How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, reviewed my AMCAS application, mock interviews with family

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed to really like their school. They openly shared their experiences and what they considered as downsides to attending the school. My interviewer had a very warm demeanor. This was my first interview and I had a wonderful experience. I did not think as highly of Howard before the visit as I do now. You should not be nervous about this interview. It is very laid back yet still professional. Have fun. Be yourself.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities could use some work. I don't like the idea of having to purchase a laptop through the school. The cost of living in D.C. is extremely expensive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More about transportation to and from BWI.

What are your general comments?

When I left at 4:30, there were still 6/10 applicants to be interviewed. There was not as much disorganization in the process as some of these posts suggest. The interviewers just want to know you better and it takes longer for some than for others.
