How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did not prepare for this interview. I had been on some before, so I felt I knew what I had to say and what questions to ask.

What impressed you positively?

''The Family'' atmosphere. The students and faculty are big on that. It's nice because its obvious not an admissions trick, its real. The great students, not subpar by any means. These people specifically choose to go to Howard over other schools because of the atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are kind of old.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What a great place Howard is. It has definitely moved up on my list. I wish the facilities were newer; that would bring it to the top of the list.

What are your general comments?

Totally changed my mind based on stupid thiings I've heard on SDN and from friends. It seems like a great place, and I would be honored if I got in. AND...cheaper than most private schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
