Dear BlackDr2b:
Good luck with your application process this year! I'm pretty excited to move to DC and start HUCM in July. Hopefully, we'll see you at the interview. Have you summitted your primary yet?
Anyone get their fin aid package yet?
Less than 5 weeks until orientation.
Just wanted to check in and see how everybody is doing with the apps? I am studying for finals this tuesday and my postbacc will be finished!!! Can't wait.
How are the PARPsters doing?
I just got accepted in May so I could not submit the forms until last week. However, I have been in touch with the financial aid office. They are very nice and they told me that within the next several weeks, I should be getting my financial aid package.

Hello everyone!!!!!!!
I'm first generation going to college. My parents are east african and muslim. I major in bioinformatics/Pre-med and minor in chemistry. I"m a junior now. I was doing well at first and was part of the honors college....I got a bit sick n classes were getting hard so now I have a 3.0. I volunteered 400 hours and is now doing research with a doctor in telemedicine. I was wondering what are my chances to get into medical school especially into Howard. What MCAT scores will I need to make up for my low gpa. I was part of the national collegiate scholar program, had a leadership scholarship out of high school, president of african clubs, travelled across seas to help the need, etc.
I would really appreciate it my brothers and sisters on how i should improve my application and if i still have a good chance?
I posted the following in the Family Medicine > Underrepresented Forum, but it doesn't look like there's anybody active there, so I figure I give it a try here. Thanks!
" Volunteering to help the underserved
I'm interested in underserved medicine and am looking for suggestions on where I can volunteer to gain experience in this.
I'm a working professional in the Washington DC area and wouldn't mind dedicating some time after work to help out those in need.
I'm specifically targeting activities that medical schools focusing on underserved medicine (i.e. Howard University Medical School) would find appealing.
I've volunteered at a hospital before in the ambulatory surgery department and was a member of AmeriCorp caring for minority kids from single parent homes in an after school youth club.
But all this was years ago, so I'm trying to get back in."
Any suggestions?
I volunteer at a court ordered juvenile program in miami see if they have one in dc. also habitat for humanity is national try that as wellI posted the following in the Family Medicine > Underrepresented Forum, but it doesn't look like there's anybody active there, so I figure I give it a try here.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions guys.
So anyone here considering Howard? I'm actually Asian American, which is probably not underrepresented, but I'm trying my luck. I'm dedicated to the underserved.
