Any info on when they'll start extending interview invites?It was good. Pretty chill and informative. You get to ask questions out loud or through zoom chat

when you register they ask that you turn your video on, but it went pretty long and i noticed some people turned their's off. This session was about 3.5 hours but people left before then, they acknowledged that some of the parts went longer than anticipated. they also mention that they only have 4 people reviewing applications so the turn around time for app review might not be super quick.was it mandatory to show your video?
Thanks!I got my email saying they received my secondary and prerequisite courses. Interview invites beginning late August!
How did you all find out about this open house? Wish I knew beforehand so I could have attended :/

i didn't learn about it through a secondary email, i emailed them about CASPER and the person who responded included information about it in her response to me. but yeah they hold them every month!they have the link on their admission page. It’s every first Friday of the month
YesIs anyone else's application on hold for MCAT scores, even though your scores are already in?
how are people going about finding their old SAT/ACT scores? also, do you think being a Residential Advisor (or Residential Assistant) over residents/students counts as employment?
Interview Invite!
Omg congrats!!!Interview Invite!
Excited for you !
When is it and how long ago did you submit 2aries
Sorry, guys! Wrong thread for the wrong school.

EDIT: I got so excited, I forgot I had multiple tabs open for different schools. At least you guys are taking my mistake well. 😀 Excitement will do that to you. I wish you all the best of luck!
I used collegeboard for SAT scores. Not sure about ACT (didn’t take it)
I did not get a receipt.those who submitted secondary, did you get a receipt of payment after? most schools using gateway automatically send receipt but I haven't gotten anything for HU.
also, how long between secondary submission and complete email?
I did not get a receipt.
Secondary "invite" 07/23, email that it was completed/received 07/31, email that it has been reviewed 08/11
I don't remember what day I submitted it though
what did the "reviewed" email say? I have the same submission and complete email dates as you do but I did not receive a review email...those who submitted secondary, did you get a receipt of payment after? most schools using gateway automatically send receipt but I haven't gotten anything for HU.

So the complete/received email started with "This acknowledgement email means that all of your current documents have been received and your file is currently under full review" - 07/31what did the "reviewed" email say? I have the same submission and complete email dates as you do but I did not receive a review email...
You should be able to login into College Board, click 'My SAT', and just see the scores. You only need to pay if you are sending scores to schools which Howard does not require.how did you get it? SAT is requesting payment and sat registration number that I don’t have from 6 years ago
Ok...being the old guy here...how do you put your stats as your signature??
Anybody else get an email saying that your application was has been reviewed and theb info about coursework, keeping spam-blockers low in case you do get an interview, and other stuff. I feel teased lol
If they only wanted to know about childhood, I think they most likely would have said that. If those 6 months living in an economically disadvantaged area were meaningful, I'd say talk about it.Quick question about: "Have you lived in communities which are medically underserved, or where the majority of the population is economically and/or educationally disadvantaged?"
I grew up in an affluent area but when I moved to attend my post-bacc program I lived in economically disadvantaged area. I lived there for 6 months (because COVID forced me to return home). Is it okay to talk about living there for 6 months or no? I don't know if this question is specifically asking about my childhood or not?
How do I submit Mcat scores to Howard. I received an email saying my app is on hold for Mcat scores.
Okay I will. Thank you for respondingSend them an email saying you already wrote it and have a score? Must be an error cuz it should transfer automatically. Especially cuz Howard is one of the few schools that directly uses the AMCAS system for their secondary.

I have no pending pre-reqs, so I wouldn't worry about that. I think it's most likely just broad information so people will be informed shojld they be accepted.I got this email today and I have a few pending pre-reqs, I'm not sure if I understood the email correctly but it said that I have to complete the prereqs for interview eligibility. But during first friday, I thought they mentioned you have until matriculation to complete prereqs, meaning you can be interviewed/accepted before completing prereqs... aren't other schools like this as well?
does their portal allow you to put future pre-reqs? Maybe that's what they meant if you didn't list them on there. That's just a guessI got this email today and I have a few pending pre-reqs, I'm not sure if I understood the email correctly but it said that I have to complete the prereqs for interview eligibility.

my email included the specific courses that I have yet to take, so i think it is individualized.I have no pending pre-reqs, so I wouldn't worry about that. I think it's most likely just broad information so people will be informed shojld they be accepted.
yeah, i included the future pre-reqs on the portal. I guess I will email them to clarify. I sincerely hope they won't wait to interview me until the end of spring semester lol.does their portal allow you to put future pre-reqs?

Ah, you know now that I look at it again, they do say that I don't have any pending classes.my email included the specific courses that I have yet to take, so i think it is individualized.

Did anyone receive an email saying that their secondary was received?
I submitted mine last week with pending mcat on sept 12. Still haven’t gotten any email regarding receiving the email or the payment
Do you think it’s worth sending an email about it?I got an application complete email a day after submitting. already had a MCAT tho. May be why you have not received such an email.
How helpful did people find the first Fridays?
