Honestly, even if no one responds, they have probably seen your email. I sent them something and got no confirmation but they had it in my file on interview day.
They’ll be interviewing until like mid-April so it’s not over yet!

They recently told you that?
Yes
Accepted on Friday as well via email. Interviewed late January.
Best of luck to everyone else this cycle. Hang tight, you can do this!

I just took a look at last year's application stats and Howard U had 8988 Applicants/ 301 Interviews/ 112 Matriculants. I didn't realize how many applicants that were applying here. This year is probably going to be around 10,000 applicants.
For those already accepted, any news on financial aid and/or award info?
I didn't get any financial aid/award info, and I'm pretty sure they said we won't receive that until after we commit to the school
Lol Even a month after we pay the $400 deposit fee?
I have an interview on March 28th! Does anyone know the chances of getting in after that? I'm not sure how many spots will still be available.
Congrats! when did you hear from Howard? When did you submit? Stats?

II today! I just found out I was one of the people who they sent an invite to earlier in the cycle but never got it 
Congrats! How did you realize that? LolII today! I just found out I was one of the people who they sent an invite to earlier in the cycle but never got it
Someone called me and asked if I was still interested because I never responded to the emails they sent! I just about died and was resurrected to tell her yes I was still very interested lol she said it was probably because of the email address I was using

Jeeeeze now thats a story.....! Now I will not only be refreshing my email, but making sure I am getting calls and answering every one of them!
Congrats to the recently accepted folks! I'm just hoping for a late II at this point.
There's a really good chance! I don't remember the numbers they gave us in late January, but there were still a lot more slots they needed to fill. Maybe a little less than half.

Did you have a communication status update on your portal for the invite you missed? That is literally my biggest fear right now lolII today! I just found out I was one of the people who they sent an invite to earlier in the cycle but never got it
For those wondering... I interviewed recently and We were told that they extended acceptances beyond the class limit and waiting for people to respond to either reject or accept before they send additional II’s and acceptances.
No I still have not had any changes in the communication status tab. I don’t think they really update that portal after you submit your secondary
they don't update it at all (at least for me), mine still says interview not scheduled yet and I was accepted last week
I’m interviewing on the last Tuesday in March (3/27). I’m not sure if it’s full though because it was my first choice out of the 3 they gave me and I got it so it’s possible there is still space that day (this is my own speculation though)
Okay wow, so they have already handed out more than 300 acceptances?

it was physical mail
II today! I just found out I was one of the people who they sent an invite to earlier in the cycle but never got it
My god this post has now made me very paranoid. What if this has happened to me, somebody else, or 20 other people... . Anybody think it's worth calling at this point to check? If so, any advice on what to say? Hahahaha oh my god!
Alright that's calming because I kept staring their Admission Timetable at work.
If that’s the case, that’s not reassuring at all lmfao
I’m like do better Howard smh.
That doesn’t seem right... they normally only extend 250 acceptances out of 300 interviews so I’m assuming they mean they already handed out more than the class size limit which is ~120
They accept 83% of students who interview? Is that normal?!
This also doesn’t seem right because like they’ve been silent for months. It’s like they accepted all these people and forgot they still had people to interview January-March
I agree....l think last year they interviewed in April so that post doesn't seem to line up with previous cycles
I’m just going to tell myself they’re disorganized lol.
It sounds like the portal never gets updated
Definitely not normal but the general thought is if they interview you, they want you ( Picking only 300 out of an application pool of over 5,000). I think around 230 are outright acceptances and they rest could be from waitlist.
Sadly, I've heard this before about HU and their adcoms.
As a current undergrad student at HU, I can confirm that HU is disorganized at times. I still love this place though.
Wow! I have a small shred of hope left for an II but this doesn't sound good.
