How did you prepare for the interview?

read about Howard, read my AMCAS & secondary

What impressed you positively?

tight knit community at Howard, campus, cultural life, student services, honesty of students and staff. I was really impressed with the school, their mission & how much students look out for each other.

What impressed you negatively?

there was a lot of construction -- but that should be done soon & looks like it will update a lot of Howard's clinical facilities; the school looks kind of shabby on the inside, the class seemed really boring & didn't have cutting edge technology

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that there would be a supplemental to fill out while we waited; that my interview would be so in-depth. my interview happened to go really long.

What are your general comments?

really impressed by Howard

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

move towards internet applications
