How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread all application materials pertaining to this school, looked at some SDN interview feedback pages.

What impressed you positively?

The level of collaboration between students. The people were very honest, and real about the challenges of medical school, and seemed to be overall content with their experience.

What impressed you negatively?

There is a lot of construction going on right now, so I couldn't really get a feel of the physical environment. It's not their fault, but heels + construction area = hesitation. It also seems like anatomy lab is very crowded depending on how many students are admitted in the final class list.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Students at Howard do not use microscopes because the school does not have them.

What are your general comments?

I wish I could see the school after the renovations!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I think it would be a good idea to invest in an online application, and a more interactive website t
