Hi!!
Anyone accepted with a <500 mcat yet?
Thanks!
 
I see the interviews last 9:30-11:30. are we interviewed by once, or by two people. is it one-on-one interview?
There are 2 one-on-one interviews with faculty members, they each last around 45 minutes

Does Howard accept updates like resume? if yes, how do you send it?
not sure but my buddy last app cycle sent a letter of intent following her II. I generally heard that (as a rule of thumb) don't bug any US MD until you've interviewed, there's an update selection/upload in the secondary, or you think something went wrong.
idr if there's a update prompt in the secondary
 
Sucks because I really do like Howard. Was complete around Sept 20th so I guess the skipped over me and since they don't send rejection till the end, don't wanna get my hopes up

It's not the end of the cycle yet, and every II isn't sent in chronological order. There's still hope.
 
I’m simply King T’challa trying to get an II to Wakanda. Any recent II or findings of Vibranium?

I am sorry to ask this, I have read over the thread but I am still confused. Ultimately is the Casper required for application complete? Thank you
 
I interviewed on 10/24/2018 and was ACCEPTED 10/29/2018. Super quick turn around. Thank you Jesus!!!!
I was so worried about the lack of schools I’m hearing back from. URM AA female 3.8 504 but 120 in CARs. out of 25 schools I only heard back from 3. I’m so glad for the acceptance!

Interview was informative, insightful, and engaging. Be sure to remain relaxed and friendly; the staff/faculty can smell nervousness a mile away. Just remember, if you're interviewing here, they most likely want to accept you. Just give them a gentle and confident nudge in the right direction. Good luck and posi vibes

Did you write the updates in the actual email or sent a Word document with details?

They are receptive towards either so I typed mine in the email. I’m sure a word document is fine too.
