2015-2016 Howard University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
you should definitely call I got my confirmation email the next day or email Ms Walk
I got a confirmation from Ms. Walk that they are considering me for the PARP program, but they have to make sure my application meets with the guidelines in which in my opinion is a lottery for me. Yea, I get there pretty early before most people, but it'll be so exciting to get a feel of Howard and meet their students before the year starts. Overall, they haven't gave me the green light just yet on the acceptance, but I will definitely take it.
 
To anyone who has interviewed here, how long did it take to receive a confirmation email after you told them which dates you were available?
I got my confirmation 2 days later.

Did you receive an interview invite recently? And if so, when did you get your invite if you don't mind me asking?
 
Hey anyone who has already gone through the interview process what is the interview format like? Is it a blind interview or has the interviewer already reviewed my file ?
I asked the same question before I went to my interview on march 23rd. Somedy gave a really detailed answer. If you go couple pages back on this thread you will see that answer. In a nutshell it is open file interview. The interview is really relaxed for the most part. No grilling. Most interviewees that day said the same thing. Interview day really chill too. You get to meet students, visit the simulation lab, anatomy lab. Go to a class. Definitely go back 2 or 3 pages and look for that post.

If you are denied from Howard do you still receive the out of committee email? Im trying to prematurely decipher if I have been accepted, does the out of committee email that imply acceptance?

I asked someone that was waitlisted if they received the out of committee email and they said no. And that guy you just quoted didn't even interview. I asked him earlier in the thread and he replied. It seems like they only send out of committee letters to accepted students unless proven otherwise.

So I haven't heard anything since the "are you still interested" email and a subsequent back and forth email with Ms. Walk. I don't wan't to harass the poor woman but like I'd like to know if interview invites are still a thing and since phone calls don't work... Any ideas?

I would like to know this as well. Keep calling over and over?

it seems like a positive sign from what I've heard. If the email says you can call when your letter has been signed it's a good indicator because they don't usually give out rejections over the phone.

Did you get in?!
 
does anyone know what days they have been sending out IIs?
 
hey, would you happen to know if most of the people from your interview date were from the DC/Maryland/Virginia area?
We were 2 people from the dmv on that interview day. All the other people flew in and a few drove down from places like NC and the like. Also note that the second most represented state in their student body is CA which was a surprise for most of us.

ohh okay. interesting. thanks!
 
For those of you that took classes this fall after submitting your AMCAS app, did you have to bring a copy of an official transcript with your fall grades with you to your interview?
I was in a similar situation. You don't have to take one with you but I took a copy of my official transcript and gave it to Ms. Walk after the interview day was over. I would recommend you do the same thing instead of mailing it at a later time!
 
I just got an II!! I got so excited I started crying at work lol I'm still shaking.

There's still hope for those waiting on an II! 🙂
omg yay! when is your interview date? and what other dates were available.. if any?
 
I received an out of committee email... but I was waitlisted. it is not always an acceptance 🙁(
 
I'm not sure yet, I selected the 19th and 20th as my preferred dates though. The dates available were: 4/19, 4/20, 4/26, and 4/27.
They gave you 4 dates ??? They only gave me 2 dates that were the following week.
