Funny story. I'm a birth doula and my client went into labor this morning. No First Friday for me is what it's looking like. We got a baby on the way!!
Same to you as well!!That’s awesome!
Also, hope people like you get in <3

I sent them an email just in case. Didn’t want it to look bad to not be in attendance.That’s awesome!

I’m not certain if it was a requirement but everyone was on camera so I decided to be on too.+1
Not sure if I'll be able to participate either. How long is it?
I sent one and they added it to my file. Can’t hurt unless they specifically say no Pre-II updates. I would only update if you have something significant to add to your profile, though.Do they accept pre-II updates? It seemed on the first Friday they were open to communication, but I didn’t get a solid answer. Anyone know?
They will see it.I took my MCAT in late September and completed my secondary early October. Do I have to send my updated score as a Pre-II update or do they automatically see this via AMCAS?
Yes!Hey yall
Sorry if this question was already answered
But if I want to send updates, do I send it to the admission email?
Thanks
Has anyone gotten rejections?
What is the importance of First Friday? Are interested applicants required to attend?I sent them an email just in case. Didn’t want it to look bad to not be in attendance.

How do you sign up for it?It shows that your interested. They take names down that attended.

Idk have you completed either of those courses? It is saying those are requirements for admission into their program. They might offer you an interview in the future, but in the case of admission, you need to make plans to complete those courses if you want to attend Howard Med starting 2021. Honestly those are basically requirements for like majority of medical schools so you should be planning to complete them anyway.
Has anyone received anything like this? Does anyone know what this means?

Just got an II, my first too this cycle so I am so relieved, does anyone know how long after an interview it takes to hear a final decision?
Congratulations! When were you complete?Just got an II, my first too this cycle so I am so relieved, does anyone know how long after an interview it takes to hear a final decision?
It depends. I've seen people hear back two days after the interview, according to what they said on this thread. I interviewed the first week of October and still haven't head back (though I got an email last week from the adcom saying my complete application will go up for review this coming Thursday... so I'm expecting to hear back this coming Friday)Just got an II, my first too this cycle so I am so relieved, does anyone know how long after an interview it takes to hear a final decision?

what’s your favorite thing so far?
How did y’all cover anatomy. Was that online? Was it prosection
Thank you
Thank you!The workload, I imagine, has not changed from previous years but the amount of time we have to study has increased. We don’t have to commute or be go in for anatomy so we save a lot of time. There are a few mandatory sessions but still plenty of time to study. Unfortunately, the solidarity and familial bonds that Howard is known for is lacking a bit due to the fact everything is online. We try to mediate but having online study groups and something close to meet and greets but it can never truly replace the interactions in person. My favorite thing is anatomy, which is the block we’re currently in. The professors are all awesome and I just enjoy learning anatomy.
I am not on that committee but I know there admissions liaisons in my class who do advocate for applicants this cycle. They advocate for more than just grades/mcat and try to stress the qualities in applicant that would make them great doctors. I’m not sure if this is new committee thoughThank you!
Do you know anything about admissions and if they are doing anything different this year while looking for applicants stats-wise?
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! 😀
Has anyone who submitted in September heard back ?

I emailed them and they told me that they do not provide status updates as it takes 4-8 weeks to completely review a file. Since it's past 8 weeks, you can try!Should I email or call admissions. I submitted Secondary late August. Nothing from them since. The website doesn’t say anything about application status
