How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read this website and compiled the questions that this school mainly asked. I reviewed my transcript and my AMCAS application.

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by the welcoming staff and faculty. Also, the supportive student environment was phenomenal. I could tell that the students at HUMC will be leaders in their communities and their respective medical fields.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish the form we had to fill out was part of the secondary application. I lack quality handwritting skills and their was very little space for me to write my responses.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that the activities during the day would have impacted my responses in my interview. I had an a.m. interview( before the tour). I would have had stronger concrete responses as to why I wish to attend Howard had been interviewed in the afternoon.

What are your general comments?

Overall Howard provided an amazing experience. The negative responses written on Howard were vastly overrated. Howard students kept it real and I appreciated their hospitality. Dean Cannon was very down to earth. I love HU. And I wish all that will have an interview in the future the best.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
