What are your general comments?
We signed in; filled out the packet; sat in on a first year class; had a presentation from the head of admissions; got a tour from a second year student; ate luch with the same student; and then waited to be interviewed. While we waited at least 8 people came into the room to talk very candidly about their Howard experience. The students were very honest. The first year students were tired, the second year student was a riot, the third and forth years were very well dressed (we only received visits from male students yum yum), and had a lot of advice on making the right decision about where to attend medical school.

First year students work pretty f-ing hard.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Well we had to fill out this packet which was to be review by the interviewer. It asks everything from SAT to why medicine and why Howard. It took a long time.
