What are your general comments?
Mine went really smoothly, except for the lack of a person to welcome students in the morning. Make sure you get there a bit early to sign in and fill out the green form. It helps a lot.

SDN, read my AMCAS and secondary
What was the most difficult question?
If a big name school gave you a lot of money, you wouldn't come to Howard. You agree?
What impressed you positively?
The friendliness of the director of admissions- she took the time to answer any questions I had on an individual basis. Also, the students utilize group studying a lot to pass classes
What impressed you negatively?
The interviewer was completely inappropriate and really was the only bad part of the visit. He seemed to think that I wouldn't go to Howard and was just there to have a safety school. However, I talked to other interviewees who did not have this experience and the other interviewers that I talked to in the hallway were a lot friendlier
