So no one has received an II or pré-I rejection this week?

Many pre-R went out this week. Some of my friends and people posted above about receiving Rs

If its anything similar to my review email then I would think I'll get mine tomorrow at 9pm

I only saw two on here and one II that’s why I asked. It’s been oddly quiet

I think the tidal wave of rejections are coming in next week.

What about iI? Are they done giving those out?

I'm not too sure if they follow the same schedule as last cycle but if they are then April 8th is their last interview date. So I would assume all II has been sent out since they send it out 3 weeks prior to the interview date.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I received a last minute II from another institution three/four days before the last interview of the season. This cycle is just so strange that no news may really be good news. At this point I’m solid, but fingers are still crossed for Howard.

[aduuubacsi]

Skimming through the past application cycle it seem like a lot of rejections are going out at the end of April.

if you know you aren’t inviting certain applicants for an interview, why not just tell them that now!? So they can plan accordingly about what their next steps will be. Ugh. So frustrating.

 

[bm5498a]

What I’m confused about it “late September through late April” part. Someone said the last interview was 4/07 but isn’t late April...well late April?

That's what I thought too but maybe they are planning to extend more interviews

It’s the way I’m bout to pray for me....

Speaking of praying. I don't really have a religion or believe in a higher being but found myself to start praying to all type of gods lol

I say plan anyway and if Howard falls through, good. If not then you aren’t losing anything.

 

[Chels1017]

Yea imo, based on people I’ve talked to there, Carib schools just seem like a huge money grab. Medical schools being for-profit is a huge red flag

Definitely a money grab and they market black and brown people the same way Strayer, ITT, Capella and a bunch of other people who have put people in unnecessary debt

 

[aduuubacsi]

Any II lately?

 

[Bluespikes819]

Definitely a money grab and they market black and brown people the same way Strayer, ITT, Capella and a bunch of other people who have put people in unnecessary debt

And aamc isnt? How many people apply and how many actually get in? How many times do students take the mcattt? Only a small percentage actually qualify for FAP. Americans really like to think theirs is so perfect (I’m American btw). Anyway this conversation has been over.

 

[futuretrashwoman]

If we get Rs today, I ain't believing them until tomorrow's "That was a real R" email..."

True that. Side note: no idea how medical schools got corrected to Easter baskets. Maybe I need more sleep lol

 

[BadHombre]

Oh it’s sdn doing that what the heck haha

 

[bm5498a]

No recent IIs?? Was holding out on hope but it was confirmed that they are wrapping up interview season

Same...same

 

[Medicine_at_Heart]

I really wanted to attend Howard Med, but I have decided to close the chapter. Accepted to my state school, so I know that regardless, I’m going to be an awesome doc and things will fall into place as they should. Good luck to the rest of you! Asè...

You’re gonna crush it. Getting an A anywhere is a huge accomplishment and I hope you’re proud of yourself

And they still want to hold people's hope up until may or June?

 

[Andrew_Pal]

Any news?

According to previous poster, Howard already finish interviewing this cycle so we're just waiting for pre ii R.

No their last interview dates are this week. But according to someone who emailed them, they extended interviews until late April

Oh really? Even then my chance of nabbing an II at this is 0 to none lol

 

[futuredrmissy]

Anyone know about how many students are on the waitlist?

Glad I didn’t see this foolishness. 😂 I specifically said in earlier post that Caribbean schools are American owned but yea, this been over. 😂

 

[jacksteel777]

Exactly I’ve taken it 3x and tried many studying tactics even taken a course but as an URM I understand I need more time as growing up in underserved community didn’t give me the resources to be good at standardized exams. A three month prep course or masters degree won’t undo the years of damage. I didn’t have a hot SAT but I still did great in undergrad and graduate school so I don’t need multiple school rejecting me because of the MCAT. I know I’m more than capable in excelling as a physician. I’m no wasting more years trying to retake the mcat. That’s time I can use in preparing for the step exams.

I recommend you look into Drexel University's Pathway to Medical School. It is made specifically for people in your shoes. Best of luck to you!

 

[bisonboy]

Conditional A (with successful completion of PARP)! Got the email 30 min ago

Thanks to everyone for their positive vibes and encouragement 🙂

Yet you’re still responding. You must really have time. Okay it’s American owned doesn’t mean there isn’t an implicit bias because it’s in the Caribbean.

I got waitlisted last cycle. I’m moving on. Thanks for your input.

Accepted students is it required to commit to enroll by April 30?

Do we have to add it to cyms tool? How about if we are on the waitlist of other schools?

 

[saipraram]

To my knowledge, you don't have to commit to enroll until the specific deadline that the school has for committing (IDK what that is for Howard). You DO have to plan to enroll by April 30th.
