"I came an hour before my interview as prompted to write the essay. The essay was pretty easy for me because I work in a pharmacy, so I knew how to approach the question. I waited for my interview in the student lounge. The students that I got to speak to were very friendly. And all the staff members that I came into contact with were all very friendly too. The interview was probably only about 5 minutes. They asked the questions and then allowed me to leave. Overall, the whole experience was quick and painless. I didn't think that the panel was intimidating at all. They were actually really nice. Good luck to everyone!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"It is a quite school, maybe I was there pretty early that day. As a "historical black college", I saw quite a few Asians and WHITE students. Though the waiting is painful, the interview questions are straight forward." More from this Member | Report Response

"The writing section is 20 minutes so be prepared. The interview was brutal but I have faith.They even interogated me on my references... Just do your best and don't let them try to intimidate you because they will. Keep hope alive!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a good experience overall. The best part was the students, everyone was so nice and social. That eased the nerves. Know your file inside and out. Half of the time they asked about my extracurricular activities. One made me feel inferior because I gave her an answer she supposedly was not looking for. But I dont care. The dean complimented my clothes. Just kidding. Be ready, dont take anything personal if they interrupt you. They love to intimidate by not paying attention to you while they flip thru your files. Its all a mind game, dont let it get to you." More from this Member | Report Response

"it was a nice experience. had to write an essay in 20 minutes. " More from this Member | Report Response

"There is a short writing portion. They give you 20 min to write an essay. Its not too bad. Waiting process can be a little nerve wrecking. When you walk in they do not look at you and just sit there until they introduce themselves one by one. They each take turns asking you things. Once they are done you just leave. I did not feel as though it went well but I also feel it didnt go too bad. I am neutral on what to expect." More from this Member | Report Response

"The whole waiting process was nerve wracking because you don't know what to expect once you get in the room. It's worse when you see the person before you come out looking sad or on the verge of crying. Don't let them intimidate you, because they will. Show confidence and an energetic positive attitude, no matter what questions they throw at you." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a 8 people interviewing me. Only 2 seemed to be interested but the other 6 was acting like I was wasting their time. It was only 15 minutes long, but felt like an hour. Not a relaxing environment, made me feel like I did not deserve to be there. " More from this Member | Report Response
