Thank you Sweetness!
From personal experience it took about a month for the committee to review my file after the interview, however Ms. Walk usually tells you when you should be hearing something. If she did, I would wait until that date. If not, then I think a month is enough time to call for an application update.
All the best powerincarnate!!!!

Spoke to Ms Walk this morning. She said there were about 10 withdrawals in the class in the past week or so. They will be sending offers soon.....
Do you plan to call/email or just wait to hear from Ms Walk on the 15th?
I hope those openings go to everyone waiting for an acceptance in this forum so we can celebrate together. Keep the prayers coming! Each day we're one step closer to our dream!

Nice to hear about the acceptances. Hope more people on here can share good news. Would really love to be part of this class at Howard.
Congratulations!!! Did you interview on April 3rd?
Join the Facebook group! The current students can assist you in finding housing plus I'm sure the accepted students already have an idea about the surrounding apartment complexes. Good luck! 🙂 I can't wait to be on the other side of the fb group instead of lurking from the outside like a stalker lol

Congrats Dakangel!
I was also accepted on May 15th!!!!! I was full of happy tears! God is so good, this was my second time applying! To everybody else waiting, my year off was very beneficial - taught me to learn to trust God when things didn't go according to MY plan. His plan is much better. Hope to see everyone in July, but if not NEVER give up!

Well SDN family, I guess it isn't God's will for me to attend med school after all🙁 or at least not Howard🙁 Received my REJECTION letter in the mail today..no out of committee email or rejection email. I pray the best for the rest of you waiting..all of the inspiration and encouragement I've sown...can someone please encourage me? Absolutely crushed :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
InsanelyPOSH I'm sorry to hear that and I know this news is very difficult right now. But sometimes God has other plans and he ALWAYS answers our prayers, Sometimes the answer He gives us isn't what we want to hear, but He answers.
I know how disappointed you must be but think of it like this, maybe this is God's way of telling you that there are bigger and better opportunities to come and if you just wait a little longer you will realize His reasons. Like you said this thread has been such a great support system for both you and I, and during this time, I suggest that you also draw inspiration, motivation and hope from this very same group of people. As you go through the threads, there are countless people who were accepted after being unsuccessful the year before and in retrospect realized that everything happened for a reason. Whether the time wasn't right, they weren't ready, or other doors opened up, you WILL realize why God chose to bring you to this place and when you do, I praythat you will also be able to shine the light on someone else in your position and give them the encouragement they need to take the next step.
THANK YOU for your kind words, encouragement and for being HERE with us along this journey. Whatever you decide I wish you all the best and if this is the profession you want to pursue....NEVER give up. If you're entering medicine for the right reasons, an extra year, costs, or even a rejection shouldn't stop you from fulfilling that ultimate goal 🙂😍😍😍🙂
Awww InsanelyPOSH. I feel your pain. I've been there, and not only once either. I know it seems very bad now, but if you really want to pursue medicine, please DO NOT give up!!! Last year I went to one of Howard's open house sessions and met with Ms. Jones on one occasion and Ms. Walk on a second occasion. They counselled me and basically told me what I was doing wrong and how to make it right. I took their advice, and I am at Howard now and loving every minute of it (even though there a ton of work). You will love it here. It's 'freakin' awesome. Go to a first Friday open house, meet with admissions, and let them hear your story and feel your passion. They genuinely care.In the words of Dr. Lefall, "If it had not been for Howard..." If it had not been for Howard, I would not be here. No other school accepted me, and to be honest, I am glad of that. I've only been here one week, but I feel at home. You can do it, if you want to. A year seems like an eternity, but it's not. I'm sure you're not 60 or 70 years old! Apply this year again and do what you have to do to pursue your dream. It's hard to trust God sometimes, but I must say that He is one Dad that NEVER lets his children down. Come on girl, you can do it!!!

I feel your pain too. 🙁 I'm gonna also say don't give up on your dream to become a doctor. God's will works in great ways and is always for the better. Keep your trust in Him. I know that you will make it and become a great doctor! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! 🙂
Once I get the letter, I'll know officially what it is. If I get in this year, that would be really great. I really hope to be part of this years class. If I don't get in this year, I'm not going to give up at all. I think Howard is a very great school and I hope to become a student here one day soon.

InsanelyPOSH, I know from experience how crushing getting rejection letters can be after waiting for a response for so long. I was in the same boat last year when I got rejected from all the schools I applied to.
But one thing I can tell you is NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM if that is what you really want to do. God is working on your behalf even if it does not seem like it. Even though I was rejected from Howard last year, I kept believing in God and sought to do everything I can during my year stay at home to be a better applicant. God has been faithful and I'm going to medical school this year.
So I can tell you with full confidence that it DOES get better even if it does not look like it now. Just keep your head up and keep pressing forward. Looking forward to seeing you at Howard soon🙂

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
- Winston Churchill
Nothing you have done is wasted, it all contributes to who you are and your character. I wouldn't count yourself out there is next year to apply, you can call and ask for assistance about what exactly your weaknesses are.
My advice would be the regular don't give up spiel...etc. , but also don't resign yourself to settling there is so much you can achieve when you try your best. So put your best foot forward and I don't think you can go wrong from there.
