Positively 🙂

What are your general comments?

I felt the interview was the opposite of stressful. The interviewer was very friendly, non-confrontational and very understanding of certain weaknesses in my application. The interviewer did not ask tough questions and all they asked were straight forward questions regarding my application.

Why Howard?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read this website and about the school and talked to some students from the school

What was the most difficult question?

What are your "current" weaknesses?

What impressed you positively?

The close knitted family that the students form. They seem to really establish a family feeling.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that the failing of courses kept getting brought up by students and faculty. It makes you wonder about the curriculum and how maybe it might be flawed and not the students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The amount of time you need to wait to get interviewed. They could definitely do better in that aspect. Waiting a couple of hours in the afternoon is not very appealing.
