They sent a second email out for the addressDoes anyone know if we mail our $1,000 deposit to the same address we sent the first money order? The email didn't say where to mail it so, I'm guessing it's the same address??

I talked to financial aid the other day and they said "Incoming students will receive notice of Financial Aid (i.e., information about scholarships, loans, etc.) once their enrollment fee is received. To research current information about financial aid options, please refer to the website for HUCD’s Financial Aid office: http://hucdfinancialaid.webs.com/financing-options" I feel like your FAFSA might also need to be submitted before they can give you a definite number for financial aid, but I'm not sure about that!Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has heard anything from the financial aid department? In the acceptance e-mail it said to contact them via e-mail and I did on Dec. 1st but I have not heard anything back yet. Is there just a lull in the process or do they mail out financial aid packages?

I was told that you would only be able to apply for fafsa in January so i dont think you can get it now?Thank you very much for the information! I figured I would not receive any financial information pertaining to need based aid until after a FAFSA was submitted. But I had hoped to hear about scholarships or anything merit based now to better help me decide on a school.

They do offer scholarships! Im not sure how much, i know its based on stats but everyone gets somethingYeah, the 2016 FAFSA does not open up until January which is why I did not expect to get anything about need based aid. However I was hoping to hear about merit based aid such as scholarships which would not need the FAFSA. But I guess the time of scholarship offers given to accepted students varies from school to school? Oh well, I really like Howard anyway so I'll put a deposit with them and hope for some money! They are one of the more affordable private schools so scholarship or not, it is a pretty good place.

Phew... waiting on post December interview. Do you guys know generally from history when they invite post December?
Thanks much appreciated! Lets hope for the best! I know what I will be wishing for Christmas and new years...That is awesome that everyone gets something, no matter how small, any financial help is pretty great. So I guess I will not know how much until after the deposit and/or after FAFSA for 2016-2017 school year is complete.
Looking at last year's thread, it looks like post-dec interviews start going out in January. Maybe they want to wait until the Dec. 30th deposit deadline so they have an idea of how many seats they need to fill? But I wish you the best of luck!
I'm hoping for a post-december interview as well! I've been trying to get in contact with them to check on the status of my application but I've had no luck. I never got a confirmation email for my supplemental fee but my application status did change to under review. Did this happen to anyone else? It's been over three weeks since I've been trying to get in contact with them :/
Their website just says "Biochemistry 3 Semester hours". My school doesn't technically have a Biochem 1 and 2 like general chemistry and organic chemistry, but I think the basic biochemistry at your school would suffice. I was accepted on December 1st and took our 2000 level biochem sophomore year and am taking the 3000 level right now, so I think as long as you have 3 credits of biochem, your requirement is fulfilled.Does Howard want Bio Chem 1 and Bio Chem 2 or just Bio Chem 1 ???? -Anyone please

Thank you so much! I plan to apply next cycle and I am just making sure everything is in line. Do you mind sharing extra curricula's that they might be looking for? Also, is doing summer programs and conducting research a big deal?Their website just says "Biochemistry 3 Semester hours".

There was no mention of me needing to take it before matriculation in the acceptance letter either. So I guess they do not require them both.
I think all dental schools like to see a lot of volunteer hours. I volunteered at MOM projects and RAM clinics, as well as shadowed 2 general dentists. Make sure your shadowing hours are at least at 100 or above. Most schools like to see at least 100 hours of shadowing a general dentist. Any extracurricular activity that makes you diverse will help your chances of getting in at all dental schools. Research and summer programs aren't necessary, but will improve your application. I didn't do research, but I know a lot of people at my school get paid to do research and it helps when applying to schools to have research experience. When you apply, pay attention to how much emphasis is put on research at all of the schools you apply to. If your top choice is a research-heavy school, it would be a good idea to have some research experience.Thank you so much! I plan to apply next cycle and I am just making sure everything is in line.

Are you a GA resident? If not, I would suggest not wasting your money applying there.Thank you guys so much and congratulations on your next journey in life. I plan to apply to Georgia Regents, Meharry and Howard as my top three choices next cycle.
I sent mine as well but haven't gotten a confirmation email yet either. But no worries! I'm sure they will get to it soonHas anyone who sent in their deposit heard back from Howard that they have received it yet? It's been a week and half and I still haven't heard.
Did you send yours by mail? I plan on doing that with the tracking thing so i can tell when it was received.Has anyone who sent in their deposit heard back from Howard that they have received it yet? It's been a week and half and I still haven't heard.
My status on AADSAS says "Invited for Interview" but I have not received an interview invite through email yet. I hope this is good news waiting! Lol.
That's a good idea! I should've sent mine with a tracker too.Did you send yours by mail? I plan on doing that with the tracking thing so i can tell when it was received.
Yes I am a Georgia resident. Meharry and Howard is where my heart is set though, so hopefully when I apply next cycle everything works out.Are you a GA resident? If not, I would suggest not wasting your money applying there.
when did you send in your app?stats?
It's been two weeks for me and still haven't gotten a confirmation. I've called twice and emailed and no one has answered. Let me know if you hear from them!I got a notification from fedex that the location was closed or that nobody was there to pick up the check, i might call howard to double check this
Yea i will. I called them but they didn't answer me as well. I hope they dont send my envelope back to me if no one picks it up!It's been two weeks for me and still haven't gotten a confirmation. I've called twice and emailed and no one has answered. Let me know if you hear from them!

"Failure to submit your deposit by the aforementioned date may result in the loss of your position in the class of 2020." (Dec. 30th)
I'm afraid we can lose our spots...
I had to cancel my fedex certified delivery. They tried twice but, office was closed. So i am going to resend via us post so they can put it in the mailbox. I think as long as you have proof of the transaction you will be fine.I think as long as it was mailed out on or before December 30th, everything should be alright. I cannot see them taking away seats because of failure to check their own mail.
I'm very worried about that as well! Really upset at how they don't answer phones or emails. I sent mine just about 3 weeks ago and cannot get anyone to contact me on whether they have received anything. I'm just hoping it doesn't get lost or something crazy and lose my seat over itI get no response from them as well, and mine was delivered last week.
