This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hey Guys,
Has anyone received an email from Ms. Walk stating that the Howard has received the confirmation deposit? I received an email last week saying that the system was down but has not heard back yet. Thanks

When did you interview and when were you accepted? Thanks!

Has anyone been rejected outright, or do they hold them all until the end of the cycle? I know they interview through April, but there are several posts here from people who submitted around the same time/after me with numbers in the same ballpark who have been accepted and I'm still waiting for an II. Still holding out hope, but it's diminishing.
 
@FaithHope23 I didn't send a letter of interest, but when I sent an app update I followed the below instructions. I'm guessing they should apply all the same since it's still an update:

Yes, they are receptive. Here's the response I received when I asked about it.

"Dear applicant,

Thank You for your interest in Howard University’s College of Medicine. We request that you send all application updates, via email, to[email protected] with the subject line APPLICATION UPDATE. This will expedite the process of reviewing the update and helps the admissions staff review emails more efficiently. Please include all update materials in the body of the email if possible. Please Note: Application Updates cannot be officially added to your application as all official application updates must be verified through AMCAS. Therefore, attachments will not be able to be uploaded to your AMCAS account through the Admissions office. Once again, the Admissions staff appreciates your interest in Howard’s medical school.

Sincerely,

Howard University’s College of Medicine-Office of Admissions "
 
Has anyone else not received their acceptance packet? I received the acceptance email the 30th and am still waiting.

Same! I thought the email said acceptance packages were mailed out that day at the top of the email in caps
 
There are two options: online and in person. I did the in person Masters. I am not so sure how the online program works though.
 
How long between getting out of committee and receiving your acceptance, if you don't mind me asking?

I got the acceptance 15 days after. But the email said less than two weeks so you may get yours sooner than 15 days 🙂
 
Up to what month does Howard interview to? This doggo has heard nothing but silence.

Has anyone had trouble accessing the website we are supposed to use to submit our deposit??

If you already have your hard copy acceptance letter, try signing into bison web with your student ID and follow the prompts to reset your password. After you've reset your password (changed it from the temporary one) then go back to the Howard Epay website to try and pay your deposit. Another person from my interview cohort had this issue. He had to reset his password in bisonweb first before the Howard Epay system recognized his student ID.

Thanks!! I will try that
 
If there are any current Howard students on here, do you know if people work while enrolled full-time to like... pay bills and eat and such
 
I just sent my letter of intent today. The last thing I heard from Howard was the interim status email. I'm hoping to get an II very soon.
