💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Is Howard your first choice? I blatantly refused to answer this question. The a** pressed on further and I still refused. He did not need that information. I doubt I'll get in but hey, I have been accepted to the #9 school in the US so I really don't give a ..
Tell me about your future plans. He cut in every 2 minutes into my answer.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Enthusiatically read about Howard, went in positively...I would never advise my enemy to go there now

What impressed you positively?

Nothing...the students and some admin tried but it seems they were trying too hard to cover up a bad reputation (which I was not aware off until now)

What impressed you negatively?

Everything.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That some of Howard's program just got accredited again. WHAT??? I am shocked...

What are your general comments?

Why don't we start from the interview letter? Very dirty, photcopied and disgusting. Well, that set the tone for the interview. Current students may try to salvage the school's reputation as much as they can but if I were the president, I would close this school down. I guess the political implication is too risky.hmmm...I would still close it down anyway. Everything was disorganized, food sucked, tour sucked, interviewer was like an hung over vampire and I just hated the entire process. I am black and I was very ashamed leaving this institution regarded as an HBCU. Wake up Howard! I regret applying to this school. What a waste of my time and money.
