I was wondering if you could give me your last name letter. My friend heard back today and didn't get in so I was wondering if they was doing it alphbetically or just random. I called and they said by tomorrow the rest should know. I'm just so nervous.:scared:

Congratulations to those all who have been accepted!
I received an email saying I was put on an alternate list. :scared:
I am just wondering what percentages of the class are already full as of now and how many more interview sessions are left till March.
Hope I can get a spot as soon as possible before the February ends...
It's going to be a long winter for me. :(

I was accepted to Howard on December 1st, and my stats were:
20 AA on my DAT, 19 PAT (I took it twice, got an 18 the first time)
3.37 cGPA and my sGPA was a 2.8.... pretty bad but I was faced with a few family circumstances that caused my GPA to drop. I had over 500+ hours of community service as well.
Let me know if you guys want to know anything else!

Dynamo
01-31-2012, 04:15 PM
Anybody else that interviewed on Jan 21st going crazy waiting?

Does anyone know when the adcom is meeting?
Are there any more interview groups coming up?

...just a few of the 1000s of questions that bounce around in my mind all day while waiting to hear from howard :scared:


Yup! Me!

I know they said 3 wks but I thought maybe we'd hear sooner... It's exciting and depressing at the same time! Looks like there's another interview batch coming up so maybe well hear from them this week...? Please post on here if someone calls! I'm wondering if I should...

so I'm not alone whew...I'll post if I hear anything. I didn't think I'd be one of those obsessive ppl but I def have the aadsas page bookmarked on my phone and I'm checking email all day even tho it's push notifications.
Lol, yea I'm def obsessed. Im literally staring at my phone all the time... I really liked the faculty as well. And the student interviewer was cool . It was so relaxed and light hearted atmosphere

02-01-2012, 06:03 PM
I loved the school... especially the mentality of the faculty. The dean came in and gave a speech to the group that some might not have liked, but I respect. Made me look forward to going there... IF they ever accept me lol.
lol that speech was brutal.

nice congrats!
so what was the speech about?
also, i heard there an essay topic- whats that about? is it scored?

nice congrats!

Thanks. It was the usual respect authority and no hand outs type of speech. My Grandpa gives them all the time. It also seems like as freshman we will have a class with the Dean where he will be shoving ethics into our heads. Don't worry about the essay it was really straight forward and didn't take too much effort. I think I finished it in 15 minutes.

Hi all
first off CONGRATS! We made it :love:

Now on to more urgent issues:

I am looking for a room mate who wants to cohabit for the following year and can move in starting June 2012. I am actually looking to move in somewhere In May, because the lease at my current place expires soon, however provided I find a room mate, I am willing to finding a nice apartment for us, and cover May and June (if necessary) rent until you move in. School starts in July, so I am assuming you will be moving in by July at the latest.

Right now I am looking at places not too far from metro, affordable and safe.

I look forward to meeting you all :D

PM me if you want to discuss more details

Hey guys so make sure you ask to join the FB group for our class. Here is the link:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/HUCDclassof2016

There are some current D1 and maybe a few D2 students that may be able to answer your questions (international students as well).

As far as housing, if you do not live within DC a lot of people have been looking into Hyattsville (UTC towers for example), Silver Spring, Tacoma Park MD etc.
I know my roommates and I are in the process of looking for row homes or town homes to rent out thru craigslist but others have been using apartments.com and I even looked into off campus housing through other Universities in DC (GWU / Georgetown / AU).

Hope that helps some people! We are getting closer! Cant wait to meet everyone :)
