<p>your good lmao. long as over 3.0</p>

<p>What is the party life like at Howard?
How do the female act there LOL?</p>

<p>hello everyone,
I am interested in attending HU in fall 2011 as a transfer student. I created my application on Dec 20th and just sent out the final paperwork yesterday ( january 31). I was wondering why they didnt send me a letter telling me that i still needed more paperwork to send in, i had to figure that out on my own. did anyone else have this same problem? and how long does it take for Howard to get back to you once they received all of your paperwork?</p>

<p>I submitted my application and required documents on Jan 6. Now I am just waiting to hear if I am accepted and what type of scholarship I would get. My bff has already been accepted. She did early decision. But we want to room together. I am pretty sure I’ll get accepted because I exceed the minimum requirements. Can she still list me as a roommate preference although I have yet to hear back?
And does anyone know when I should be hearing back?</p>

<p>YAY I GOT ACCEPTED WITH A GPA of 3.2 !!!</p>

<p>AAAAAHHHHHH !!!</p>

When did you find out?

<p>Its actually a funny story,</p>

<p>I applied on December 6, 2010 and sent my SAT score the same day. So then I kept seeing my high school transcripts as not being received for two months. So I called Howard and asked what the problem was, and it turns out that my lazy high school counselors never sent out my transcripts. So I raised hell with the counselors and they faxed the transcripts yesterday. Then the lady at Howard told me they sent out my decision form the same day. So then I got home and logged onto my account and read “Decision Made, Congratulations on Your Acceptance”. </p>

<p>So yup, that’s how my journey to Howard began.</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>Ummm I heard it takes like a month for them to make a decision.</p>

<p>PS: Good Luck ! :)</p>

<p>I ended up calling howard the other day and they told me my appication was completed on january 10th but I only sent in my essay and my transcript, i ended up sending my signature page ( i didnt know if we needed to or not i just sent it in just in case) and my recommendation letter on january 31, i though my application wasnt complete because they said on the website that as a transfer you have to send that in .when I called The lady I spoke with said that i would be hearing back from them in two weeks, so Ambitious93 we are on the same boat. just waiting and checking the mailbox everyday lol. </p>

<p>dandaman09:</p>

<p>Congrats, hope I get that samething when i log into my account or an acceptance letter,either one is good with me lol.</p>

Lol I check the mailbox everyday and then I’m disappointed when there’s nothing from Howard.*
Howard has soooo many opportunities for me. Lol I’m so impatient having to wait. I want to do Howard’s Premed program because I think it’ll be awesome only having to go to school for 6 years instead of the 8-10 years i’d have to do at other colleges. I also hope I get a good scholarship so I can afford it.*</p>

<p>I found out I got accepted Friday night!!! I’m so excited and I can’t wait till move in day!</p>

<p>@ambitious93:
I am very impatient lol. when the lady told me it was going to be another 2 weeks i was ****ed. but i hope everything works out in the end.</p>

<p>@renee17:
congrats.
when did you apply? and are you going to be a freshman or transfer?</p>

<p>@Candymama
How did you check your application status with the lady. The last time I called I spoke to a man who said there still processing applications. Does your online account say that your documents were received? Or did you have to find out from the office of admission?</p>

<p>i called the admissions office and i told her i wanted to check my application status. and she asked for my name and my birth date and she told me that my application was complete on january 10th and she told me that they would have a decision for me in about 2 weeks. but on bisionweb it told me my application was complete and ready for review right after i payed the application fee. so im just hoping it truely is complete and I get my letter by 2 weeks.</p>

<p>@candymama</p>

<p>I applied in late october and my transcript and stuff was in by mid december since admissions lost it the first time around. and I’ll be a Freshman international business major</p>

<p>I hope they havent lost my documents. I sent my ACT scores directly from ACT and that still hasn’t been checked off as received. My application still says processing. So I hope they received my documents and just haven’t processed them yet.</p>

<p>@ambitious93:
you should call them. you are going to have to call more than once because they dont pick up there phone. i had to keep calling back to back.</p>

<p>@renee17:
wow, howard’s admissions is something else lol. but i heard they have a great business school.</p>

<p>Just got my acceptnance letter for transfer into the School of Communications…Radio Program!!! Anybody know of the good dorms for upperclassmen??</p>
