What impressed you negatively?

"The unorganization. I'm from Cali there were four other students there that attended Howard for undergrad. When the associate dean came in to interview me he explained that I would be missing the tour b/c he had a meeting. Why he did not pick a Howard undergrad who has expereinced the school for the last four years instead so I could at least see the school still confuses me??? Then during the interview the Dr. kept answering his phone, he excused himself to pick something up from his secretary, then would sit down and be like umm continue... it was so disrespectful. I almost thought it was a test. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Honestly everything, I am greatful for the opportunity to interview but if I knew it was going to be like that I would have just saved my hard earned money. " Report Response
