Would you mind sharing what your MCAT was?

505; guy above was right ab my gpa tho. 4.0. but I believe my PS and most meaningful EC are what got me all my interviews. They really do fit the schools mission

Awesome congratulations!

 

[neuroninja521]

I missed the last 2 First Fridays due to a schedule conflict 🙁

I signed up another time this week, so fingers crossed it goes well and I also just sent an update letter. Man, I've never wanted to get an interview from a school this much.

Did the send you a Zoom link? I still haven't received anything

They did! I received it 2 days ago.

Do you know what the GPA ranges were? I have a high MCAT with a lower GPA.

Around 40. Keep in mind not everyone in it will attend, so there are so many more spots left. There is a reason they emphasize that stats are not everything. Also, a large portion of the previous class interviewed later in the cycle (I’ve talked to 2 that said they interviewed in March) and got in and/or came off the waitlist. And I honestly think this can apply to many other schools

Thanks for sharing all this info and congrats on your A!

Idk. Like I said stats aren’t everything. They just get you through the door considering their cutoff is like 494.

Congrats!! Did you send them any updates since being reviewed?

 

[JMD25!]

HUCM is processing 9000k applications at the moment! Defiantly gonna have to be patient on our part as far as waiting for invites etc.

omg yall i totally forgot about the first friday :'( will this hurt my chances???

 

[peerless_cucumber]

omg yall i totally forgot about the first friday :'( will this hurt my chances???

I don’t think so. I just attended it and it seems more geared towards people who haven’t applied yet - at least the first part of the presentation. They have a student panel at the end that might be helpful for a current applicant

 

[hijoules]

They also mentioned that they were 2 months behind on emails, which is why if you submitted an update letter they haven't responded. They are down a person in the admissions office so I expect things to move even slower than normal.

It did seem like they don't really want/like update letter if they arent very substantial

 

[0pal]

thanks yall <3

 

[snoopythedoc]

yes i literally sent one earlier this week so didn’t expect the quick turnaround!!!

Wow! Did you get an email back that they received the update?

I did not.

Yh they said they got like 3000 emails or sumn. I would strongly encourage people not to send any more if I worked there too.

anyone else still ghosted after submitting the completed app?

Under review since 9/23 😢

Pretty sure HUCM is known for ghosting… but we just got to keep our heads up and hope for the best 🙃. I go the under review email 09/09

 

[allgoodthings]

I have a lower MCAT, interviewed in Oct, accepted in Nov. The accepted gc has a large variety of MCAT scores. that statement is completely untrue.

Same, I also have a much lower mcat, interviewed oct, accepted oct. Don't let stats and others discourage you!!

 

[Divanurse66]

From what I’ve been told, they’ve been sending interviews for 510+ MCAT’s first. Then Dec/Jan onward will be sub-510 MCAT’s. But based on last years thread a lottttt of interviews went out jan/feb as well and as late as april! So keep the faith!

Can confirm this. My son completed secondary in early August (2021-22 cycle) with a sub-510 MCAT. II sent out in December for January interview.

 

[coolcloud17]

OOS A, interviewed 11/26

 

[pink_flamingo]

OOS A, interviewed 11/20!

 

[rosieroses1423]

Congratulations to all who've been accepted thus far! Anyone submitted their secondary around the beginning of November? It's been 5 weeks since I've got the secondary submitted email and I've been feeling anxious. I really am hoping for a response as Howard's my dream school and am wondering how long it took y'all to hear back from the secondary fully received email :')

 

[rosieroses1423]

^ I also have been totally checking this thread + Reddit literally after work to hear on anything ;-; but it seems according to this past First Friday, Howard's been one man down and have been delayed with emails/IIs/etc, so hopefully something soon for us waiting 🙂

It’s definitely anxiety inducing. Some people have been waiting since August to hear back. I think we’ve just got to wait for them to get to our apps and then hope for the best. Good luck!

Hi, did they ask about your score during your interview? any other tips?

 

[Isotropicsquid]

Can someone explain what the difference between the two check boxes are in the admit letter? Do we check both if Howard is our top choice?

 

[catchingfire]

They didn’t ask about my stats at all. I think everyone that has interviewed can attest it was Very chill. PM me.

I wonder how many acceptances they’ve given out already.

 

[purplegirl500]
