I emailed her as well but no reply. Does that mean anything?

Thank You for the update!!!

What was the title of your email? Because she said in the interview to label it something to do with the fact that you already interviewed so she would know. I labeled mine post-interview status.

I understand man. I am too. Ms. Walk emails back quickly, so maybe she can point you in the correct direction.

I emailed her a week ago and she still has yet to say anything. They emailed me to see if I would potentially be interested in an interview, I said yes, and heard nothing else. I'm confused. What was the pt, if an interview wasn't going to be offered?

I have also sent an e-mail last week on Tuesday but no luck. I'm actually waiting for an interview, but if they do not send me an invitation next week than I guess I will take that as a sign of rejection. 🙁

Im in the same boat as you. They actually asked me would I potentially be interested and I said yes. They said they noted it and then I heard nothing else. SIGHS
 
To those that have been accepted, if you are thinking about housing/renting, contact me. I am an incoming freshman like you. I am looking for a roommate.
 
So, currently, it looks like around a 6-8 week wait until the out-of-committee notice comes. That winter weather sure had a huge impact here. As February interviewees receive your notices (and acceptances), could you post? I know that'd definitely help me out (read: keep me sane), as well as anyone else who has interviewed in March/April!

CONGRATULATIONS!
wahhhh I want to be apart of the accepted Jan-28th group. Ms. Walk said my interviewer wasn't able to be at the last meeting and they didn't meet this past thursday. She has also been out of the office on vacation.
 
Thank you to everyone for updating us on your status! It is super helpful. Congratulations to everyone hearing good news and for the rest of us, we just have to stay patient! I interviewed 3/11 so I'm preparing myself to wait a few more weeks 🙂
 
Thanks. 3.4 cgpa 3.8 sgpa 32. Non trad (verrry nontrad lol) reapp. Oos.

URGENT PLEASE HELP
I just got invited for an interview at Howard. Please what's the nature of the interview? do they do group interviews with many students at the same time or the normal one on one? Any advice on the nature of the interview, what questions to expect and any general tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations on the interview invite! The day is pretty relaxed and everyone is really nice and helpful so don't freak out. Make sure you eat a good breakfast because it's a long day! Know your application inside and out, know why you want to go to Howard, and just be yourself. Good luck!

Thank you so much. What's the nature of the interview? A group of students interviewed at the same time or one student at a time?

It is one student at a time with one interviewer. The interviews usually last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. Very relaxed they usually just talk about things that kind of pop on your application.

The interview process at Howard is really relaxed but still an interview. It is one on one but the interviewees are given time to interact with each other and get to know one another a bit.

Know why you want to go to Howard!!! Really important. Howard is extremely serious about their mission statement and want students that embody that.

Know your app! That's standard for any interview at any school.

Overall, be yourself. I got the impression that they are very good at weeding out the "crap" that people tend to spew when they try to overly impress. Be yourself and try to remain relaxed. Simultaneously, know that you are being interviewed from the time you walk in to the time you leave by everyone you come into contact with.

Take it all in. Howard has a very rich history that's not only impressive but humbling at the same time. It's very family-oriented which helps with making you feel welcome.

Good luck!! Hopefully, I'll see you in July! 🙂
 
hmm... have tried this number at the right times.
