Members do not see this ad.

Nothing yet. Still hopeful tho.

@ADA_MD_ You should definitely update them. At the most recent first friday they said they were open to grade updates.

Thank you for telling me that!

Hey! Congrats! What did your email say when you were complete?

 

[cj1143]

Anyone have any luck after sending in an update? Just sent in one and got a response back that theyre putting it in my secondary file.

 

[Poloman4]

Hey! Congrats! What did your email say when you were complete?

after submitting the secondary they basically said that they acknowledged that all of my documents have been received and preliminary review has taken place. Then I waited for like 4 months to actually get an interview lol. hope that helps

Does anyone know if Jan IIs have been sent out yet?

I sent in an update to the hucm email Monday and got an automatic message saying they were on break until January so I’d guess no IIs have been sent yet.

 

[ak6zu]

for everyone applying and accepted, I have a quick question. What is the minimum science and cum gpa you think is needed for howard? I am just trying to see if its even worth it to apply? Thanks so so much!

According to MSAR, the 10th percentile of accepted applicants had a 2.98 cumulative and a 2.84 science. There's no harm in applying! Good luck!

Last year per SDN people received an “interim” email during this time. Has anyone received that?!?! I feel like Howard hasnt sent out anything recently 🙁

Is HU open to EC updates by e-mail?

 

[strugglingpremed123]

Is HU open to EC updates by e-mail?

I’m not exactly sure but I did send one in on Saturday. Might as well try since they’re taking a while on II

 

[Marsay]

Is there anyone here a re-applicant? If you don't get in this time will you take the mcat again or change anything about your app?

 

[cj1143]

Is HU open to EC updates by e-mail?

I'm pretty sure they are, I sent one in and i got a reply that it was put in my file

 

[hiya1235]

accepted!! was out of town so i just got the letter but it was stamped on december 15!!

 

[DAISY3]

I haven't heard anything from them since my secondary app

Same here, hoping they will send me an II in the next couple of weeks!

 

[UmbcPremed]

That's too general a question. depends on each individual and what they assess to be the reason why they didn't get in.

 

[UmbcPremed]

Same here, hoping they will send me an II in the next couple of weeks!

when were you complete? I received the preliminary review email on 10/14/17

I didn't know we had a portal. What's the link?

Has anyone receiving the preliminary review in November gotten an interview?

Mine hasn't been working for a week or so, the page won't even load

 

[Marsay]

I never check it, I didn't think it would provide any info. Have you noticed any updates on it?

 

[PedsDoc4Life]

No, not really. I just check the portals of all the schools I applied to every weekday and I noticed that Howard's hasn't been loading this week.
