Do you think it’s worth sending an email about it?
Click to expand...
No, because the email is an acknowledgment that all your materials have been received and are under review. You do not have an MCAT yet so your file is not considered complete nor will it be reviewed until then.
 
For the Howard optional "Please provide below any additional information", I was wondering if its ok to talk about anything outside the examples they gave (additional coursework, problems with academic record; disadvantaged). If I don't have anything to talk about regarding the topic of the examples they gave should I just leave it blank? Thanks!
 
For anyone who took the both SAT/ACT, are you submitting both scores/all your scores? and if you took the ACT, did you have to call them to get into your account again? i took these tests 7 years ago lol

I was able to get into my ACT account by chance that I remembered my information, but I couldn't get my SAT scores. I read that if you call and pay to get your SAT scores, they'll send them so I opted not to do that. You ACT scores should still be on file if you can somehow remember your account info, or possibly call
 
I was wondering if a head shot I got for athletics would be appropriate for the picture they wanted. It was taken by a professional this year and I was in my team's warmups but I am not sure if that would be frowned upon. I do not have a suit with me so I was wondering if I was going to have to get one and have a friend take a picture of me in it.

You should be in a suit or at least business casual.
 
Hey peeps!

Howard re-applicant here. Just received my new MCAT score today but I have a Casper test retake scheduled for September 9th.

Will my application be placed on hold until the admissions get a hold of my Casper test?
 
does anyone understand the "Pre-requisite Coursework" grid when it says, "Science: If your lecture/lab are combined courses, please type "combined" along with credit hours. For instance, "4.0(combined)". Then, you do not have to enter a lab course."? like the grid doesn't give you an option to type anything in it right? just to select your courses from AMCAS?

thanks! so what's the deal with the "type combined" instruction? there's no way to make modifications, and my class doesn't have the "with lab" in the name because that's not how it's listed on my transcript, so how else could I tell them it's with a lab?

I think they can tell by the credit hours. Lectures tend to be 3 credit hours and labs 1 hour so if they see 4 credit hours and that you didn’t list a lab they will usually assume that this is a combined lec/lab

Thank you so much! Best of luck 🙂
 
just as a heads up in case they might help anyone else, my SAT/ACT scores were also reported on my university's unofficial transcript in case you have any trouble finding yours via College Board or the ACT website

Not even gonna lie, I took my ACT 11 years ago so the score I put was my best possible guess from memory. Let's hope I guessed right haha

I just received a "secondary received/application complete" email, so maybe follow up with them to see what they might be inquiring about your pre reqs?

Do you happen to know people who got a II last week? Do you know when they were complete?
 
Gentle_Scientist said:
Oh wow, I wouldn't expected somebody would have posted on here lol...there's usually always at least 1 person.

I was surprised too because I called the office regarding a confusing email they sent me about requirements, but after that I asked the ETA for invites to roll out and the lady told me they already been sending them out since last week. Shocking to see no one get one until today!
 
I see another II for Howard on the invite tracker. Applicant was complete 7/23 and got one today as well.
 
my primary just went final today....received secondary invite, which I will turn in tomorrow. Hopefully, I can get an II since I got one last year.
 
should I have selected my graduate courses that filled the prereqs, I just chose my undergrad courses 🙁
