2015-2016 Howard University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If anyone is waiting for their HU ID, you can just call or email Sharmon Jones. She will give you your ID so you can login into your Bison Web.
 
Does the school send an email to let you know that your application is in committee, or do they only send out emails when your application is out of committee?
 
Hey everyone, Congrats on getting an interview invite and/or acceptance to HUCM. HUCM is a wonderful place to learn medicine.

I am a 4th year student graduating next week. And going to HUCM has been a wonderful experience. Just want to send you all good vibes. Those of you that havent gotten an interview invite yet, just keep on holding out hope.

Hi! Thanks for the encouragement and congratulations on graduating! Are you able to confirm if HUCM is still sending out interview invites? Of course the hope will be there if the possibility still exists. 🙂

Thank you kindly!

I just called the school and they said they haven't entirely decided if they will be sending out more interview invites or not but the possibility is there. The woman on the phone was extremely helpful so I would suggest you try calling if you have any specific questions. My conversation with her gave me a bit of hope 🙂

Did you just call the phone number for the admissions office? They seem tough to get ahold of.

Yes, as chocolate23 said, they are difficult to get ahold of but I eventually got through so it's definitely worth a try ☺
 
Has anybody who's been admitted recently received their admission packet?

I just received my admission packet today in the mail. It contained the same papers with 1 or 2 extra papers I've never seen before.

Same papers ? All I need is the admission response form. How long after getting the acceptance mail did you get it ?

It took a little under 2 weeks to get to my house. Of course, there was this orange sheet that requested for my decision with the money order mailed to them. However, I already emailed them stating that I will accept the offer and mailed my good faith deposit already. But I think it's acceptable. I recommend letting them know of your decision electronically rather than waiting for the admission packet. It shows dedication. Lol
Also, it says the money order is due on May 10 which I don't fully believe for people who will be accepted after that date.

I didn't see an option in the acceptance email that we could email them our decision. It said that we have to mail it to the admission office so I'm not quite sure what's going on here.

Can anybody tell me if the acceptance response form has the applicant name already written on it or not ? I might have to ask one you guys to maybe scan it and send it to me ? ... You would think living in the dc area I'd receive the acceptance packet quicker. Smh. Plus I don't know why they don't do everything electronically like every other school does.

hahahaha welcome to howard.....you have to pack your patience and go with the flow with this school or it'll make you frustrated.
 
Hey for the people who were recently admitted just want to let you know things are going very slow. I was accepted in December didn't get my admissions packet until almost February. But feel free to pm me for any help I can provide.

You really can just type one out yourself and mail it with ur deposit...The form you will get in the mail is generic...no unique info on it.

I think we're supposed to email Ms. Walk just to let her know that we got the acceptance email. I also let her know that I do plan to attend. She emailed me right back. I live in the DC area and haven't gotten the hard copy of the letter yet either. Thinking I'm going to hand deliver my deposit 😉 Oh and that way I can get my student id too! Looking forward to meeting everyone!
 
The funny part is that I emailed Sharmon Jones today and she claims I should have already received the packet by now if I received my admission last week. I'm just gonna do like you guys said and type one in myself. I think I've waited long enough.

Ok, I just emailed her too. From what I hear this is not unusual.

just got committee review completed email from ms walk at 1:06pm. interviewed march 23

is this a good sign? If you have gotten rejected or waitlisted, did you get this email? Or did you just get an email or letter saying you got rejected or waitlisted

did everyone who got accepted also get an out of committee email?

Usually when you get this email you end getting into the school... Talking from personal experience.

hey, I received the out of committee email as well. I interviewed on 3/30. Ironically enough, I sent in my letter of intent earlier that morning stating that I was accepted into Meharry but I am HIGHLY interested in attending Howard. Hopefully that played a part into their decision.

judging by old posts, we should hear back in 10 days. some people got the financial aid letter which gave it away. was that by mail or email?
 
Also got the out of committee email today. Does anyone else's email tell them not to call for a decision until their letter has been signed?

Congrats! What time did you receive your out of committee email today?
 
Has anyone else who interviewed prior to March 23 still not heard anything back yet?

Yes, I interviewed March 2 and have yet to hear back! I'm not sure how they review their intervieews, but I'm sure we'll hear something in due time.
