SUPERMOM, i don't know when your interview is, but GOOD LUCK!
REBECCABLACK, isweartogod i heard that song exactly ONCE, and i don't need to hear it anymore. worst song in the history of songs.
but congrats on the interview! hope you get some good news. 👍
Interviewed March 8th.. still waiting. I know they were interviewing until this past tuesday so it maybe another 2 weeks or so before anyone hears. Thoughts?
Wait, was this past Tuesday the last days for interviews?!! 😱
what are the stats for here...
Wait, was this past Tuesday the last days for interviews?!! 😱
My mistake, I was not clear. I meant that I know for sure they interviewed this past tuesday. Wether they are continuing to interview well into april or not IDK.
I got the email below even though i interviewed March 8th. Should i be worried that my file has been lost/ mis-categorized?

Hi,
I would call. Also, don't worry about it because I also got the same email, and I know for sure that they didn't lose my file! Good luck to you!
It's definitely not too late to get interviewed, but it might be really hard to get one this late in the cycle. But like everyone on here says, don't give up hope! Good luck!!![]()
Hey, MissionEmed23. Welcome. To be honest, I feel like you probably turned in your secondary pretty late. Mid-December, all applicants received an e-mail from admissions essentially stating that half the class was already full. After that, a good number of us have interviewed (and some have been accepted) and the class is filling up pretty quick. Saying that, I would also add that nothing is impossible as long as they are still reviewing files and there is still space to be filled. Don't give up, but be realistic. You can call admissions and talk to them directly for a more accurate answer. I think their number and times they accept calls are in the previous page of this forum. Best of luck to you and I hope this was informative.
Beeweew, thanks for the reply. I've been following the thread quite extensively and saw where you posted that you got accepted. I'm truly amazed at how everyone here is so supportive! I see you guys are the praying kind, pray for me! 😀 May God do His will in my life.
AND CONGRATS!!!!! THUMBS UP!
Good luck with your interview SuperMom, I know you'll do great! I'm still crossing my fingers 🙂xf:) and praying everyday to hear something positive from Howard. Its just so hard knowing the decision is completely out of your hands. I just have to keep reminding myself to keep my head up and what will be will be; if not this year, then the next, or the next or the next 🙂
Good Luck to everyone that has interviewed, and also to everyone in my position still awaiting that good news!
PS. Beeweew, I had a dream about getting an interview at Howard last night, hopefully that means good things for me like it did for you!🙂
Thanks, MissionEmed! I hope you hear some positive news very soon! It's amazing how supportive this class is. I'm sure everyone will be rallying for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers 🙂🙂![]()
I've been watching this post for awhile. Glad to see the support network available to students at HUCM.
REBECCABLACK, I'm in the same situation as you. I received that email even though I interviewed last month. I've been waiting for a decision and have not heard anything since interviewing. I'm getting quite nervous with all the waiting. Just keeping myfingers crossed
waiting for a positive response soon...

Good luck to you and RebeccaBlack!!!! 😀... Last cycle, Beeweew and I were the only two on here that were waiting and we both made it to the other side... I remember being really anxious to hear back because even though I was waiting to hear back about other interviews, HUCM was where my heart was... Im sure you poured your heart out in your interview and let them know you wanna be there. So, at this moment, all you can do is let go and let God deal with it... Also, it doesn't hurt to send Ms walk an email stating how much you really want to be there😉... If you havent recieved an email stating that "a decision was made on your behalf" then she may be able to fwd that email over to the committee. you never know but, that could be the deciding factor between "rejection vs wait list" or "wait list vs acceptance"... At this point, every little bit helps.
I hope you join us in July 😀![]()

Is Howard your top choice? Any fallback?
Thanks Kaji!👍 I'm really hopeful for some positive news. I've called a few times and haven't received a response. So a passionate email describing my interest in learning at Howard and my recent undertakings will be next step! Hopefully, Rebecca Black and I will be joining you guys as members of the 2015 class soon.![]()
Yeah, definitely😀. I really loved everything about the school and am looking forward to working with their faculty, especially Dr. Lafalle. I don't think I would go anywhere else. How about u?

I have an acceptance at Morehouse and i THINK i prefer it to howard but i am still in the process of decision making. I'm also in the High priority wait list at my first choice so there is a pretty good chance I may get an acceptance there too.
Thanks, MissionEmed! I hope you hear some positive news very soon! It's amazing how supportive this class is. I'm sure everyone will be rallying for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers 🙂🙂![]()
Kaji215 ur story is very inspirational 🙂

To all of those still waiting,
My prayers are with you... I know that we all cannot make it in during this cycle but, I hope that some of you have been excepted to other schools. therefore, you will not have to sit out another year or two. If you have not been accepted anywhere during this cycle, please don't lose faith!!! If a physician is what you really desire to become than don't give up!!! Find out why you were not selected, try to make those adjustments over the next year, and reapply....
I know this is not the ideal situation but, I was also on the other side before. In 08', I was applying for medical school and didn't do well on the MCAT so I had to withdraw my application and prepare for a retake. In the mean time, I went to graduate school To enhance on my science background while preparing for the MCAT. Two years later, Im graduating this May with my Masters of Science, increased my MCAT score by 7 points, and had the privileged of receiving multiple acceptances to medical schools. The only thing that kept me focus was my determination to be a physician and helping ppl.
So good luck and God bless to all the bloggers, lurkers, and everyone in between that are still waiting (in some facet).😀
I just joined SDN and then found this wonderful thread, I read the thread from beginning to end and I must say woahh!! you guys are good, the amount of encouragement and well wishes for everyone. I interviewed last month and I am still waiting for a positive answer; but the wait is so painful and long but I have learnt patience from all that has gone before.
Beeweew your story touched me the most right from the dream to actuality..
Kaji215 you have been ever supportive..
All I know the admission cycle is winding down but please lift us up in prayer ,all that has been interviewed and waiting for a response.
I do want to join this wonderful class of 2015!!!!!!!!!!!
so did anyone get any of these 40 interviews yet or are they still waiting for withdrawls?
👍👍 Well said, Kaj!
Welcome Dswan,
I hope your interview was great! I completely understand about the waiting... it's such a difficult time with so much emotional turmoil! Have faith! I'll be praying for you. I'm glad our stories are available for everyone to look at and see that they aren't going through all this alone. We can encourage each other and pull through together 🙂🙂
