I wouldn't say to take it with a grain of salt. Be fully informed. People may wonder why I'm bothering at all. I took it with a grain of salt too. Now that I'm here, I should have taken it more seriously. If you have other options, weigh them all carefully. If you don't, then do what you have to do. Their graduating 2024 class only had 88 students, and only 85 matched. They started with 120. I'm proud of the 2024 class. They worked hard and got there in spite of Meharry's issues.
Their 2022 class only had 76% who graduated in 4 years, so prepare for a 5 year program. They don't even keep those stats up to date on the website. The other thing I should have looked at was their Step Pass Rate. I don't know the current rate because I can't find it. They don't say what year, but only 87% passed Step 1 the first try, and only 82% passed Step 2 on the first try. I'm giving you all facts I didn't think of to look into. I saw an HBCU that had been around for well over a century and chalked all the talk up to haters. Be informed, and then make the best decision you can from the options you have.
