I'm a current student. I'm willing to answer any questions I can :).
Do current students know what the $175M donation will be used for? Any news in the air?

There was a Town Hall about it but I missed it. I think it's going to be used for scholarships though.

EDIT: Refer to P.B Anne Jays post below

I'm an M2 who attend the town hall the Dean hosted after the donation. The money is going towards the school's endowment. It's like an investment, so they can't use the money directly. They can only spend the interest that will accrue on it yearly. The dean said she will fill us in when they get more information from Bloomberg Philanthropies on what stipulations they have for the use of the money.

When did you guys receive the "Application reviewed" email? Those of you that have interviews?
 
Ok same. I was hopeful because of that. Haven't gotten the R either. No news is good news lol
 
Does anyone know there is an expiration date on Letters of Recommendation (LoRs) for Howard? One of my science profressor LoRs is from 2020, and unfortunately, I cannot get a hold of him to update the date on the letter :( I would really appreciate any advice you may have!

I was given advice that LOR should be dated the year of the application cycle. But it may be your best bet to contact Howard or potentially get a new science prof LOR from another.

Hey! I submitted /
8/9, got verified 8/27. I got the email saying my primary app has been received and is verified, but no secondary yet. How long does it typically take to receive a secondary? My friend got her secondary the same time she got her “application verified” email so im kind of nervous. HUCM is my top choice.

Yeah i'm a reapplicant, the previous times i've applied i got it the same day. But not this time lol. I've seen in this thread though a lot of people got it 6-8 days later so maybe its just luck of the draw .. i hope.

same, definitely thought it was the II until I got to the end of the email
The same here. At the end, though, it mentioned Virtual First Friday Open Houses. If I understand things correctly, would that make the upcoming meeting on 9/6/24 at 12 PM EST?

Is this different from the secondary acknowledgment email
yea there is one saying secondary recieved and then a separate that says AMCAS application reviewed. "We have received and reviewed your AMCAS Primary and Secondary Applications for admission consideration for the M.D. degree program at HowardUniversity's College of Medicine."

I didn't get a secondary acknowledgement email yet :( How long does that typically take to come through?
