Good luck to all applying!

Remember to schedule your Casper exam.

Does Meharry require Casper before they send an interview invite or just wants it done before your interview? Tryna figure out if it’s necessary to complete it in order for them to review my app.

And of course I’m gonna do it but wanted to know if I could put it on hold until an interview invite comes (money is tight right now).
 
had the opportunity to tour the campus and asked about secondaries - they said they read each application thoroughly and only send out secondaries to those who align with their mission. Secondaries are estimated to be sent out mid August - late August. good luck everyone, we got this 💕

"Have you ever participated in a summer or other enrichment program?"

Am I supposed to pick one from high school?

Also do you know if they are asking if you participated in a program with Meharry or just in general?
 
Does anyone see a word/character limit for the essay questions?

So I would presume receiving a secondary today means the school likes what they see on my primary? I hope that's the case b/c I am a low MCAT hopeful for an acceptance ahh.
 
Congratulations. Could you please post the questions?
Same as last year! No limit for both!

  • Why do you wish to attend Meharry Medical College School of Medicine?
  • Please describe a personal situation of failure, a significant challenge, or a major obstacle that you have overcome. Include a description of your coping skills and lessons you learned from that situation.
 
They asked the following:
Application History
Prior Medical School

Type of Application

Previous Years

Most Recent Disposition

Not sure what they mean by this. Do they mean what type of application we sent as in medical school applications and what years and if we were accepted/rejected?
 
If I have more than 3-5 letters included in my Committee Letter Packet, does that count?
Or does a committee letter count as 1 letter?

I know my committee letter doesn't include a combination of letters but counts as 1 and satisfies the LOR requirements
 
Did anyone get a complete email from Meharry after submitting secondary?

Since I went on tour, they now have a whole new admission coordinator so this may not stand 😩 hope everything works out for you! 💕💕

i got a successfully submitted!
 
On the secondary, under application history, what are we supposed to put for type of app, previous years, and most recent disposition? Why is this confusing to me lol
 
I emailed the school and they stated that for the 2025 application cycle, the Admissions Committee will be "looking to review applicants with a 505 MCAT score (or greater)" 😭😞 what happened to holistic review and mcat is just one part of the application.. sighs
Interesting. Shouldn't they screen applicants then?

secondary fees are $$, i think their just going to screen again after secondaries are submitted.

when i toured last month, i talked to like 24 students, every one of them had above a 503. this may mean nothing, but also something lol
 
Are they still sending out secondaries? I haven't received theirs 🙁

they were referring to interviews. They'll still send secondaries, but they were specifically talking about giving out interviews to students who have a 505 MCAT and above because I told them that my mcat score is still pending and they suggested that I waited to see my results.

When you have a 504🙃 and just submitted your secondary 2 days ago 😀
 
Hey guys, are the secondary prompts the same as last year? And is there a word count?
