This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hello everyone,
First time using SDN.
Does anyone have any info on housing, on and off campus. Or is anyone looking for a roommate. I'm not from the DC area. I'm coming from the South.
Congratulations to all the students that were accepted.
Class of 2020.:clap::soexcited:

They say that they may extend more interview invites, but are not sure. But why wait? If you are able to tackle a weakness in your application you should start doing so at this point, no point waiting to find that you could've gotten an additional solid month in of studying.
 
Hey guys first time posting on this thread but I've been following it. Congrats to those who have been accepted thus far! I interviewed mid march and am losing my patience! Has anyone from the March 15th interview day heard back? Does anyone know how full the class is is now?

I agree with you on this patience thing....

did you get any emails from howard at all???
 
Hopefully for some letters signed emails come out today. I emailed Ms. Walk on Tuesday and I was informed that I couldn't be told anything until Thursday. I guess I will wait another week before making a final decision.
 
Today is the college of medicine graduation/post graduation ceremony from 9am-3pm Eastern Time today actually so idk how much movement will be happening at the admissions office..

Are they still interviewing ? It's getting late right now. With school starting on july 13 it would be kind of bad if some people hear back on July 12 or something

I think the last interview day was April 27th. I could be wrong though.

Apparently they have accepted ppl on the first day of classes before... So it's not over till it's over.

That's true. I know patience is a virtue but it's killing me. I guess another week in the waiting game will continue.

im in the same boat, out of committee on Tuesday and waiting to hear something back! Either by mail or email
 
Does anyone know when does the Facebook group accept your request? It's been 3 days and I haven't gotten anything. I'm trying to find potential roommates from the page but it's taking awhile.

Have you paid your deposit yet ? Is your facebook name the same as your real name ? It shouldn't take that long.

Yep, it's the same. I already paid for my good faith deposit. I just mailed off my enrollment deposit yeaterday. Maybe they need that first

Yeah they do need that first to put you on the list of people eligible to enter the group.

Where exactly did you mail your deposits? I was accepted almost a month ago, but I have yet to receive admission packet in the mail with the detailed instructions.

This is the mailing address Sharmon Jones emailed me. They accept any money order from any post office.
Howard University College of Medicine
Admission Office
520 W Street, NW, Suite 2310
Washington, D.C. 20059

They received my good faith deposit already, and I just sent my enrollment fee 3 days ago by using this address.

Just free type a letter saying that you received the acceptance offer and you accept it. Go to a post office or walmart or whatever place where they do money order and do it for howard university 520 W street NW. You enclose your letters and money order in an envelope and send it by mail. Don't send it with expedited USPS mail cuz they wont get it. Send it through fedex if you want to send it expedited. It will get there the next day. I will recommend doing this ASAP if you really wanna attend cuz u're saying it's been a month since you received the offer... I was accepted on 04/26 and my acceptance packet still hasn't showed up in my mailbox. I'm actually gonna have to print the health forms from the website to complete them. Don't go by the mailed acceptance packet cuz some of us may never get it on time lol.

Does anyone know what laptop specs are required by the school? They mentioned that we can buy our own as long as they meet some sort of minimum requirements?

There's an eBay daily deal on an Acer that looks really solid but I'm not sure if it'll suffice for Howard
 
do you know if the majority of the ppl in the group are committed to matriculating? Bc I know ppl are in multiple med school fb groups....

It seems like the majority of people will be matriculating. The group really increased in size after the April 30th deadline to hold one acceptance. Right now there are 6o people in the Facebook group not including the 2 administrators who are rising M2s.
 
Is the Class size is 120?

I'm waiting for the facebook group approval too. Paid deposits back in February.

Maybe a stupid question, but where do students who bike to the school lock up their bikes? I didn't see any bike racks when I was down there at my interview, but there was a fence across the street from the main entrance... Just want to make sure I don't lock my bike to something that's going to get it cut off.

Yes it is with about 4-6 coming from the BS/MD program and 20 coming from PARP if successfully completed.
