Did anyone receive an email of confirmation after you submitted and paid for your secondary?

Yes, I did
That’s so odd, I paid last night and got the confirmation page. But no email.
Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is donating $100 million to the nation's four historically Black medical schools: Howard University's College of Medicine in Washington, the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Meharry Medical College in Nashville, and the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles. The schools said they will use the donations to create scholarships of up to $100,000 for students currently enrolled and receiving financial aid. I hope those who get to attend this school will be able to receive this awesome financial gift! 😀

Stats?
How is Howard’s average mcat and gpa so low if they seem to target really high stat applicants?
What do you mean by target? People with very high stats do tend to get more love earlier in the cycle compared to everyone else.

I don't think they specifically target really high stat applicants. Med schools tend to offer all of their early interviews to these applicants (I think it's a silly thing to do, but whatever). And then they follow suit with mid and lower stat applicants. Howard is mission driven and is likely going to interview students all the way from mid-490s to the upper 510s. And they'll accept students from all across the range. And then a large chunk of the high stat applicants will go elsewhere, for a host of reasons. Even the most desired med schools will only have about a 70ish % yield.

the average increases each year so I’m not really surprised
Make sense.

I am curious to know how the acceptance waves will happen this cycle since Howard sent secondaries out early this year, compared to previous cycles.
For the secondary questions that asked if u lived worked or want to work in medically underserved areas, how many words do you guys have for each. They seem straightforward questions.

Did anyone who went to a first Friday receive a “thank you for coming” email?
Oh snaps! How soon after did you receive the email? I attended the virtual first Friday of this month, and have not received anything yet.
I went to the August one and received a thank you email with attachments about Howard Med and a little thank you card. Maybe they’re behind [emoji2375]
Sorry meant to say that I received all of this the same day, just that evening
I went to the first first Friday from last month. They sent thank yous a couple hours after.
I attended the First Friday for this month as well and also haven't received a thank you email. I didn't even know I should be expecting one lol! I agree with the person who said they're probably behind.
Congrats!! Hope you crush it! I wasn't complete until 8/27 so I have a long wait, but I love seeing everyone get IIs!! Makes me excited to hopefully get one too 🙂
Anyone received Interview invitation from Howard COM?

what is a "first Friday?"
It’s a virtual welcome session. They talk about the school, admissions process, and you have a Q&A sesh with current students.
Thank you! How do we access this?

When submitting secondary, did anyone get an email of the receipt? Any confirmation at all saying that you submitted it?
Submitted this morning and I didn't either. It has lowkey been bothering me all day lol. I know my payment went through so maybe they will send an email eventually.
No worries, they sent my complete email the next day so you should get it tomorrow.
I received it right after my post haha

LORs, MCAT score, and everything needs to be in to be considered complete. If everything is there then you should send an email to confirm
Does this school send out rejection or just silent?
