Should I just rule Howard out of I haven’t heard anything by now?

 

[wysdoc]

Should I just rule Howard out of I haven’t heard anything by now?

no, because they are still inviting for interviews

 

[marie909]

no, because they are still inviting for interviews

It feels like one batch of IIs every two month 😭

I would recommend giving up hope. That way, if you do get an II, it'll be a super fun surprise!

I have other schools I need to make deposits for…they can’t just have me waiting here like this

I feel that pain. But it's better to put down the deposit and be a med student next year and not a reapplicant!

 

[Nzk98340]

Yes! I know someone with a 498 who got accepted this cycle

was this person an instate applicant?

 

[Nzk98340]

There's a thread about the Second Look visits on the GroupMe chat for accepted students, might be worth sending a message there as well if you haven't joined yet. Join the Howard University College of Medicine-Class of 2028 group on Facebook and then scroll down to the post about the GroupMe and join the chat.

I sent them an update letter via email last week but they haven't confirmed that they received it - how long does it take them to get back to you?

I sent an update letter at the end of November and they replied the next day via email acknowledging receipt. Maybe that was a less busy time for the admissions office though.

 

[marie909]

Alright yall- does Howard love us? Today is the day to prove it (begging for a II)

I also sent them a letter about 2 weeks ago and they never replied

 

[Rose1296]

Has anyone been able to reach them by phone? I’ve been getting voicemail and their mailbox is full 😭😭😫😫

 

[chocdoc2028]

No interviews?

i still haven't received any feedback from them either

 

[soontobemed_]

at open house they said they’re not taking calls due to the high volume of calls they’ve been receiving and that they’re slightly behind bc of the winter storm plus the new years holiday they had off. Best way to be reached is through email
