Good Morning Potential HUCD D1s,

I was in your shoes last year and I’m writing you because one of my mentees is currently trying to get into HUCD. I’m here to give you some advice as a D1 in their 3rd week.
Do not stress yourself out if you haven’t gotten an interview invite just yet. It is unnecessary anxiety that you are putting on yourself. Howard literally interviews leading into March. Try to not ask others for their stats because their stats have nothing to do with you. There’s people who have blazing scores, yet lack the other intangibles that go along with being an amazing candidate.
In regards to receiving an answer about your application, it is literally like searching for a needle in a haystack. Sad to say, you have to wait. This school takes in roughly 2000 applications and our class is 72. I wish you all the best this cycle. Do not lose hope and once again, don’t worry if you haven’t gotten an interview invite the first round. There’s still more to go!

In regards to the DAT, try not to apply with anything lower than a 17.

Hi! Do you have any advice for the interview? I was offered an interview for this Saturday and I am a little nervous! Could you say which mission statement is the correct mission statement. I am finding more than one on websites. Lastly, do you know if it is a closed or open interview? I am trying to figure out what things they would be interested in hearing when I answer "Tell me about yourself" based on if they have already reviewed my app or not. Thank you!

Hi. Congratulations on your interview. If you were granted an interview, then they have already more than likely pinned you in. They are now trying to put a face to the application, as in making sure you are exactly who you say you are in the application. Especially being part of the first round of interviews. My biggest advice is for you to figure out some important talking points in your life. Try to include something fun. Know the mission statement that is found on HUCD webpage. And HUCD student affairs is the best way to receive information about the college. Also, make sure you emphasize community service! HUCD takes that very seriously. I wish you the best.

Thank you so much!
 
Hello,

I have received an interview invitation for Sep. 25 (virtually) about two weeks ago and have not received the link and information for it after accepting it to Mrs. Nixon’s email. Thank you for all the advice and tips above! Any suggestions?

Hi! It's nothing to be worried about. I interviewed on the 11th and received the link/information the week of.

I have submitted my application in early June, and haven't got the interview invite so far. Does this mean that I have lost the chance? Do they invite on a rolling basis?

I definitely don't think you lost the chance. It's still early in the cycle and some schools haven't started sending invites yet. Howard has interviewed up to as late as February based on what I've seen in previous threads... They probably even interview later than that. Just keep the faith! It's a hard waiting game but what's meant to be will be! Good luck this cycle!

Invited for interview this morning but the days don’t match up to email. Anyone reached out about this?

I received my invite today as well for the 25th. I did send a follow up email to ask because I noticed the discrepancy between the day of the week and the day. I'm concerned because I know last year they did some interviews on Wednesdays so I would hate for it to actually be WEDNESDAY sept 22nd and I'm not fully prepared. I'm just waiting to hear back

Hi guys! I got my invite for Saturday September 25th. For those who did it already, could you tell me how it was for you via the zoom method? Like should i expect multiple people to be in the room? Thanks in advance 😁

Hey! Everything was really straight forward. When I had my interview, I was interviewed by three people: a student, faculty member, and a doctor who is an alum on the college. When you're not in your interview, you are just in the main room with a panel of students and you can just openly ask them any questions you may have!

Thanks for the heads up. Do you remember what types of questions they asked you?

Hey everyone! Can anyone who has had an interview so far tell me when I should be receiving the link for the virtual interview?

Mine is this Saturday the 25th and I agreed to attend the same day I received it weeks ago. Thank you for your time and best of luck!

I received the information the Tuesday before my Saturday interview.

I was gonna email tonight and see what’s up. I know they sent my invite around 830pm on a Friday so I wasn’t sure if that’s when I would get the link or not

Ok, I'll do the same if I don't hear by tonight! Sounds like we all haven't received an email so we should be fine
