What impressed you positively?

As everyone has said, I was most impressed with the students and how much they liked Howard. Also, almost all students mentioned how much they supported each other. The student body is close network. I met so many students during the day and told each of them who I met earlier. They all knew exactly who I was talking about.

What impressed you negatively?

My interview was intense and serious but that's not what negatively impressed me. I was caught off guard by the sarcasm and tone of the faculty member who interviewed me. I could not tell if he was joking because he was so serious. His questions were like comments. I was not sure whether or not to respond sometimes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Started on time, maybe early, filling out the secondary. Presentation about the history of school and mission. Financial Aid presentation. Curriculum presentation. Lunch. Tour. Interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
