I didn't and ended up closer to the bottom of the list - late interview - even though I was there early." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I loved my day at Howard. the students are very honest and down to earth. having gone to a city school, the environment is much like home and I can see that there is a lot of support/non-competitive atmosphere. Everyone is there to succeed as a group not try to bring eachother down. Great interviewer -very conversational. dont stress about this interview: Just be yourself - the interviewer will notice that and likely recommend you for admission." Report Response
