How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Howard's mission, other students

What impressed you positively?

not much

What impressed you negatively?

How rude and unfriendly some of the students were as soon as I walked through the door. The day was very unorganized (lunch was late, interviewers weren't predecided, a lot of free time with nothing to do).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low their Step 1 pass rates were and how many drop out in a year.

What are your general comments?

The name of Howard is prestigous and I'm sure the teachers are great but the interview day was not a good way to display your credentials since it was disorganized.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
