Have any of you December/January interviewees heard from Meharry yet?

I remember reading a past posting that said their turn around time is usually two weeks.

Thanks! 🙂
 
I was told three weeks. I know people waiting longer than a month.
 
Ah... I was the one who was told two weeks... this Thursday will make three weeks... so I'm gonna hold out til tomorrow before I call...
 
Don't Hold your breath
 
How long was it after sending in your secondary app. did it take to hear something from the admissions comm. about your interview? I am still waiting to hear something.....rejection or interview. I cant speak to anyone when I call. I was told to email. Deborah Davis...she sent me a memo telling me about the process instead of my status. Was it quick for you?

I don't know if this really helps you much since it was a while ago:

Complete: 9/26
Confirmation: 10/07
Invitation: 10/19 for 11/4

I ended up cancelling the interview. Best of luck, I've heard really good things about the medical school!
 
Secondary Submitted: 10/7
Interview Invite: 11/18
Scheduled Interview Date: 12/16 (but I had an exam, so I moved it)
Actual Interview date: 1/12

Good luck to you!

That's great. CONGRATS! I just had my interview on Thursday. They told me three weeks. So hopefully that's how long it will take, and not over a month.

can i ask you guys what your stats were....GPA? MCAT?...etc....thanks
 
For some reason, I don't think MCATs and GPA matter as much to Meharry as they might to other schools. If you have a decent GPA, decent MCATs, and expressed desire to work with the underserved, or even just look like there might be more to you in person than just numbers, I think they'll give you a chance. (I know that's vague, but I think that Meharry is one school that once your AMCAS has shown them that u can handle the basics in terms of GPA/MCAT and that you are an interesting person, numbers cease to matter)

I just got rejected last night and I was complete around October or November.

Were you rejected before or after you received an interview?

By what means? Snail mail? Sorry to hear that. 🙁

yeah, I was accepted two weeks after the interview. pretty quick. I absolutely loved the school!(surprise, surprise) but now that I have four other acceptances , I am doubting what my heart is telling me. Do they have a second look visit/event/weekend?

Before the interview.

Not to my knowledge (esp. with school starting in the summer), but I'm sure you could always call the school and arrange for one!
 
I got a certified mail notice in my mailbox, but they say I cant come pick up the letter until Monday. I see that someone has been accepted by certified mail... Do they also do waitlist/rejections via this route? Its driving me crazy... 😱

ACK! That's the same thing that happened to me. I went to the post office to see if it happened to be there the same day anyways. I lucked out and the carrier came in like right then and gave me the letter.

I'll cross my fingers for you!!
