take it easy.. long way to go in life..
Did anyone who interviewed beginning of February hear anything back yet?
How many spots are open usually per IIs
Has anyone heard anything from financial aid?
We got an email about a week ago but that is all I have heard.
What options have you found? I hadn't considered there!
Mostly places within walking distance to the Prince Georges Metro station. I've been focusing on the 20782 zipcode, so buildings such as Mosaic at Metro, Alterra, Post Park, University Towers, etc. This location seems to be in between Howard and University of Maryland, so it is safe and mostly students and young professionals. Altogether, with walking and Metro, it's about a 30 minute commute to Howard.
Same here
~For anyone still waiting to hear back for an II~
I called Howard on Monday. The person I spoke to said the interview cycle will probably run until early May. She said if I didn't hear back by April 15th (which is a Saturday, but someone here got an II last Saturday!), then it most likely means I've been rejected.
P.S. I know some people here said they had difficulties calling admissions. I was able to get through after calling and then re-calling immediately after!

Do you mean the Health Sciences Financial Aid Form? If so, here's the link: DocuSign. A Video on how to complete it can be found here: How to Apply | Howard University College of Medicine

Yes, thank you!!!
Are they still sending out interview invites
As someone who has lived in the DMV my whole life I would suggest not focusing your search in that area. You want to be in DC or right outside. If you want to be in a college area then you need to look around College Park.
is adcom receptive to a LOI?
I sent one a while back and I was emailed that it was put in my file. Whether that means anything significant in reality, idk.
Sent from my iPhone
so I assume no II yet?
I wish they were more receptive to calls... been calling for like 2 months - no luck. just 1 email response and that didn't even tell me anything.
I wish that I could get a II. I'd book a flight so fast lol.
Sent from my iPad

Same! I would give anything for even a II...
Is this for safety reasons or...?
Any recent acceptances here?
Stats?

IS/OOS? Howard love me as much as i love you!
I feel like Howard is playing with me man. 🙁
. Been on an emotional rollercoaster since last year. It would all be worth it if i get an II though. So heres me praying.
BTW congrats to everyone that recently got an interview or acceptance.

Interview invite today!
stats? IS/OOS? complete date?
Congrats! Happy for you! But also wish they would send me one too haha
I hope they do!
I did call HU earlier this week to check on the status of my application. Not sure if this resulted in an II or if it was just a coincidence. If you haven't already called, maybe give it a try!
Thanks for letting me know! I actually found that email in my junk mail
. Don't forget to check your spam everyone 🙂
Which number did you call and what did you ask?

I just asked if someone could check on the status of my application. Whoever I spoke to was very nice and said that my application was still under review.
And then they sent the II?
Hi, did you hear back? How long did they take to give you an answer?
I'm not sure what affect the phone call had. They didn't say anything over the phone to indicate that me calling would result in an II.
My II email did say that there was a second review of my application. So who knows, maybe that phone call let HUCOM know that I was still very interested in interviewing.
I've heard stories of people calling which led to interviews and others leading to rejection. You just never know how it'll turn out.
Hey does your portal say that you have an interview scheduled? Unfortunately if the II goes to my spam I probably won't get it since my email has recently been attacked by HUNDREDS of spammers lol. So checking the portal is my only hope
