How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
5 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Overall Howard provided an amazing experience. The negative responses written on Howard were vastly overrated. Howard students kept it real and I appreciated their hospitality. Dean Cannon was very down to earth. I love HU. And I wish all that will have an interview in the future the best.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why Howard?
Why should I pick you over any other candidate?
What was the most interesting question?
What did you focus on in Biochemistry? This question was before the actual interview began. She was a Biochemistry professor. And she was very nice (Dr. Abraims)
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read this website and compiled the questions that this school mainly asked. I reviewed my transcript and my AMCAS application.
What impressed you positively?
I was impressed by the welcoming staff and faculty. Also, the supportive student environment was phenomenal. I could tell that the students at HUMC will be leaders in their communities and their respective medical fields.
What impressed you negatively?
I wish the form we had to fill out was part of the secondary application. I lack quality handwritting skills and their was very little space for me to write my responses.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had known that the activities during the day would have impacted my responses in my interview. I had an a.m. interview( before the tour). I would have had stronger concrete responses as to why I wish to attend Howard had been interviewed in the afternoon.
