.

C.O.A for Meharry is about 101k, crazy!

Okay but the tuition is 55,000, which is in line with other private schools, even less, and out of state tuition for a lot of state schools is more than that.

So much of this number is cost of living just because Nashville is expensive, anyone who goes to medical school in a bigger city is going to have to grapple with a ridiculous cost of living. They're budgeting almost 25,000 for room and board, 5000 for transportation, 3000 for personal, etc. I currently work a full-time job, and my take-home pay after taxes is about the amount they budget for room and board. I live in a smaller city though, so I live really well, am able to travel and take vacations, AND I still save some at the end of the month. In a big city, I'm sure it would barely be enough to get by.

It definetely doesn’t exceed 80k. I think they just don’t have funding or the endowment to help students. I think Meharry is the most expensive medical school in the U.S.

Tuition and mandatory fees are about $63k though. Their tuition may be average at $55k but they have high mandatory fees compared to other schools. However, they didn’t list cost of living on their website, so I don’t know where the COA of $101k came from.

That last statement is not factual. Any evidence to support it?
 
Here are 2 links from their website:

Here is a table with the cost of attendance and tuition/fees for every allopathic medical school in the US. Meharry is certainly not the most expensive medical school, nowhere close. TLDR = they are all expensive, overall cost depends not only on tuition, but also location of the school.

"Google it" seems like silly advice, but it truly did take all of 2 minutes to find all of these resources that have all the info people have been debating and asking for. Sometimes the simplest way really is the best way.
