Congratulations ! I think you can remain on other waitlists after the 10 days.Admitted today after admit hold in Feb! It says I have 10 days to pay a deposit in order to reserve my slot for the Class... does anyone know if i can remain on other waitists after this 10 days? the deadlines are a bit confusing
Yesss, there’s definitely still time !With you there brother. Hang tight lol
Yesss, there’s definitely still time !
definitely still time!!No interview yet smh
Yes. You have to choose PTE for one school at that point but you then remain on waitlists till your chosen school’s CTE date.Got the A today after admit hold in Feb! It says I have 10 days to pay a deposit in order to reserve my slot for the Class... does anyone know if i can remain on other waitists after this 10 days? the deadlines are a bit confusing
When did you interview if I might askGot Admit Hold this afternoon. Praying for some movement between now and orientation!
I had my student interview in early April and then my faculty interviews this past weekendWhen did you interview if I might ask

Awesome! I had my student interview on April 1st and my faculty this past weekend! Just waiting on the MMI 😩Yes I did!
When does class start?
thank you so much for this. do any of the on campus housing options accommodate dogs?Current student here (again). Congrats to everyone who has been admitted so far! And for those still waiting on interviews, on the waitlist, etc. you're still in this! Meharry doesn't do soft rejections so if you're still under review, you still have a shot. If you're OOS, it may be beneficial to emphasize to them that Meharry is your first choice, whether that be in your interview or in a letter. This close to the start of the year, they often pull from people close by. Also yes, people leave the class all the way up to at least the first day. Some of my classmates were accepted a couple days before or even a week after. I was accepted 4 weeks before. Yes, it's stressful but if you really want to come, hang in there.
I saw some of y'all talking about the cost of living/loans. Yeah it's pretty steep, I'm not gonna lie, but try not to worry too much about that. Meharry has hired a financial consultation group that gives us advice and does free one-on-ones starting from your first year. Also, remember at the end of it all, you'll be a doctor. The loans will get paid eventually.
In terms of housing, if you haven't already, get on the waitlist for on-campus housing. They are almost done with a new building, and there's also Morena, Towers, and Dorothy Brown. They all offer different things. In order of comfortability/niceness, Dorothy->Towers->Morena->The new one. Morena and the new one are gonna be the nicest ones. Towers (where I live) isn't that bad depending on what unit you're in and it's suuuuper cheap so you can save money. I'm talking $675/month. Dorothy is even cheaper but it's a dorm. Yes, there's issues with both Towers and Dorothy, but I feel the money saved and the convenience of being on campus definitely makes it worth it. A bunch of my classmates moved on campus after 1st year because they couldn't keep up the cost of living elsewhere. I'd be more than happy to give more info on any of these places if anyone wants to know.
Also any other questions y'all might have, feel free to drop them here! I'll try to answer them as best I can. A lot is changing at Meharry right now, but I'll try to give as much info as possible.
What is considered comfortable rent based on what we’ll receive?Current student here (again). Congrats to everyone who has been admitted so far!

Not unless it’s an emotional support animal or service dog, and you’re only allowed to have one animal. No pets allowed otherwise.thank you so much for this. do any of the on campus housing options accommodate dogs?
All exams are nbme exams. Weekly quizzes are internal and written by the professors.What is considered comfortable rent based on what we’ll receive?
Also how are we tested in our classes? Are they NMBE style questions?
I was wondering too about the whole Admit Hold process. At what point do you need to do the whole "plan to enroll"? Do you wait until the actual acceptance? Do you do anything at all other than wait? It seems so similar to being wait-listed.Hey! Does anyone know the likelihood of an admit-hold applicant being accepted into this cohort?
You can't select "Plan to Enroll" until a school makes you an offer of admission. "Admit Hold" is kind of like telling you you're very high on the WL and when anyone drops from the class you'll be one of the first to take their place.I was wondering too about the whole Admit Hold process.

That's what I thought, but the vernacular was throwing me off. Thank you for clarifying.You can't select "Plan to Enroll" until a school makes you an offer of admission. "Admit Hold" is kind of like telling you you're very high on the WL and when anyone drops from the class you'll be one of the first to take their place.
It's still essentially a WL position right now.
Hm depends on the rest of your expenses. I think anything under $1400 is doable with the right budget. Under $1200 will be the most comfortable. Also depends how far you are from school, if you have to spend a lot on gas. Lots of factors.What is considered comfortable rent based on what we’ll receive?

Was there a ton of interest from current students in the new housing units (LLC) since it is the nicest?Current student here (again). Congrats to everyone who has been admitted so far!

you're def not the only one lol. There were some people that got pulled from "Admit Hold" on Monday, so maybe we can expect more movement at the beginning of next week?Am I the only crazy person checking this thing over and over hoping for an update? Has there been any movement out there?
how many slots are open?They’re accepting students all the way into June, up to right before classes begin. If Meharry is your only option, be prepared to move within a 24-72 hour period. Just my two cents..
Yeah but last I checked the waiting list hadn't opened yet.Was there a ton of interest from current students in the new housing units (LLC) since it is the nicest?
It is not my only option, but it is my favorite option. I like so many things about the school, Including the people who interviewed me. I genuinely liked them.They’re accepting students all the way into June, up to right before classes begin. If Meharry is your only option, be prepared to move within a 24-72 hour period. Just my two cents..
That is good to hear. I'm not sure if I just didn't do a good job of keeping track but it seemed like there was little movement when I checked this thread. This is the only resource I know of.you're def not the only one lol.

I think it did! 2 weeks ago. But I believe they’re still putting together the waitlist. I was trying to gauge if I would be higher on the waitlist or not so thanks for the answer!Yeah but last I checked the waiting list hadn't opened yet.

Thanks for letting me know! It's early and nothing was announced to us on campus, so if you put yourself on the list, you're probably near the top.The waiting list for LLC opened on April 21st.
so I've creeped on their previous years threads and saw interviews going out until May, but honestly it can't hurt to reach out and askIs Meharry med school still interviewing? I think the last acknowledgment I received from them was in December or January that my application was under review or something.
I sent one when I was waiting bc it was getting close to class starting (I think I sent it about 4 weeks before), but I was also never told that they weren't accepting updates.Hey yall
so when I was under review I was told they wouldn't be accepting updates or LOIs at that time.....now that im done interviewing is it open season again? I already emailed to ask (no response yet) but was curious as to if any of you know?
kk thank you!! also did you get in or is this a shot in the darkI sent one when I was waiting bc it was getting close to class starting (I think I sent it about 4 weeks before), but I was also never told that they weren't accepting updates.
Hello,There is movement almost every other day. People are leaving the group, being removed, and added.
They accepted me like 2 days laterkk thank you!! also did you get in or is this a shot in the dark
OMGG congrats! I hope I have the same success :')They accepted me like 2 days later
