I interviewed at Hampton U last week and I'm pretty sure I'll be getting accepted. For me, it was a decision between Meharry and Hampton. I was literally praying that I only get accepted to one school, that way I wouldn't have to choose and I'd be where I was supposed to be. I haven't heard anything from Meharry but they just looked at my file a couple days ago. So I don't know what's going to happen. I'm wishing you all the best though!

That's great you got interviewed! In my opinion though since Meharry has a dental school I would do their program if I were you.

Makes sense if I picking up and moving were that simple. I will only be able to do a big move for dental school. It's too stressful to pick up with five kids and an active duty husband, especially for only one year. There's no guarantee that I would get accepted to Meharry for dental school and if I did, there's no guarantee that I could even stay because of my husbands military obligation. It's a lot lol Hamptons program was designed by a program director from Meharry and they have a good working relationship.

Hey guys! I am a current MHS student and I just wanted to come on here and try to answer any questions you guys may have. I know last year during my admission process I stalked the thread looking for info lol so I'm just going to outline some of the basics of the program and answer some of the questions I've seen on here so far. Forewarning though, the program is dynamic and constantly changing, so I can't guarantee that this year's upcoming program will be exactly the same.

Alright so the program is a 1 year masters of health science program that prepares you to possibly matriculate into your respective medical or dental program for the following year. So example my program began fall of 2016, ends in spring of 2017 and I will be matriculating into the medical program fall of 2017 ( well fingers crossed lol ).

Okay so next, admissions. MHS is invite only. You cannot apply. Usually you are rejected acceptance into the med or dental school and then notified that you are being considered for mhs. I have no idea what criteria they use to determine who is invited. Some people received interviews with the med/dental school, were then rejected and invited to mhs. But others were flat out rejected, received no med/dent interview and were invited.


The program
There are requirements/expectations you must meet in order to be considered for matriculation. I'm not sure if the upcoming class will have similar requirements as our class did ( our class requirements differed from the previous year).

Matriculation requirements 2016
Medical requirements- maintain 3.5 gpa & achieve 498 mcat score during program

Dental- maintain 3.3 gpa & achieve a 17 dat score during program

Okay so theses are the basics. Let me know if you guys have any other questions

As far as gaining admission into the program. Do you have an idea of GPA/MCAT ranges of ppl getting into the Masters program? I have a 494 currently and I'm hoping to get into the Masters program.

Also if you meet those benchmarks is it gaurenteed admission or just an interview?

Okay so I don't know the exact stats of the whole class but I'd say the mcat scores ranged from 490ish and up and gpa id say Maybe 3.4 ish and up. That's just me guessing. And for matriculation if you meet the requirements set for your class, you do not have to interview for the medical/dental school and "will most likely" matriculate through lol I'll let you know on that part soon

Okay for the interview it's depends because there are multiple interviewers you could get and different ones tend to ask different questions, but for the most part it's safe to be prepared to hear questions/statements like-
Tell me about yourself
What are strengths/weaknesses?
How are you been involved in the community?
Why Meharry?
Why the Healthcare field?
They might ask you a detail about application and to expand on it
And just in case, be familiar with the history of Meharry, its mission, and what's currently trending in the healthcare industry.

Overall the interview is a time to really show who you are as an individual so just be confident, know nerves are normal & just be yourself

If there is no guarantee to get into their dental program or medical program, is it a good idea to do the program? also is it hard to maintain the 3.3 in their program?

Actually I'm sorry, I was just corrected about the dental matriculation requirements for 2016. It's actually maintain a 3.0 Gpa and score a 17 on the dat. However I'm not sure what the incoming 2017 requirements will be. If you've interviewed already you would probably have a better idea. And yes the program is not guaranteed, you do have to perform accordingly to be considered. I think the question of it is hard to maintain that gpa is relative and something you'll have to ask yourself. But I can tell you that it is graduate school so the level, load, & speed are much different than undergrad.

Yea, I think pre-dents find out before the med school students find out and its like only 20 dental students the other 50 is medicine from what I've heard.

I got accepted into the program but already have my MPH, is doing this worth it? I was confused when I got the email. What are the chances of getting in assuming you meet the above credentials? Is it basically a post-back? Do they offer this to everyone who doesn't get in basically?

So the degree you obtain is a masters of health science(MHS) And the program also helps prepare you for your respective medical/dental school, familiarizing you with the teachers and their teaching style as well as the speed & workload. Speaking on our year, our contract outlined a very likely chance of matriculation into med or dental school if the outlined requirements were met and that was indeed the case for our class. Lastly they do not offer it to everyone, the program is extremely selective and only very few are invited
