Meharry Masters of Health Science Program 2021

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I just heard that it start on Aug 2nd but I haven’t heard about it being virtual myself besides it being mentioned in here, but I know at one point they were considering reopening the campus
Ik all the dental students are back on campus and I’m almost positive the med school is following suit. I don’t see why the program would be virtual if that’s the case. If it’s not virtual though I kinda need to know so I can prepare to move to a different state. 😂

Yeah, they really need to let us know because trying to move in less than 30 days is gonna suck😩I promise y’all they didn’t do this when I did MSPH I had way over two months to prepare

Just called the office of graduate studies and they stated that they’re still working on finalizing applicants in the next couple of weeks & that they’re pushing for a virtual program.

When you say "pushing", does this mean it will be virtual or they hope it will be? That's a weird answer lol.

That’s the exact response she gave so I took it as in virtual is their ideal plan unless something changes.

I guess for everyone’s sake for the ones who are not in Tennessee I hope it is virtual with how we only have a month until the start so if they making us wait I just hope that they don’t force everyone to move in a big rush to be on campus if it’s not virtual so hopefully it’s virtual just in that perspective

Has anyone thought about how this will effect us if this program is virtual and getting into medical school in the future? I know medical schools are lenient now because of COVID but I'm wondering how it will be next year when I apply for medical school.

I was just thinking about that. I graduated before the virtual class wave so I never experienced it myself and it isn’t currently reflecting on my dental app.

Definitely, I graduated December of 2019, right before Covid and virtual schooling so how it’ll affect schools is a big question. But I would presume they would be understanding given the circumstances of Covid

Mannn thanks for the update but omg I’ve never seen nothing like this lol. I promise I’m not the type to complain but this really is crazy. There’s soo many gaps. It needs to be virtual cause that wouldn’t be fair for those who live in other states like me.

There’s no actual web page for MHS discussing requirements for the program, timeline, point of contacts, etc that would have provided some sense of ease. I’ve been hearing “coming weeks” soo long. It’s scary cause I don’t have a back up....I’m hoping that application pile for MHS is small this year cause don’t have me wait this long and y’all got hella applications... that’s too much competition this late in the game. And the portal doesn’t even provide you with any updates...

That’s a valid point…but through it all guys let’s just remain positive until God says otherwise…because whether the program is virtual or in person if becoming physicians is what God has for us it’s gonna work out…regardless…I know it’s draining but at the end of the day if it’s meant to be it’s going to be. And I think if the program turns out to be virtual they shouldn’t be lenient us they should hold us to the same stipulations that previous classes held under especially being that the program is designed to prepare us for professional school.

I feel you 1000% only thing we can do now is remain optimistic & claim that what’s meant to be is already done. If I get anymore updates big or small I’ll keep y’all updated. I plan to call again next Tuesday if nothing has changed.

Here is a link regarding this application cycle and what schools will and will not accept. I'm just nervous because I'm not applying to medical school until next cycle so I don't know how they will look at my application. Now I'm nervous and anxious about hearing back from Meharry!
If you are planning on attending Meharry for Med school I wouldn’t worry about it. Plus in general I would not worry about it because we are still in a pandemic. Programs like Meharry may want to limit the amount of programs they offer on campus to limit possible exposure/spread of the virus. Just my assumption but schools know things are tough these days.

That's a good point but its also a gamble. I guess the best advice I could give all of us is to reach out to schools now if you plan on applying next year to see if they have a policy in place. I would hate to have spent all of this money and have a hard time getting into my dream schools because I took a virtual masters program. I'm sure I wouldn't have a hard time getting into Meharry but I also don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.

Absolutely! I feel you…I plan on at least applying anywhere from 10-15 schools at the most….and I’m also looking into DO schools

Honestly, I would just ask them if it’s possible that you can give them an update within the next week or two not only are you still telling that you’re interested but you’re also putting the ball bk in their court because if say that you’re attending now they probably gonna receive it as being the final answer….but that’s just a suggestion

I’m in the SAME EXACT situation, and I technically have until tomorrow to let my other program know something 😒

I did the same thing for another Master's Program, just holding off on securing financial aid. I know someone who attended Meharry's Dental School over 10 years ago and they were slow with letting them know then as well. We see some old habits never die 😭😭
