Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

DC has a really good transportation system. You can get to Howard by Metro or light rail. I never had to take a cab the whole time I was there, not for going to the school or sightseeing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The school is very old and you can see the smaller classrooms are really rundown. They're on probationary status right now, so they're working on renovating the labs. The surrounding neighborhood looks a little sketchy. Once you leave the premises, you'll know it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I had to know how to write numbers in roman numerals for the math quiz.

What are your general comments?

Fifteen minutes before the interview, I checked in at the admissions office, the earlier group was taken to a holding room where ID was checked and we sat for a long time. We were again split into 2 groups, taken to a different room and wrote the essay. There were 6 essays topics to choose from. We were taken on a tour of the school, then taken to a small classroom to take the basic math quiz. Each person was set up with 2 interviewers in classrooms. The interviews ran late and my info sheet got buried at the bottom of the pile and the interviewers took a minute to figure out who I was. Overall, it wasn't all that stressful, but the interview schedule wasn't very organized.
