Ask a Current Howard Student

<p>Sigh…I was kinda banking on early action. =(</p>

<p>I had a better chance at getting in.</p>

<p>well whats are your grades and evrything?</p>

<p>2.78 on a 4.0 scale. (I know, I’m kind of out of my league =/)</p>

<p>Terrible at math, good at English and history. Couple of honors classes and one AP class this year.</p>

<p>In marching band & on drumline. (wrote about this in my admissions essay)</p>

<p>Do you think I stand a chance? My gpa isn’t the best.</p>

<p>hey my gpa is 2.8 too. but my essay was crazy good. really intimate, personal, and professional. like what were you sat and act scores? i wrote a resume too.</p>

<p>I didn’t think of a resume.</p>

<p>1510 overall. 420 on the math part. (yikes!) 560 on the reading part. I don’t know if that’s good or not.</p>

<p>Hi everybody ,
Those are my stats , i’m Applying Regular decision , I wonder What are my chances of getting In :
3.8 GPA
SAT : 740 SAT Maths , 560 CR , 640 WR !
Thank you</p>

<p>idk you never know. when i went to visit, the kids were like just apply they let everybody in so idk! do you really want to go there? </p>

<p>wonder what all the people who said they were accepted gpa and scores were.</p>

<p>I REALLY want to go there. College wasn’t even a thought until I looked up Howard.</p>

<p>um “aminedesign” you know your in stop playing lols</p>

<p>didn’t get what u said morgane</p>

<p>I’m thinking about getting a scholarship , i’m afraid that there are a lot of students who got scores like me , cuz I reaaally WANT TO GET THE SCHOLARSHIP !! :(</p>

<p>To the poster above me, with those stats you should be a shoo-in =)</p>

<p>The thing that … me right now is getting the scholarship , I didn’t apply early action and I wonder if there are some students who are in the same score range and who applied early , one more thing , the website’s scholarship section tells that the scholarships are awarded on a basis of " first to come , first served " and not everyone can gets the scholarship if the funds are exhausted !! :frowning: so I’m worrying
one other thing , If I applied by dec 21st , when should I be notified about my Admission and Scholarship ?</p>

<p>I’m not the one to answer that, I’m just as confused as you are. Sorry =(</p>

<p>Ok ! Thank youu ! and what about the scholarships ? can I get one ?</p>

<p>You’re welcome! Most likely you can. try fastweb.com, they have a lot of scholarships for Howard students with gpa’s over 3.0</p>

<p>So did most of you guys that got your letter apply online? Because my friend got hers last week, but she applied online. Then another person I know mailed in her application but it was two weeks before I did. The thing is that I mailed mine in on Oct 28, and my dad works at the Pentagon so they got it that same day. So I’m thinking it’ll take mine some time to come in. I’m so anxious that every time I see a FedEx truck I scream :(</p>

<p>U’ll hear good news ehamptonn , be optimistic ! :smiley:
by the way , what were ur stats ? SATS and GPA</p>

<p>That’s what my friend said that got accepted.
I have a 3.94 on a 4.0 gpa
I’ve taken 7 honor classes and 6 AP classes
I have a lot of extra curricular activities too. But I can’t take tests so my SAT isn’t bad but it’s not what I know I can do. I’m kind of not worried because my grades are decent, but then again anything can happen. Also, I don’t try to toot my own horn, but I’m an amazing writer. My friend that got accepted had a lower gpa then me and also a lower SAT score. So, I’m just really impatient right now because I’ve wanted to go to Howard since I was in 7th grade!</p>

<p>Oh! and I forgot to add that I’m in the top 11% of my school, so I’m really proud about that. :)</p>
