Hey guys! I wanted to stop in a share the good news...I'm in too!
I'm just really torn b/c I also got into my State (cheaper school)
UT-Houston.
I know everyone here will be biased towards Howard...and I really loved the school, but I need to be realistic to some extent and consider all factors. The truth is I'll be taking out almost double the amount of loans @ HU (unless I get some sort of scholarships which I hear are hard to come by.) Also...I want to practice in Texas after I graduate. Can you all leave some thoughts? I'm really battleing with my decision...and any insight or new perspectives would really help.
Heres a short list of pros/cons
HU pros: 1) I LOVE the diversity of the school...although I can get along with ppl from all backgrounds
2) New city experience in DC (I've been in TX all my life)
3) I have already met some really amazing ppl at Howard and can receive a lot of help/support from them
HU cons: 1) administration
2) so far from home
3) super duper exp and crazy cost of living (compared to TX) how much debt does one take out on avg for 4 yrs @ Howard??
4) Networking when I move back to TX (all my contacts will be out of state more than likely)
Houston pros:
1) close to fam/friends live in the city
2) more economical (less debt)
3)contacts made in TX
Cons:
1) school not as diverse
2) No out of state experiences
3) Not sure how strong my support system will be
I realize that this is a very personal decision, and I'm going out on a limb by posting these thoughts up here, but I would really appreciate any experiences/opinions anyone can share.
Thanks guys and congrats to all!! P.S. sorry this post is soooo long =(

Hey guys for those who got accepted recently...did you guys sent out the deposit by regular mail or fedex'd it to get there soon? Have you guys heard if they had received it?
Ok. Well I didn't receive my acceptance letter till last tuesday (7th) and mailed out the certified check on wednesday the 8th. At the post office they said I didn't need to do anything since its something that only the school can cash and regular mail would get there by friday (10th). I called yesterday and the secretary told me that it gets to Howard Univ and then they bring it to them, but the lady who receives it isn't in until next week. She then told me she would tell Mrs. Clarke-H that my stuff would be coming in late and was told that aslong as it was postmarked before the 15th it would be fine. Should I be worried?
I hope so. Thanks so much. :0)
