Don't sweat, be confident, and pray with your heart. Our Lord listens to our prayers. May He grant us this blessing to become a doctor, attend HUCM and serve His creation. 🙂

Oh yeah Obeah, I jam to this, as long as you love me, i want it that way, and many others. They are just so calming. Their millenium album is just the best lol.

In the car though!!! Dont tell me you will be jamming to this song as we all study for tests and what not...I might have to pull out the Billy Ocean!

 

[MumDoc]

awww brother sweetness, i am really rooting for you. I hope things work out the way you want them 😍.

[MDPhD22]

Accepted!!! After three years of applying. Sooo excited! Good luck to everyone!

Congrats Brittany!!

BTW...Does anyone know what the interview process is like for MD/PhD applicants?

 

[lilcguy]

The little I know is that after 2 years you can apply for the joint program and spend 3 or more years doing the research portion and finish the PhD and go back to do the clinical portions of medical school.

 

[sweetness34]

Congrats Brittany!!

BTW...Does anyone know what the interview process is like for MD/PhD applicants?

Hey MDPhD22, if you would like for information about the MD/PhD program, try calling the office on Friday from 2-3:30. Their phone number is (202) 806-6279. Also the office will also take calls on Thursday December 29th, and Friday December 30th, from 2-3:30. Hope that helps!

Very happy for you ibrama! Congrats! Faith is alive and strong, God is the Greatest, all Praises and Glory to Him, and with His Blessed Name we ask and pray. Everything happens through Him. Through Him, we get all our blessings. Happy Holidays! 🙂



P.S: Pray for me this holiday season and in the upcoming year. I pray that the day comes soon, that I can also share one day, of the blessed news of being a student at this school. You all are in my prayers! 🙂

[Linette]

I read on earlier posts that someone was willing to email out the Word format of the secondary application....Can anyone direct me to who that person was...
I never got it as an attachment
thanks much 🙁

 

[iwantcookies]

It's me! I'm the person who can send you the Howard app in word format. Send me a PM with your email and I'll do it ASAP!

 

[Hopeful234]

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you all get the best gift in the next year!!!!!

Hey everyone! Anyone got a January interview coming up? I think they mentioned in the email that they are starting to doing January invites. And they are halfway done with the interviews. 😱

 

[MWB]

How's everyone holding out? I'm getting pretty nervous since it's almost January and haven't heard back at all.

Did anyone get an interview after a letter of update of some sort or something? I'm thinking about sending one in about this new research gig I got involved with. But at the same time I don't know if the admissions office will be annoyed with it. decisions, decisions...lol

Send it in. I just submitted recent fall semester grades, and they were not annoyed. Still no invite though . Send it to the 'jwalk' address, not the general howard admissions email address. I sent in my grades to the latter address, and they never received them.

I'm pretty nervous too and kind of sad 🙁. It's a great idea to send an a letter of interest or update. I gave a letter of interest. It appears that so far on the thread no one mentioned of getting a January invite. Would really love to hear back soon. I love this school!! 😍

 

[Kaji215]

Accepted!!! After three years of applying. Sooo excited! Good luck to everyone!

Congrats BB115!!! I cant wait to meet you next year! 🙂. If I could give you one piece of advise it would be to really enjoy yourself of the next few months. Just relax. If you haven't taken any classes in three yrs then brush up on your biochem (since thats the first thing you will be given next year) and maybe your anatomy since 3/5 of first year is anatomy. You are going to looooove it at HUCM 😀

 

[Kaji215]

Congrats Brittany!!

BTW...Does anyone know what the interview process is like for MD/PhD applicants?

its my understanding that you have to be accepted for each school separately. I do not think that there is an interview process for the graduate school (Ph.D portion) but you must first get into the medical school and then subsequently accepted to the Ph.D program. GOOD LUCK!!!
If you PM me your email address, I could pass it on to some of my classmates that are doing the MD/Ph.D program

Stay strong Sweetness34. there are plenty more interview opportunities in 2012. I didnt get my interview invite until Jan 9th and that was for an interview on the Jan 11th (which I had to decline due to financial reasons).

Just make sure that you're prepared for the interview and any possible questions that they could throw at you. the worst thing you would want is to get there and be unprepared. that will only guarantee you a rejection.

Try to enjoy tonight and focus on med school next week when the admission offices open back up

 

[Kaji215]

I just want to say HAPPY NEW YEARS SDNers!!! 2012 is your year! whether its at HUCM or another medical school, you are one acceptance away from the next chapter in your lives. I wish you all the best of luck and prosperous 2012 😀

Thanks for your advice. I think I will definitely send them an update soon. Let's pray we all hear something soon!

Hi Everyone,

I would first like to say (as many have already mentioned), that this forum has seriously been the most encouraging and the most positive group of all the ones I have read so far on SDN 🙂

I am kind of surprised I haven't heard many updates recently (I bet people are celebrating the holidays and the new year), but I got an interview for HUCM this month (January)!!!! Wooohooo!!! Soooo excited! 😀

Honestly, for those who haven't heard back yet, don't give up. I applied late in the application cycle because I decided to re-take my MCAT in September, which I ended up improving my scores.

Here are dates:
secondary received: 11/9
completed: 11/15
email received by HUCM: 12/9
interview invite: 12/28

Let's stay positive like we have so far, I know we all can do it 🙂

Hey sm211! Happy to hear that you got an interview invite! I think HUCM is the best school and I really love this school. 😍 Being positive helps, and I'm happy that you get to start off the year with an invite to HUCM. Hope that we also hear some good news soon. So far the past has been so much work and hardship, I could really use some good news soon! Anything is possible with you Lord!

Congrats SM! You'll knock it out for sure. Just be prepared for the interview and have fun.

This forum >>> all other MS forums. Folks here don't care about your stats, they just want you to be the best doc you can be, and we know how hard it is to get into MS, so I believe there's a greater appreciation of the process here.

I received my acceptance this past month, and I'm stoked, so I really hope you all get some great news soon, whether it's an interview or that acceptance packet.

Happy New Year!!!!

That's what I love about this forum and this school. It is more than numbers/stats!! And I believe at this school we will be the best doc that we can be!
