I have mine on Thursday, do you mind sharing some of the questions asked? and was the interview with the faculty committee one on one ?
There was an interview last month if I can recall and the on on Thursday is the third one I believe. Not too sure if there are anymore coming up the website seems so out of date. Fingers crossed though.. if anyone does have an interview tomorrow and wants to throw in the question for us feel free haha
Yeah so apart from the usual “why medicine” & “why morehouse” I found it telling that both my interviewers asked “people that like you, what would they say about you” as well as “people that don’t like you, what would they say about you.”
Thank you so much this is really helpful.
Oh wow ethics's question? can you share the topic at least ?

Thank you so much that was really helpful. Do you know if their program still does the linkage with Morehouse? I just got into the JUH MHS program and I am trying look at all aspects of my options.It was a really specific question about camaraderie so I doubt they'll give everyone that same question. But they will ask something ethical-related. My suggestion is to go review ethical type questions online. I actually did this before all my interviews using this website:
50 Common Medical School Interview Questions
This list will help you be prepared for ANYTHING.
It has other useful questions for interviews in general so I'd suggest being able to answer at least 3 questions from each sections. As for the ethical section, just have an answer for every type of question there.
Congrats on the acceptance! It doesn't necessarily have the linkage per say (& it never did) but they assured us during the interview that if you do well in the program you would essentially be admitted into the med school. So I guess it's more of an 'unofficial' linkage lol.
Thank you !! Would you be admitted the year after completing the program and still to go through the whole aamc process again?
Yeah the year after as long as you applied the january before you matriculate. I think you still have to go through the aamc process for the simple fact that you probably should still apply to other med schools just in case.
We have very similar stats. At the interview did they tell you when you’d hear back? Or what they are doing in the fall for classes?
Yeah they said we should plan to hear back by beginning to mid June I believe. I can't quite remember.
When did you submit your app/when were you marked complete if you don’t mind me asking?
Ok thank you so much!
I submitted my application since the beginning of March but I was marked complete like mid April because one of my recommenders hadn't sent in his letter yet.
Ohhh yea I definitely submitted after you so that may be why I havent heard back yet. I wonder how many people they are interviewing and how many they are accepting?
Im assuming most acceptances probably do go out early June! And I feel like interviews probably end in June as well.
Yeah I sent an email asking about an update as well this morning but no answer yet
Fingers crossed because it wouldn’t make sense to extend an application deadline and not have interviews to accommodate that. It might be time to start calling a little more frequently..
I’ve been sending emails to as many people as possible , for follow ups , but I’ve had no luck
I've also been emailing them. I hope that I'm not coming off annoying, but there hasn't been any response.
From my understanding, the last interview was last Thursday (05/21). They said they’re expecting to accept 26 students. Supposedly, final decision emails will be sent out in the next two weeks.
Oh so they are done interviewing? Do they send rejections all at the end or during the process?
I had my interview last Thursday and the program director told us that. She said that there wouldn’t be anymore interviews after 05/21. I believe rejections will be given out during the same time period.
That makes sense with the previous timelines!
Wow I cant believe they are done with interviews already. Seems like they only had like three or four interview dates with fifteen people at each.
I’m not sure how many interview sessions were held, but I know the last virtual interview (05/21) had about 25 students.
I think we should all stay hopeful , it’s hard to , but it’s the best option . We shouldn’t single ourselves out until we get an official word from them !
Your right because it seems like those were complete after late March havent heard anything. And like someone said it doesnt make sense to extend the deadline and then not extend interviews.
I agree. I would wait to hear back from the admissions office. I might be wrong!
Right ! What are your plan b options ? For me I chose to apply to masters programs to become a better applicant for medical school, since I was rejected for the 2020 cycle . I’m not sure what route to take next if the masters doesn’t work out ? Any advice ?
I actually got accepted for the Meharry MHS program but MSMS is my top choice.
Congratulations !
Congrats to you! Don’t lose hope! You are clearly more than qualified for these programs
I would say, if the masters thing doesn’t work out, focus on mcat prep and increase your mcat score to something very competitive, then try to apply again.
I hope that's wrong because that's terrible for people who applied closer to the deadline (me being those people) if the last interview was 6 days after the deadline? That's awful and there's no way they went through those applications and sent out interview invites for those they liked as well. I emailed the admissions assistant yesterday and they said I should hear about the status of my application shortly. So hopefully they host more or refund application fees since it seems mine might not have even been given an opportunity.
