How did you prepare for the interview?

School's website, SDN, talked with some people that I know at HUCM

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students-everyone was warm and welcoming; they went out of their way to spend time answering our questions and discussing the school. Also the library, the hospital and it being a "wireless" community-laptop computers are included in the tuition, residency match list.

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are a bit old, board passing rates,parking situation

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Your letter says get there by 10am, but you will be called for you interview based upon who signs in first. So if you're one of the first ones to get there, you'll be out sooner.

What are your general comments?

I went into this interview with a really bad impression of Howard-unfortunately, there are a lot of negative stereotypes out there about this school. For me, though, this completely changed once I stepped foot on campus. The history which this college of medicine holds is amazing. The students were extremely friendly; they spent time answering questions and filling any down time we had by talking with us. The day flowed very smoothly and I had a really good interview experience. Howard has a long standing committment of providing care to underserved communities and if this philosophy matches yours, I can think of no better place to learn and practice medicine.
