What impressed you positively?

My interviewer really impressed me. Ms. Walk is great. I felt like they really cared about getting to know me. I also was amazed when I walked into the hospital and saw a cafeteria full of African American physicians. It is normally difficult for me to find just one. They give applicants opportunities that other medical school would not give.

What impressed you negatively?

school is kind of old

What are your general comments?

Initially I was not sure about attending Howard but after interviewing there and being in that environment there is no way I could go anywhere else. Even though I have not been accepted yet it is difficult for me to continue to interview at other schools because that is where I want to be....
