Members don't see this ad.

I'm thinking we should be getting a second wave soon, as they try to schedule them 3-4 weeks before the interview date. Fingers crossed for good news!!!

Hang in there y'all! This year has been rough for everyone, hopefully by the end of 2020 we can all rejoice in knowing we have an A from somewhere and this year wasn't a total bust!

I received it sometime around 1am today! If you register closer to the date I think it's just takes a bit for them to send you the link.

I was complete on 8/21!

 

[sunkissedmelanin]

Congratulations

Thank you!

 

[sunkissedmelanin]

URM, 510, 3.6cGPA, 3.4sGPA, interesting ECs! I'm also from the area and I have some experience with vulnerable communities in D.C.

 

[patchadams2]

Good morning everyone! Is there a way to check our application status? Or are we just waiting for any email from the school?
When I sent an update letter, I got an email saying that it has been uploaded onto my AMCAS app. I logged into my AMCAS but could not figure out what they meant by "uploaded onto my AMCAS application" :\

That just means they added it to your local file. Once you submit everything it’s just a waiting game.

Does anyone know if applicants with an mcat score of 494 or below 500 have received an interview at this school ?

for this cycle, not yet. Higher stat applicants tend to have more love in the beginning.
however, the past 1-2 years I saw a 497 and 499 get admitted, via SDN

Completed 08/19/2020

 

[elrm257]

I was complete 8/6 but I never got the reviewed email. Anyone else?

 

[MD.Loading]

So, I received some oddly generic but mildly specific invite to complete something but I'm not sure if it was the secondary. It did have some Howard specific questions but it was sent in an email that was identical to the email I received from several other schools where I used the gateway to complete it. Was this the secondary? I never received any confirmation of completion either.

If what you did was on AAMC, then yes, it was the secondary. A few schools use the same system for their secondary. You paid a fee ($75 if I remember correctly)?

Yep that's it. Ok thanks!

 

[StressedBiClown]

Yep that's it. Ok thanks!

No problem! They sent me the secondary request on 9/25, I submitted it to them on 10/4, and they sent me an email the same day to confirm they received it and have everything else they need. ("This acknowledgement email means that all of your current documents have been received and your file is currently under full review. This could take 4-8 weeks for a full review.")

Hope that helps, too!

Do they need your CASPer result before they can send out an Interview invite

 

[lordexcellence28]

No they don’t actually. I asked admissions maybe 3 times just to be on the safe side
