I had my interview the week before Thanksgiving. One, the people are VERY friendly and show a genuine interest in getting to know you as a person. The school stands firm in its philosophy of serving underserved communities. The facilities and VERY clean--either recently/currently renovated and state of the art facilities with all the the current dental technology. You will definitely get a great education at Meharry no doubt. The small class size 50 students makes it easier to get individual attention esp during clinical training. They have maintained a solid and prestigious reputation over the years. They focus on producing good, quality and highly-skilled dentists and not much on the research aspect of dentistry. However, the institution is VERY costly but offer an abundance of scholarships.
Do not sleep on Meharry; it's definitely an institution worth considering. Wish you all well.....
