Not sure. It either is their complete email or hold email that I received. This is what it said:
Subject: FROM HOWARD U COLLEGE OF MEDICINE-YOUR SECONDARY HAS BEEN RECEIVED/SCREENED
Body: SECONDARY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL.
Thank you for your interest in Howard University College of Medicine.
This acknowledgement email means that all of your documents have been received and a preliminary review has taken place.
We will be using the AMCAS database to further process your application. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE
APPLY.HOWARD.EDU site to see updates; you will not see them. That site is for internal office use only.
Updates will come via email so that they are logged into the AMCAS system.
Final (reject) emails will begin to be sent in March (if not earlier) and will continue through June as we release applicants.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Interviews are by invitation only and are sent via EMAIL ONLY.
Invitations will be issued between September until early April. Most interviews will be completed by the end of April.
The rest of the email stated the info about calling and putting them in your non-spam list etc.
