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 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.
 
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.

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.
