What are your general comments?
I really enjoyed my day at Howard. They were very much organized and polite. Judith Walk is absolutely the best at making interviewees feel comfortable. They gave us each a stipenf for lunch which was really nice. Overall, i think Howard gets alot of thrashing that it does not deserve. I really think that people need to go there for themselves and not rely on what the haters say.
