Howard's Start Date

I think it is July if you do PARP and just Mid August if you do not .

 

I do not think it is for everybody like the other school's. I think it is invite only.

 

DoctaJay-

You much choose LLU for 2 reasons:

1. It sunny California! (Nashville is pretty cool)
2. Im on the WL for Meharry

Thought I would share

 

Im not quite sure when it starts. When I interviewed there they said mid-July but they did mention they were considering changing that date for orientation. But I think it is pretty early.

 

Per my acceptance letter, orientation starts Wednesday, July 18.

The PARP program is not for everybody. It is by invitation only and it is only for accepted students lacking extensive science backgrounds or those with science backgrounds but haven't taken science courses in years. The PARP program is designed for these sets of people so that they're not too far behind in the sciences by the time classes start.

 

It's kind of funny when you think about it, but a good number of us could be classmates in a few months.

How crazy would that be?

 

yeah that is early, short vacation! lol.

 

it feels unreal to me.

 

So, why do you think I've been nice to most of you on these threads?

Coz I figure someday I might need help with that killer 4-page-biochemical-basis-of-mycetogenetic-and-nephrolithological pathway


j/k

 

You got jokes, eh?

It will really be funny. We will have to meet up at the Starbucks in the old Howard Inn on Orientation day or some time before that to meet each other or something.

Assuming that most of us decide to go to Howard. Otherwise, it will be at SNMA, AMSA, or AMA meetings.

 

out of curiosity how long did it take for you to get the acceptance packet after the email was sent from the admissions office?

 

Hey for those who have been accepted to Howard..when did u guys interview if yall dont mind me asking?

 

I interviewed Janurary 17th, 2007.

 

I think I interviewed there on November 14th and got accepted on December 18th. Not too bad. Good Luck and I hope you get that accpeptance if you haven't already.

 

Thanks I just found out this week that I was accepted but Im still waiting on the formal letter to come in. How long after you received the email saying your decision was mailed out did the acceptance letter come? Congratulations on your acceptance as well! Good Luck with others as well.

 

interviewed on 11-8-06

 

I got an email on December 14 stating my letter had been typed and signed and once again got my acceptance letter 4 days later on the 18th.

 

Yep, already fantasizing about medical school as well...hanging out at the coolest corner at Starbucks....sleek black stethoscope hanging out of snow-white lab coat pocket ...huge "Biochemistry of Human Diseases" book on the right hand .... a 64-ounce cup of hot latte on the left .... and the next block exams hanging on the back of our minds .

This is getting scarier by the minute...

 

hmmm, its been a week now and still no letter kind of making me a bit nervous. guess Ill call the admissions office tommorrow. thanks.

 

I am in the same predicament. I received an email stating that a letter was signed and in the mail, but i have yet to receive the formal letter and it's been a week.

 

it should be in the mail, if its been a week you can call Ms. Walk in the admissions and ask about the letter and about your decision (if you choose). I finally got my letter a week and a day after the email and when I called they said they sent it out after presidents day weekend and not that friday when the email was sent. It should come soon hopefully, but I would call the Howard admissions office. Good Luck!

 

Thanks! I'll definately give Howard a call.

 

I received the same email. I received my letter on Saturday. It probably depends on where you live.

 

Thanks for the info. Now I have a better idea of when I may need to move if I choose Howard. Decisions, decisions, decisions....

 

orientation!

 

.

 

I'LL TAKE IT if they decide to give us 2 weeks to just chill and do nothing ...I am not in a hurry to start coz I know the next four years will be like a trip to hell and back

 

I got the second round!

Actually, I'll prob be settling in to my new place wherever that may be.

 

Hey guys! Howard Med Class of 2011 has a group on facebook! You got to join it!

Orientation lasts two weeks. There is a bunch of stuff you do...some introductory lectures...visits(last year was NIH). Classes start about a week after orientation.

Y'll don't forget to join the group on facebook!

Oh yeah...Third round!

 

Sup everyone..

Today I got a call from Judith Walk from Howard University saying that I have been accepted into the class of 2011!!! Im soo happy..its my first acceptance so you can imagine how joyous and relieved I am!! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back from Howard and any other places

 

I'm holding you to that Docnaan

 

.

 

so, i'm confused... Should i be expecting a letter, a call, or an email..???

 

.

 

I got an email stating a decision had been made, and that if I wanted to know what that decision was before I received the letter I could call and find out. So I called Ms. Walk and she told me that I had been accepted. Got the letter later that week.
