PARP is is a guaranteed acceptance into the class , you just start earlier at the end of may then you have a break 2-3 weeks break at the end of June I believe before starting with the rest of the class in mid-July.
The letter says that successful completion of the academic coursework guarantees a spot in the upcoming class.

I love to see movement...!
Hahaha... I just realized we interviewed the same day!
Well I hope you have some good luck too!!!!!
It looks like no movement since Monday. But sounds like they're working on PARP.
Makes sense. PARP starts at the end of May
Yea in a little over a week! May 18th
Wow, that is soon! Pretty exciting.
I was told by a HUCM student that it is sort of like a conditional acceptance and people accepted are people who have been out of school for a while or there was something about their GPA/MCAT/transcript that was lower than what Howard was looking for. If you don't do well, there's still a chance they can retract your acceptance. HOWEVER, most (if not all) people tend to do well with PARP and it generally helps them with the transition to medical school because it reviews material that'll be taught during first year. The main purpose is to help make this transition a bit easier.
Not sure if this is relieable information because as you said, there isn't much information about PARP and the student I heard it from was not part of PARP. Regardless of what PARP is, I think if someone accepted into PARP, they should be happy because they'll likely be starting medical school in July, they'll get a good review of the material before school starts, and they'll form a closeknit cohort with other PARP members. =)

No news for anyone?
Nah!
Hopefully soon! Sending lots of positive vibes, prayers, and well-wishes your way @petitchat2006 !
Thank you @Doc4Underserved , thanks a lot!

Today, I got off the Hold List at Penn State, which I had fallen in love with during my interview. I accepted their offer and withdrew my acceptance from Howard immediately. My withdrawal means someone will be accepted from the wait list. I wish the absolute best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!

I spoke to Ms. Walk today. She said that they finished reviewing March interviewees last week and we should expect to hear something hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday! So excited, so nervous 
For those who got accepted for PARP, what are your stats like, if you don't mind me asking? Thank you!

No problem, hope you hear some good news soon!
Any April interviewees heard anything back yet?
Nothing yet, but I think we are coming up soon 🙂
Its a shame I never heard anything from Howard. I guess a rejection email would have been nice.
Pre or post interview?
My situation was that I got confirmation that I was "Out of Committee on April 24th then I received the acceptance on May 4th, so a little over a week. Hope that helps.
If you were post interview, they said to call them in the office if you have not heard anything after a month has passed since your interview
