2020-2021 Howard

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
From the First Friday Event, the admission said they would take sub 500 but you would need a high GPA to offset the low mcat. In my case, I have a 501 mcat and trash gpa soooo I'm out of luck since I'm low on both end lol.
Whats considered high by their standards? 3.5+?
 
If they haven’t review your application by now you’ve essentially been rejected right?

I guess you could also make the argument that if they've reviewed you, and you haven't heard anything, then they just don't want to bother with you (ex. myself). It's hard to tell. We just know they interview until April.

I wish we knew if they are still sending out IIs or not. I’m in a similar position as you. I hope we find out soon. Best of luck!!!

Bro you serious? Cause that don’t make no sense.
 
I don’t know if this affecting any communication but when I emailed earlier this week I was informed that they are on “spring break” until the March 15th. I don’t know if this is affecting admissions and how often they meet during this time.
 
This is a HBCU so if he/she doesn't meet their mission then it's no surprise they get the silent treatment even with good stats.
Not necessarily I have things that meet their mission 3.5 gpa 513 MCAT and I also have heard nothing. It just happens. We have no idea why adcom does what they do
 
Man, I volunteer and work in underserved communities. Still nothing. You can meet their mission statement, have the stats, and whatever else. There is obviously a matter of other factors as well. And apparently, I don’t meet them
