⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The whole process was pretty laid back. I enjoyed meeting the faculty and the students. Both were very enthusiastic and welcoming. I can honestly say I'm more psyched about Howard after the interview than I was before. My only suggestion to others is to make sure that you want to work in underserved communities, because that mission is paramount to Howard.
