Let's keep our faith and hope strong. It's tough, but I hope and pray that we will be medical students at HUCM. It's a dream, and a beautiful dream that I want to be true at HUCM. I'll say it again, I love this school😍😍, and my Lord, may you provide us a way. You open doors that no man can close. We ask with your Blessed Name. All praises are for You.

I recently emailed a second update letter to this school.... I hope they don't get too annoyed with me. lol
 
MWB and aamir89, hope your interviews coming up go very excellent for you both! I know you will do great! 🙂

Thanks, sweetness! I'm extremely excited for this opportunity and can't wait to meet my family and home for the next four years (if accepted, God willing!) I've been looking forward to this for a long time. God-willing, your day will come soon and we can all be classmates.
 
I hope that it gives more reasons to accept you! 🙂 I hope they love me too!😍


Yes! I'm praying that all of us here on this forum hear some good news soon from this school! All you guys on this thread sound like you would be amazing and supportive classmates.... all the more reason for me to want to attend Howard! 🙂
 
Hi guys!!


So I'm pretty new to this site and just got an invitation to interview at Howard! (whooohoooo!!) I was wondering, can anyone give me some feedback on the type of questions asked during the interview? Any unique questions outside of the standard ones? Is it open/closed file? One on one or a panel?

Whelp! 😕

Oh my God! That's amazing, congrats!!!!!! My interview is tomorrow and I'm extremely excited to attend. I was going to bed soon and had this weird feeling that there would be some news here and randomly wanted to check. Your news made my night. I'm very happy for you. Honestly, you'll love it. I met some students so far and I have to say everyone is so nice! I feel so at home here and everyone feels like family. It's so easy to just join in and feel a part of the community. Can't wait for tomorrow, I hope I can sleep!

Hey Everyone! You guys are all so supportive and positive, I hope I can attend Howard just to be surrounded by this energy 🙂..Just been PRAYING daily for an interview invite:xf:Congrats for those of you that got accepted and good luck for those of your interviewing or waiting for an interview like me!

Has anyone sent a letter of interest? Would that be a good idea to send right now? I don't want to be annoying but I cant take this waiting anymore, I feel like I need to do something...what do you guys think??

I've submitted letters of interest (one of them was more an update letter- I had new volunteer activities to update them with); I still have yet to hear back whether I'll be interviewed or not. But I say go ahead and submit them! Just make sure to follow up with them to make sure that they've been added to your file.

Good luck! :luck:
 
I was blessed to have the opportunity to interview yesterday and I have to say: I WAS BLOWN AWAY. Here's my takeaway 😉 from just the interview day, I won't be repeating stuff you may find online, etc.

I don't know if it was the fact that it was the last day of Black History Month or just the massive history around us throughout the day but it was extremely humbling and inspiring. The halls and faculty offices are filled with evidence of the longstanding legacy at the school. By the end of the day, I became a true believe in the fact that what a lot of other schools are just implementing in their education in the name of cultural sensitivity, service to the community, and meeting the needs of communities in need, HUCM has been doing since inception, over 140 years ago.

The most valuable asset I found was the camaraderie amongst the students - they seemed like family to one another. They were very warm in their interactions, especially with us interviewees. Even though they were very busy and probably had assignments/studying to do, everyone made sure to answer any questions we have and guide us, one-by-one. I can truly see myself thrive amongst this crowd, God-willing 😀.

Finally, the director of admissions (Ms. Walk) went above and beyond what we'd expected to calm us down and make sure we all felt comfortable from the moment we sat in the our chairs in the morning. She wasn't feeling well, but her energy, enthusiasm, and deep-rooted passion towards HUCM and the college mission was CLEAR in every sentence.

If you have any other specific questions about the interview day, feel free to ask. I wish everyone with upcoming interviews good luck! Just be yourself and let your awesome personality shine =) Those waiting for invites, be patient and don't lose hope. If you have any significant updates, don't hesitate to email them about it. They truly value those sincerely interested in the school.

And now my question to those accepted lol how long did it take before hearing from them?!?!?! I don't mean to be impatient or anything, just wondering - I'm definitely eager to find out. :xf:
 
Welcome trulyblessed!! 🙂

Send in those updates and continue to pray and hope! May good news come soon! 🙂
 
Glad to hear your interview day go well MWB!! I hope you get to hear about that acceptance very soon!! I think HUMC typically sends acceptances and other notifications near the 15th of the month. Hopefully you get that good news when it goes through the committee! I'm very exciting about my interview coming in two weeks. I got my confirmation yesterday!! Those of you waiting for invites, keep your hope and faith strong. It's tough, but God willing hope good things come soon!! 🙂
 
Hey blessed people,

I hope one of you all can answer my question, i want to send an update letter to howard, should i sent it it Ms. Walk or just the admissions office in general?

Thanks

👍👍 Im glad that you had a positive experience here! Good luck MWB! Hopefully, I'll see you in the summer 😀

last year, I heard back in two weeks but some of my classmates did not hear back for months... Honestly, as long as the email says "ACCEPTED" it really does not matter when it comes 🙂

so you will get an email with the status of the app? I was told many different things
Us being able to call after the email that the letter is on its way
Result posted through snail mail
Result given to us through email
Admissions office calling us

I'm so confused cause its getting to that time in which I was told my letter would be signed and on its way to me (regardless of the decision) and I'm just confused on if there's a chance I can know my fate before the snail mail arrives. Any newly accepted students or current students care to chime in?

Thanks and congrats to all those who have recently received interview invites.

I received a confirmation as well, they said around the beginning of March. However what you really have to wait for is the signing of the letters by the Associate Dean. Dates aside we won't get the confirmation email til then. Then after that we can freely call the office to find out the results.

I am anxious too, so I know that nervous feeling. I hope we both have a reason to celebrate by the end of the day. 🙂
 
Hi SDNers,

Good News everyone, I was accepted into the entering class of 2016 and couldn't be more happy.
I am truly humbled and really cannot contain how grateful I am to become a part of the history of Howard University College of Medicine.

To those still waiting on interviews or feedback, keep hope alive, there is an entire team of people rooting for you and want to see you all succeed.
This forum is truly a treasure and I want to thank everyone here, and I hope to give back in kind to future classes.

Now I'm going to go take a walk.
