2024-2025 Howard

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
AA thank you 🙂 I really resonated with school, but when I attended the First Friday session it turned out they had like 4-5 international students as MS1s ...
Yes!! I noticed that too when I attended, it’s not impossible and fingers crossed you will get in. And if you don’t it’s only up from here! Keep your head up, the right med school will accept you fully and will be proud to have you as one of their students! Lets hope Howard can send out those IIs soon following match week prep!
 
OMG i literally forgot it was today bc i got swamped in work ;(
 
OMG AHHH i’m so proud of the II today🥹 i see a lot of familiar names who finally got their IIs, many congratulations to yall and best of luck🩷
 
I also am wondering is today the last day they’re sending II? Or is it going to be thru the week?
 
I don’t remember if they specified. All Miss Williams Fowlkes said was the last batch of II will be going out next week. I don’t know if she meant all at once or in small batches through the week? But she made it sound like this was the final week… so if I don’t get anything by Saturday I’ll just be expecting my R at that point.
 
Do they usually send IIs in the evening? (so I can check my email?)
I saw once that someone had got one around 2AM but I would say get that rest lol (unless you're staying up all night like me)
 
Interview is coming up, can anyone who interviewed already share some questions asked/what it was like?
genuinely super chill! it was very conversational. i would refer to the howard sdn site for common questions but they’re usually just the typical ones.

Did you receive a confirmation email after you responded back with your preferred interview date ?
 
no you're fine, it was like 1-2 days after i sent my preferred date
 
Did you receive a confirmation email after you responded to the Invite with your preferred date for the interview?
Nope, I replied with my preference pretty much immediately and I followed up but haven’t heard back yet. From other replies seems like it’s fine though (hopefully lol)
 
Does Howard give out merit scholarships?
I believe they give out full tuition scholarships to the two students in the incoming class with the highest MCAT scores and half-tuition to students with the 3rd-10th highest MCAT scores. And i think after M1 year there is a similar criteria for top 10 students but now based on your grades/performance in med school.
There are other several small scholarships you can either get based on performance (e.g. $500 for being the person who had the highest grade in a a particular unit like Structure and Function or Molecules and Cells) as well as HUMAA schlolarships you can apply for that they give to several students each spring semester. The HUMAA scholarships aren't necessarily based on ranking or high performance, but you usually need to at least be in good standing to qualify for them.
 
Hey guys, I just applied to Howard med this year and got waitlisted. Was wondering what the chances are of admission for someone in my position at the school.

At my interview, they said to consider a waitlist an acceptance because a lot of people get off the waitlist. For anyone wondering they also said they technically had to fill their entire class (130 people I believe) on 3/1 but they expect a lot spots to open up come April as people w/ multiple acceptances commit to other schools.
