SDN, Howard website, mock interview, had friend ask me some questions

What impressed you positively?

The students and the faculty. Both of them are really happy to be there. Students, in particular, reinforced how much they love the school by talking to us throughout the day and answering alot of questions about the school. The staff was very personable and greeted everyone as if they already knew us.

What impressed you negatively?

Some parts of the school are older and need to be renovated. Also, I had to wait 2 hours in a conference room to be interviewed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That we were going to fill out an additional supplementary form.

What are your general comments?

I got to Howard around 8am and I was greated by the admissions coordinator. The day started with us filling out another supplementary form, attending a first year Immunology class, and the typical medical tour. After we had lunch with three medical school students, we waited for our individual interviews in a conference room.
