I’m guessing that the requirements for the School Business are similar.</p>
<p>It looks like you have a good chance of being accepted to Howard and getting some type of scholarship. - Good luck</p>

<p>The Executive Leadership Honors Program </p>
<p>The objective of the School of Business Executive Leadership (SBEL) Honors Program is to provide a superior and specially designed academic experience for those undergraduate students who have demonstrated superior academic ability and leadership potential. The Program seeks to increase the pool of well-trained, well-rounded minority executives who are committed to leadership and community service in the field of business. The Program includes honors sections, special courses taught in a broad spectrum of disciplines by outstanding faculty, leadership and ethics training, opportunities for independent study and research, and exposure to graduate opportunities and corporate mentors. Honors students are required to participate in additional community service activities, as well as specific internships, seminars, and workshops. The Program also is effective in exposing students to senior corporate executives through corporate retreats, seminars, and a corporate mentorship program. The department chairpersons meet each year with the students in the Program to collaborate on curriculum ideas and professional networking opportunities. </p>
<p>Each student in the SBEL Honors Program receives part of a full tuition scholarship. Approximately 25-40 students are admitted into the Program each year. The current SBEL Honors Program requirements are detailed below. These criteria and tuition allotments are subject to change. </p>
<p>· Academic Criteria for Eligibility </p>
<p>An incoming freshman must have earned a combined SAT score of at least 1150 or an ACT score of 26, a high school grade point average of at least 3.5, and rank in the upper 10% of his/her high school graduating class. </p>
<p>A rising sophomore must have earned a grade point average of 3.5 or better in his/her freshman year at Howard. </p>
<p>· Statement of Career Interest </p>
<p>Each applicant must submit a two-page, double-spaced typed essay outlining his/her interests and career goals within the field of business. </p>
<p>· Statement of Personal Interest </p>
<p>Each applicant must submit a personal statement that details his/her extra-curricular activities and outlines the reasons for seeking admission into the Honors Program in Business. </p>
<p>· Each applicant must submit an official transcript and confirmation of SAT scores. </p>
<p>· Each applicant must submit three letters of recommendation. </p>
<p>It is important that these letters be detailed and frank. Each letter should state the extent of the recommender’s acquaintance with the applicant and, as fully as possible, the recommender’s opinion of the applicant’s intellectual ability, commitment to academic pursuits, character, reliability, and maturity. Two of these letters should be written by individuals, preferably teachers, who are familiar with the applicant’s academic abilities. One should come from an individual who is familiar with the applicant’s contributions to his/her community.</p>

<p>Thank You!!! Is there anyone in particular I should ask for?</p>
<p>What I did was the first time I talked with someone, I kept that person as my contact. We built up a nice telephone relationship. :)</p>
<p>i got accepted to howard university for the fall 2010 and i was assigned to Cook Hall. i was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about the dorm. I am a transfer student but im transfering from a community college and i understand that universities are wayyyy different so i just dont know if i would b more comfortable in the quad or in cook hall. so can u please just give me ur advice i appreciate it <3 and can you tell me what is a double full bath does tht mean i have a room mate?</p>
<p>Yes, it means you’ll have a roommate, but you’ll also have a full bath to just you two. Cook is a nice place to rest, but that’s pretty much it. You’re not allowed to cook, no smoking or drinking regardless of age (so no parties). You’ll probably lose visitation for most of the year, too. The rooms are generally large and clean, though, and quiet. Oh, and A/C and heat.</p>
<p>I Have the same problem i wanna know my chance on being accepted to Howard .
So im at the end of my jr year and plan on applying to Howard University before November 1 ( early action) . But the problem is my grade point average is not a 3.0 & higher . i received honor roll once or twice which boosted up my gpa but im still scared of being rejected . I have alot of leadership roles by being editor of my school newspaper , working with video production and photography. I want to major in communications . I received awards on articles i wrote and designed . I also do sports . i did bowling for 3 years and track and field for a year, honors school choir ( advanced ) , yearbook , video , tv and radio production debate team & etc. I also did lots of community service , donating clothes for the homeless and serving food for the homeless . my letters of recommendation are outstanding . Ive worked with outstanding people through out my high school career . i went on a college tour and i had the chance to see Howard . I was fascinated .Furthermore what are my chances on getting accepted ?

<p>i am rostered to take an AP bio class for y senior yr but i dont really wanna take it. So i was wondering if i needed 2 get in?</p>
<p>I have a lil vent & a Q lol
I applied for the Spring 2011 semester as a transfer student on July 27 via the web & ended up having to send my college transcripts twice because they said they hadn’t received them. I called today to find out the status & the lady was super rude but said that they were still waiting on them. I know that last time I sent them (3 wks ago) they got because i had a delivery confirmation/signature on it. Im headed out there next week for a few days so I will personally go talk to admissions. Its super frustrating. Did anyone else experience them losing your info??
Also how long did it take for you get a yay or nay from them?
Im so anxious & figured that if I applied in july I’d some kind of answer by now but considering they keep losing my transcripts and rude it might take longer :-/
Thanks for any reponses guys!!! :-)</p>

<li><p>Does Howard students and like Georgetown and George Washington students all hang out at the same places at night?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it common for Howard University students to like to hang out in the really nice parts of D.C and explore the whole city?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>From the experience of my kid…tends to hang with students from American U. </p>
<p>And lots of exploring is done. Lots.</p>
<p>YMMV</p>
<p>@tbyarse - I applied Aug 31 for Spr. '11 semester as a transfer and I received my acceptance letter in the mail yesterday, 9/27/10!!</p>
<p>How do you feel about white people attending Howard?</p>
<p>Hi guys, I have a few questions. I recently sent in my early application to Howard (I think). I say I think because I sent it in before November 1st, but on Howard’s website it said it was “created” on November 3rd. Does this mean that I missed the deadline? Also, it says that my application is incomplete. “Application Status: Incomplete items outstanding” I sent everything off with my counselor. One more question, when they ask for a copy of your transcript, I was under the impression that I was not to touch my transcript at all. Well, I mailed out everything, transcript included. My GC sealed it & mailed it. Did howard want it faxed? </p>
<p>Thanks =)</p>
<p>I am definitely glad that I am not the only one! I sent my application in one week early for early admissions. I also sent it through express mail and got conformation that it was received. I got on the website and saw “incomplete items outstanding” and pretty much had a heart attack, but since there’s two of us it leads me to think that they probably just haven’t updated the statuses or haven’t gone through all of the mailed-in paper work.</p>
<p>At least, let’s hope so!</p>
<p>I hope so too =)</p>
<p>I wonder because it “says” I didn’t make early action, will I still be able to find out in december or april?</p>
