Applying here as well! Do you know when Howard expects to send out secondaries?
I believe I read online that it's on or around August 14.
Does anyone know if Howard has a major preference for IS applicants?
According to the MSAR, 108/117 students who matriculated for Fall 2015 were out of state.
According to MSAR, you are good. They will accept back to August 2013.
Any one receive the secondaries yet? Can you please post the prompts? Thanks
Anyone else heard about secondaries yet?
According to MSAR, secondaries can be submitted on August 15th so my guess is that we should be getting them in the next 2-3 weeks.
I just want to be done with secondaries 🙁
How receptive is this school to OOS applicants?
You can't be serious. This school is in DC everyone is out of state. Do your research on sites like start class or even in old thread on this site. it's especially important to know the very basic things about the school when completing secondaries and during interviews if you get one.
They could still have a preference for surrounding areas, atleast thats what I was getting at when I posted my version of that question. Plus whats the difference between looking at an old thread for old information and receiving new, up-to-date information from this current thread, especially considering the fact that current students have been known to answer questions on the forums...is that not in itself research?

OP asked if Howard is receptive to out of state applicants. A Google search will answer that. My point is practically everyone is out of state because of the geographical location of the school. Checking a site like start class and seeing the breakdown of applicants, interviewees, and matriculants' home states makes that question silly, to me at least. Even so, this question has been answered before. The admissions process really hasn't/doesn't change. It would be different if OP asked if Howard having integrated learning (or not) or something specific. It's a very general question that anyone can answer whether or not they go to the school. We're all aspiring docs here we have to be resourceful.
I didn't know the forum had policies against asking questions that have already been asked before or questions that were "too general" but ok.... I mean,
I don't see why a person can't use this forum as a resource to gain answers to questions they may have, silly (in your opinion) or otherwise, without getting condescending answers in return...but again ok
....Anyway i've never heard of that website you mentioned where stats are listed, I'll have to check it out!

I never stated that or implied that it was against any policy. I simply answered OPs question. You took my answer as condescending and decided to engage my comment and interpret my motives for whatever reason. You also decided to interpret/extrapolate OPs question to level 10000, when all I did was read it at face value. Maybe I've been hitting the Pysch/Soc books too hard, but I think this has much less to do with OPs question, but rather you got offended because you asked a question similar to OPs and now you feel dense. Nevertheless, the info out there for all other aspiring pre-meds. I'll make it especially easy for you add the specific link for Howard 😉. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

Lololol. Apparently you've been hitting the psych books a lot harder than I have because i've never read a psych book that taught omniscence in the first person to the point where you could decipher what your comment made me think about myself...Go ahead and put your General Psych books back in the box though, i'm not going to engage you any longer lol. Thanks for the links though..I'm sure that they will be a lot more helpful in ACTUALLY answering the original question than your previous rant was. Though being helpful probably isn't as self gratifying as berating others is for you, is it?
LMAO Omniscence? Why are we talking about a band again?? The original comment wasn't about you. It wasn't directed at you. It actually, and this is the kicker here, had nothing to do with you, whatsoever. You literally jumped in out of nowhere bringing up your tangent question as if someone was talking about it or cared. But I'm the one who was ranting? Oh okay. News flash Princess, the world doesn't give a half of a crap about you or your feelings. Take off the diaper and put on your big girl panties. All the other rugrats grew up maybe you should try it too.
Thank you for your polite response. My MSAR subscription ran out a couple of weeks ago which is why I asked here.
Did anybody else get an email from here confirming the date that secondaries get sent out as august 15th?
Same boat not verified yet but will be by end of week. Think they are just aware of who added them to their AMCAS application even before verification.

I have not been verified on amcas yet but I did not receive that email. Are they sending it out to only verified applicants?
I'm verified now, but I wasn't at the time when I received the email.
+1. But I doubt it means anything negative for those who didn't get the email. Howard seems to be admittedly all over the place with the way they send out emails.
