sdn, read website, went over my amcas

What impressed you positively?

Everyone really seems HAPPY at Howard - the students were great to talk to and shared their experiences(both positive and negative)... all concluding that it's a great place to be.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, perhaps just rush hour traffic but that's anywhere...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

bring something to read (book, magazine whatever) because you'll have to wait to be interviewed. also, get there early and go straight to the admissions office to sign in (first come/first serve basis) even if your interview email gives you a room number: GO TO ADMISSIONS OFFICE FIRST!!! I didn't and ended up closer to the bottom of the list - late interview - even though I was there early.

What are your general comments?

I loved my day at Howard. the students are very honest and down to earth. having gone to a city school, the environment is much like home and I can see that there is a lot of support/non-competitive atmosphere. Everyone is there to succeed as a group not try to bring eachother down. Great interviewer -very conversational. dont stress about this interview: Just be yourself - the interviewer will notice that and likely recommend you for admission.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
