How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, going over practice questions with friends, reviewing AMCAS application, and reading Howard's website

What impressed you positively?

Well, after reading notes from this website I didn't know what to expect. I was skeptical. However, the students and the interviewer changed my opinion.

What impressed you negatively?

Like the other interviewee said, you do get a sense of disorganization. Location.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Well, the day was fine. Students came and spoke with us about what they like about Howard and administrators came in to chat with us. I have been to other interviews, but I kind of expected to wait a little while at Howard's (from what I have heard). I wasn't stressed, so that made the wait more bearable. Also, you definitely get that "family" feeling. But I wonder if that can get to be a little too much at times.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
