Why dentistry at Howard?

What was the most interesting question?

None of the questions really stuck out from the rest. They were pretty standard.

What was the most difficult question?

How do you handle stress. The faculty member that interviewed me must not have liked my first response because she asked me the same question a second time in a different format a few minutes after the first time.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Checked out the school's website, reviewed the information that they gave me.

What impressed you positively?

The honesty and attitude of the staff and students. Everyone seems genuinely interested in your successful completion of dental school. And of course tuition.

What impressed you negatively?

The standard of the facilities are bit less than I expected and the fact that there doesn't seem to be a solid system of helping students to find patients to complete their many clinical requirements. But the school makes up for it with its, "its not easy, but its not impossible" can-do attitude.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I had known that parking is terrible and the cost of rent is ridiculous. It seemed as if the only way to find affordable housing was by living farther away from the campus. But the farther away you live,the more that you seem to rely on the need for a car. And the more you rely on your own car, the greater the parking situation will negatively affect you.

What are your general comments?

Pretty laid back experience and having a student as one of the interviewers made responding to questions less intimidating. I enjoyed my time tremendously.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
