Hi there, I am currently a senior in high school & I really want to attend Howard University. Howard is the only out of state college that caught my attention & plus I love the city, D.C. My first SAT scores was a 1170 & I saw on the website that for a Legacy scholarship, you need a 1170-1200, now I want to know with this score, will I get in??? I took my SATs again today, but I won’t see my scores after 19 days. Please, anyone, help me get into Howard, please. I plan to be a successful lawyer one day, and HU is where it’s at. Thank you in advance.
Your score is good enough for admissions to Howard. However, if I was you I would strive for acceptance into one of the three Honors Programs. Admissions into these programs are a bit more challenging but they have many benefits. So I say retake the test after some intensive studying, you’re already pretty close to the score you need to be considered for honors admissions … good luck @nayx15
If you have a 1170 on the SAT, you’re on the threshold for getting that scholarship. Hopefully your new SAT score will be higher than the minumum score requiremment.
-If you’re applying EA or ED, don’t take another SAT. However, if you’re doing RD, then try to take another SAT before the admission deadline.
-Hopefully you have some good EC’s and GPA as well
Hope this helps and good luck applying!
