2024-2025 Howard

Members don't see this ad.

I submitted my secondary in Dec, interviewed in Feb, and got waitlisted last week.

Just posting this for people who may have been in my shoes and thought there was no way this could be their cycle. I'm not yet in, but I am halfway there. Still in purgatory, but maybe paradise is possible? If not, I feel good because I know timing is everything with this application, and I blew timing pretty badly. So, I'll try to be early in the next cycle if that is my fate.

I also have outstanding coursework, so there's that.

Praying that we will all get in. God bless you all.

if there’s an accepted groupme, how many people are currently in it?

there are 100 people on the accepted students Facebook page and half of that amount in the group me.

in your opinion, would you say that the facebook page includes some faculty and the groupme is strictly students?

 

[kingbryce123]

facebook is mostly students as well as the Group me. There are a few members in the facebook that are either current medical school students and administrators but not many.

okay thanks! trying to gauge about how full the incoming class may be, though I know some may be holding multiple acceptances

I didn’t get into the Facebook yet. Also, can you send the GroupMe?

They send you a link once you pay your good faith deposit. If you have done this already and sent them confirmation then check the email they should have sent you back indicating what your next steps should be!

Has anyone had luck with calling admissions? I can't get through and they're not accepting voicemails.

I haven't had a chance to speak to them on the phone; voicemails are full too : (

does an interview at this point in time mean that you are most likely going to end up on the waitlist?

Yes

 

[psalm46.5]

Yes

They said this during first friday or an email?

 

[purplegirl500]

They did not say that. I was at the last first Friday. They will still be conducting interviews till early/mid April. They said they are not even finish reviewing applications and updates

i don’t think they meant any harm, just that a lot of info given by anonymous persons can’t be taken with 100% certainty. esp with the cycle coming to an end soon people are anxiously waiting to know something. if that’s what you heard then thanks for sharing but other than that nothing was said during the First Friday meeting that alluded to that.

Thank you. I didn’t have the background info to that answer other than saying it is filled with no other context clues

Context was OPs question that I answered.

I get that. It’s alright to be anxious and if Howard admin isn’t being transparent about this stuff or being selectively transparent that’s a problem imo.

True

damn there goes my howard dreams lol

 

[kingbryce123]

When she said the class is full she means that, as of right now they received around 130 deposits from accepted students. When people say they are not going to Howard or going to other schools space opens up for other students. Waitlisted students are accepted students, but do not have the space at the moment.

 

[rosieroses1423]

It's not over til it's over! I also am anxious w results and interviews rn, but with the amount of students who will commit to other schools come May (with the choose one med school tool), positions will open! Interviews are conducted until mid to late April so don't lose hope!

That is precisely what I wanted to say. Yes, the class might be full now, and accepted students may have paid their deposits, but spaces open up later in the cycle when students begin to withdraw their acceptances and commit to enrolling at only one school.

 

[jscales2020]

Should I expect an R soon? I applied to Howard all the way back in June and haven't heard a single thing since my secondary.

 

[Everyvoice777]

If you received an “application reviewed” confirmation, how long did it take to hear back anything? Or has anyone received that and not heard anything back?

I heard back on 12/17 and so far nothing.

Received mine on 1/2 and still nothing.

 

[Calypsoo]

Received mine on 1/2 and still nothing.

I'm Canadian, but I'll add on to this 9/23 got reviewed and nothing yet.

I sent an update in December and they confirmed last month that they received it.

 

[deleted1205944]

Just placed on the alternate list! Interviewed 2/5! 🤍

 

[meeel5]

I submitted an update letter on Jan. 6 but no response of any kind or an II.

Just received acknowledgment of my update letter from last month.

 

[pi-astronaut]

+1 IS WL (alternate list) 2/21 via email. Literally got the email in the middle of the campus tour at second look, which I think was kind of messed up 😭. Interviewed 2/4. Complete 9/9. LM 74.

 

[Overthinkerclub]

Can someone please reshare the email to send app updates to? I can't seem to find it.

Does anyone (who went to the second look) know what they plan to do with the Bloomberg money? Did they mention anything? Another school gave me a great scholarship and I want to accept but I’m still holding on hope Howard will distribute it like Morehouse did.
