For the guys that already interviewed, what was the interview like?

It's honestly a regular conversation with "standard" medical school interview questions. It's very relaxed. If you know how to hold a conversation and clearly articulate your thoughts, you'll be fine.

Do you think the interview feedback on SDN was useful in any way

How do I pay the $75. My AAMC fee assistance was applied and I couldn't pay the fee after submitting my secondary app

1.5 months after I finished my secondaries AMCAS has sent me a reminder that I forgot to send my letters to Howard lmao 🙃

Oh no, is it too late to send?

 

[MDPow]

Does Howard call people for decisions or do they send emails

 

[ilovebreadsticks]

For II, I got an email. Not sure about acceptances…

 

[Getting there]

Does anyone know if Howard sent any other II's since the 9/21 batch? And those of you who got the II in that batch, when are you guys interviewing?

Idk about other IIs sent, but I received mine from 9/21 batch. I'm interviewing 10/25.

The other options I think were the 11th and 12th, but those spots seemed to have filled up first so I was assigned the later date

Is Howard first Friday a waste of time??

 

[wavyboys21]

If you’ve been already

 

[SnailPo]

Is Howard first Friday a waste of time??

To me, it wasn’t. They went over some good information about their admissions process, their curriculum and boards, and different ways to get involved at the school. There are also current students that attend and answer questions during a Q&A at the end.

 

[wavyboys21]

Ok!! Thanks I really just wanted to know when they send II and how frequent. I already know about the school,etc…

Same, I kinda wanna call them and ask but I’m scared to sound desperate

 

[wavyboys21]

^ Same hahaaaaa

 

[wavyboys21]

I was going to be like " My email and spam folder has not been working well, and I wanted to know if there was an II sent out to me". Hahhaaaaa

 

[KoolGirlKaye123]

Usually I tell folks to not reach out about their application status because it can annoy adcoms. But...in this case, I think you might want to after a while. I've heard that some apps get lost... that's all I'm going to say.

 

[kenny23]

it will also show up in the portal guys if you get an II. no need to stress y’all

portal?

[deleted833891]

Yeah there’s definitely no portal lol. Just the aamc application service.

Laughed out loud at this love it

 

[deleted833891]

the ‘applicant gateway’ is where you sign up for your interview slot. other schools use the same gateway

Lol that’s not true at all. You sign up via the email they send you. Are you trolling ?

Any updates you all can share from the first Friday session?

Mrs William-Fowlkes just wrote that they’ve invited 100 students so far

 

[wavyboys21]

Ohhhh my lord

 

[wavyboys21]

Given the fact they only invite 380 in total. My heart I can’t take it. Has anyone who got the app reviewed email on August 27th and above received an II?

She said they plan to interview “about 400 students” this cycle. Also they shared from last cycle that they offered 446 II’s and 394 people attended the interviews.

I haven’t received app reviewed email yet. Secondary submitted about a month ago.

 

[ilovebreadsticks]

Heres exactly what was said responding to someones question in the chat:: “We don't have a specific schedule in when we send out invites. We are trying to get through the 5000+ applications that we have received, and honestly it is the luck of the draw. Every student has a unique and different story and journey to medical school, so there is not methodology that I can share. We plan to interview about 400 students this cycle and we have only invited 100 students so far so we still have a lot more interviews to extend at this time.”

There’s still hope everyone lets keep our heads up 🙂

Although I’m glad to hear that Howard has ~70% more IIs to send out, I’m just sooo exhausted especially as a reapp. I can’t imagine myself playing this waiting game until next year, but here we gooooooo. We got this everyone!

 

[Future_Med22]

Does anyone know how many spots Howard has for matriculating students? MSAR says about 120. Has that number increased because it looks like the number of interview invites has.

In the same exact situation as you. Its emotionally draining, but nonetheless I’m working on improving my app for next year in the event it comes to that. Hopefully it doesn’t!

[wavyboys21]

It’s 123 +7 returning students return=130 students

I got the app reviewed email on August 26th, and it’s been silence from them ever since.

Where did you find out that only 380 II total?

Did you mean acceptances ?
