Ask a Current Howard Student

<p>@Candymama
I actually applied last fall and got accepted for the spring semester but deferred my application for fall 2011 and i got accepted last week. As far as credits they are going all over so I should be in good shape. Looking foward to the Band Up there.</p>

<p>This is completely irrelevant to this forum…but I can’t help myself.</p>

<p>“66% female undergraduates and 34% male undergraduates”</p>

<p>:D YAY 4 ME !!!</p>

If i dont get in this time i’m going to just apply for the spring, i hope i get in though because i feel like i’ll miss alot coming in during the last semester. As for my credits, i doubt that i’ll get alot of them transferred. i talked to someone at my school and she said that i could be a freshman all over again. im supposed to be a junior fall 2011.</p>

<p>Oh Okay and Yes I will be a junior for the Fall of 2011 as well . Where are you transferring from as far as credits? And I was in the same situation a few months ago when I was trying to transfer to NCAT and Jackson State and they only took 4 out of the 33 credits that I had from Hampton. And I wasn’t about to start over so I decided to just stick to the “HU’s” LOL!</p>

im transferring from a community college in VA. you didnt like hampton? at first thats where i wanted to go but then i went there for homecoming and i changed my mind lol.</p>

<p>Oh ok and that’s a LONG STORY LOL but it’s all good tho</p>

<p>I got my acceptance package this morning!!!</p>

<p>But now the decision is even harder…Did anyone get any financial aid stuff with their acceptance package? Cause I didn’t.</p>

<p>They send it to you later. I received my acceptance letter in December, but I just got my scholarship award on Tuesday. I still haven’t received my financial aid packet.</p>

<p>@vikette when did you apply?</p>

<p>@ambitious93, I applied the 1st week of January.</p>

<p>i just wanted to ask if i applied like in the middle of jan and i sent in my transcript already but not a letter of recommendation yet. the application status says Complete ready for review but i wanted to now when should i expect a response and my chances.</p>

<p>I am a college freshman at a community college in Ny with 15 credits now with a 3.7 expecting to end this semester with 30 credits and a 4.0(hopefully) and graduated H.S with a 3.7 top 25% of my class but with a not so great sat score but average i guess.
Im really trying to transfer and get out ny and enjoy a true college experience</p>

<p>@vikette
Did your application say not entered and still processing? Because my application still says that and I sent my application on January 6.</p>

<p>Accepted to Howard !!
Wonder what scholarship I’ll get??
<strong>fingers crossed</strong></p>

<p>Good luck ambitious93 on the scholarship. Congratulations on the acceptance.</p>

<p>Ambitious93 howd you find out? The site is down to check. Are there other ways to check?</p>

<p>Do you feel going to a HBCU like Howard has prepared you accordingly for the real world?</p>

<p>@lacrosse mom thank you very much!</p>

<p>@sabreeap I checked my app status early thursday and it said decision made congratulations. Later on that night when I logged back in it was down. It should be back up Monday I would assume.</p>

<p>Congrats are any of yal attending accepted student day??</p>

<p>i got in too. they posted it online on feb. 24, and i just got my admissions package in the mail yesterday. still hoping to get some scholarship info.</p>

<p>oh and as for accepted student day, i don’t think i’ll be able to make it. no money for a plane ticket, i’ve gotta pay the enrollment fee and all that</p>
