2023-2024 Howard

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
is First Friday on Feb. 2nd or 9th? The link has the date for next Friday, so I’m not sure if it’s a mistake or what.
 
for people who have interviewed, the email says that there are two rounds of interviews but online says there’s one, can someone give some insight into the interview day?

do we know how much of the class is filled
In my info session they say that most of their class when the year starts is comprised of mainly WL kids. So they didn't tell us how many spots are left, but if you get a waitlist they said that it is practically an acceptance and they are just waiting for a spot to open up for you. They mentioned that last year only two kids did not get off the waitlist by the beginning of orientation.

Is it true that they interview almost everyone who meets their requirements?
 
How many seats do they fill each year?
During their open house they shared the following stats for last year's class:
8599 applications received
8466 applications verified
5454 secondaries
386 interviews
316 acceptances
129 seats filled for 2027 class.
Let's hang in there everyone, hopefully there is more movement in February and March. 💜

Thank you for this. A little encouraging. Hopefully, there are many more interviews. Seems like Howard still has movement late in the season from reading the last two years threads.

Yes, from other people accepting offers at different schools, many factors for the discrepancy!
 
It’s been 10 days since I was told by admissions to call back about the update letters. I just called twice and got a message saying “Sorry this mailbox is full” Howard don’t do us dirty on the first day of BHM 🥲
Same no confirmation of my letter
 
Application reviewed 11/10 and silent since you guys think I should submit a letter of interest??

If so any recommendations for sites that have examples? Thanks

I got the app reviewed email on the same day and just sent a update/letter of interest on 1/31. I used Shemassian and Crackingmedadmissions for help.
 
WL today.

They told us during our interview day that all seats have been filled (people holding acceptances) so acceptances moving forward will be in the form of a waitlist. For what it’s worth, the admissions team emphasized that a WL is essentially an acceptance until seats free up when people have to whittle their list of acceptances they’re holding down.
damnnn wthhh
 
So they are still scheduling interviews but potential accepted applicants will be outright waitlisted?
 
anything you think you would have done differently in the interview?
TBH, I feel like I tend to be pretty good at interviews but on this one I just didn’t do as well. So yeah lol, but nothing specific. It was a pretty chill interview process though so don’t stress about it going in.

If it’s any consolation, They said that last year that pretty much everyone got off the waitlist by the end of the cycle. Though they did emphasize that with the new court ruling on admissions, that they don’t know how much it will affect the amount of people who choose to go elsewhere
 
so what’s the point of inviting interviewees?… this is discouraging information going into my interview this week
There will be lots of offers from the wait list starting in April when AMCAS applicants have to let go of multiple spots they are holding.
Go and make a great impression at your interview 🌝
