I couldn't agree more with what you said, what is for you will be for you! Congrats on your II, good luck! when were you complete?First II from here yesterday! Extremely grateful! MCAT: <500, cGpa and sGPA 3.3 played basketball through undergrad and over 7,000 hours employed clinical experience. URM. This is my second cycle and I almost gave up hope but what is for you will be for you!!! Hang in there ! Much love. (Also my very first post been trolling this site for like five years lol)
I am a current MS1 here at Howard! Good luck, everyone! Let me know if you have any questions; this will be a longggggg process. Feel free to ask anything!
I wouldn't stress too much about a specific word count, just make sure that you thoroughly answer each of the questions. Adding in too much fluff to reach a word count would probably do more harm than good. I just looked back at my application and all of my responses were about half a page single-spaced except for the question about living in a medically underserved area (1 page) and the additional information box one (1.5 pages -- I had to explain my GPA trend). I would really stress that you should get that in ASAP since you're so late in the application cycle, I turned around my secondary within 48 hours of when I received mine.Hi! I am a late applicant and I have been working on the secondary for 2 weeks. The responses say to please explain/briefly describe without a word or character limit. I think I might be overthinking it, but how long would suggest my responses be?
I sent an update to the main hucmadmissions email a few weeks back and they replied that they would add it to my file.which email will actually get a response tho?
Hmm, I sent one a few weeks ago and got no response...I sent an update to the main hucmadmissions email a few weeks back and they replied that they would add it to my file.

I am doing it right now as we speak at work. I'll have it submitted today because I need to be at a school dedicated to minority physicians and community outreach.I wouldn't stress too much about a specific word count, just make sure that you thoroughly answer each of the questions.

Hey guys! I am currently in my first year here at Howard. If you need any help or need to ask any question, don't hesitate to ask. To those who have been accepted, make sure you guys start working on the health requirement ASAP because you don't want to be scrambling at the last minute trying to complete them before orientation. To those waiting for interviews, secondaries, etc., the application process is a glorified waiting game so hang in there and try to enjoy the holiday season.
Haha yeah Dr. Leffall is still working in the hospital. However, I have yet to see him. Also, D.C. is D.C. I love living here with the only downfalls of traffic and how expensive it is to live hereHow is DC?
Is Dr. Leffall still at Howard?
ou have any tips for the interview, how to prepare, what kind of questions to expect ectHey guys! I am currently in my first year here at Howard.

For the interview, I would suggest definitely reading over the mission statement and the history of HUCM. It helped me give sincere answers on why I wanted to attend Howard. Lastly, try power posing to build your confidence (I got this grey's anatomy), be yourself not someone you think they want you to be, enjoy the interview day and don't be afraid to ask questionsou have any tips for the interview, how to prepare, what kind of questions to expect ect
congrats! did you send them any updates or call to check your status?II yesterday! Complete email received 08/25. LizzyM Score: 60.50. Ivy League grad from the West Coast
Thank you! Nope, did neither of those things.congrats! did you send them any updates or call to check your status?
hey Thanks for opening yourself up. How well do you think Howard equips you for residencies nationwide? I mean i Know you are still a M1, but how do you feel about the quality of the education that you receive? Are there enough role models that encourage you? Is the environment nurturing? Do you feel like you are provided with the necessary tools to succeed?Hey guys! I am currently in my first year here at Howard.

Congrats on the interview!! Do you mind sharing your stats and when you were complete please?Hey guys got my interview on the 12th, will be my first one anyone got any advice would love to hear it
Nope :/ I was complete early October. Still waiting patientlyAnyone was complete late receive II yet?
what are your stats if you don't mind me asking?I was complete mid September and still nothing.
My stats are actually quite similar to yours. 3.1ugpa and 3.8ggpa mcat 499. Hopefully we both hear soon.what are your stats if you don't mind me asking?
Like you said, I am only a first semester M1 so I can't really speak on how prepared I am for residencies. However, the quality of education is very strong as the professors are very knowledgeable and respected in their given fields (especially anatomy!). The professors are very open to students coming by their office to discuss any information. For example, I went to a professor office before my last exam, and the professor gave me a 2 hour review on everything covered in lecture. Granted you may not get this same extent of support from every professor, but every professor is here to make sure you get the information needed.hey Thanks for opening yourself up.

Glad to finally correspond with you all, anybody else got an interview on the 10th?
Yes, everyone's application says that. 😛I think I might just be a little anxious but on my app it says, "Interview not yet scheduled". Is that how it is for everyone?

I have been complete since July and I have emailed with an update and status question. The response I received to my application status question was just the timeline for admissions that can be found on the website. Hope that helps!Has anyone called to check status of application? If so, what did they say? Did they take the call well? Were they nice? Did they actually give you an update? 🙂
