The tentative start day for orientation is Wednesday, July 11th (the key word here is tentative). If the schedule is similar to previous years, this means that the white coat ceremony would be on Friday, July 20th.
Thanks so much! Congrats on you acceptance!!! Do you happen to tentatively know when classes start!?

Is it the email I have correct? [email protected]? Paranoid now that they never received my update since I didn't get that message.
its [email protected] you got the m and c mixed up. probably best to resend you email
Interviewed early Feb, placed on "Strong Alternate Waitlist"..letter was stamped on March 1st. They also mentioned that students on this particular waitlist would hear back by May 7th (not sure how many different waitlists they have and). Good luck to everyone!

Gosh that is kinda harsh. They could have had a more neutral response. It’s like “thanks but no thanks good luck” sheesh
I sent in an update, got this response, and received a II a couple months later! So don’t put much thought into it.
Just want to respond with what I heard from a staff member after my interview.
She said the tentative date is July 11th but the white coat would be July 17th and the start July 18th.
How correct that is would be anyone’s guess!
I was only offered one date, April 10th.
I got both! The email came on a Friday and the packet the next Wednesday
Oh man, apparently they reviewed the February interviews last Thursday and I still haven’t gotten an email, so I’m slightly worried
Same! But I feel better knowing maybe no one else heard back yet!
I heard from Howard on February 22nd, and I submitted my application in July! I have a 502 MCAT, 3.75 GPA, and 3.65 Science GPA. Over 1100 clinical hours, lots of research, a lot of leadership positions in undergrad!
For those of you who have interviewed/been accepted, would you be able to post the interview questions, or let us know how the interview goes? How we should prepare, etc.

why howard? why medicine? ethics quesitons related to cheating, and why should we pick you? some ask strengths and weaknesses, hobbies, etc.
30 mins each
minimum 25 minutes, but mine were at least 40 a piece.
Anyone know if they will be sending out anymore IIs?
I think someone mentioned earlier that last year they extended II into April.
I went to the open house and some of the students that go there told us that they have blind interviews and that there are 2 interviews during the day?
This application season seems to be completely different from the previous years. It's hard to get accurate information from the authorities. I am anxiously waiting for my lucky day.
thats true
How are the interviews separated, is it 2 back to back both with faculty?
yeah it was back to back
One of the interviews is open and the other is closed file. I know this for sure because the interviewer opened my application right in front of me and asked questions. It was about 30 minutes each, both faculty. Neither was intense and both asked the expected interview questions (above) with some relevant follow ups
Hey everyone! I'm nearing my last full year at HOWARD!!! If you have any questions about Howard please let me know. Keep up the hope guys!!!
Got an II earlier this week!! Complete back in September.
Remaining interview dates:
3/27
3/28
4/3

Yes. They say theyll add it to your file. they get back to you pretty fast
Anybody interview Feb. 13 heard back yet?
I’m still waiting to hear back as well. I called them yesterday though and they told me it was spring break for the university which could be why it’s taking a while for the student post office to send the letters
