Howard University Class of 2020!

Interesting that you considered both Howard and BU–these schools are vastly different! However, when you say you plan to major in EE do you mean electrical engineering? If so, this link may help http://www.eece.ceacs.howard.edu/admissions

How bad is a 1.8 unweighted GPA ?

Hey there! I am currently waiting on a respond from Howard, dealing with whether I got in or not. My main concern is my low unweighted GPA (1.8) what do you think my chances?

@MezzoForte Thank u so much for ur help. Apparently, they dont necessary require us to finish 12th grade, just need to have certain amount of years of studying specific subjects. Oh and my bad, I meant my CR score is 550 not 500. And yes, the 2 schools are different yet I applied to both because my scores were around average so I thought I might have a chance lol. No loss in doing so right? haha

@nayx15 with that low of a gpa your chances aren’t good at all, sad to say.

Hi everyone!

I’m pretty sure (but not 100% positive, you didn’t hear this from me) that decisions are being emailed on the 18th, and everything is supposed to be mailed that day as well. I saw that someone called the admissions office and asked. Good luck to you all! Hopefully this’ll make you feel even a little bit less nervous.

Omg it’s tmr! So excited! Good luck to everyone applying!

Does anyone know what time they’re sending the emails out tomorrow?

Has anyone gotten even a single mail from Howard yet? I’m worried sick here. Will it be ok to call the office and ask about it? I’m afraid they might be annoyed or sth if they’re busy since they have to submit decisions tmr and all.

When I called the office they said my application hadn’t been processed yet?? Anyone else going through a similar problem?

I havent called yet since I fell asleep but they told me it’s still ‘processing’ via mail when I asked them.

Everyone call to make sure your app got processed! Some decisions won’t be released until January.

18th!! anyone got a mail yet?

Someone said they called and the admissions office don’t know if they’ll release them today. -_-

Lol I called the admissions office. They said they might release the decisions on the 20th and that they highly doubt I’d receive a decision until Jan because I’m an international student. Wow… oh and get this, they didnt even know about their own scholarship plans yet. I really want to get into the University and this anxiety is killing me.

I hate how unorganized their administration is. They honestly need to be fired.

I called today and they said they would be releasing decisions on the 20th by email, it’s a shame that not all applicants will receive it by then. The lack of scholarship information (re:JustinPon’s post) is also upsetting as finances greatly affect my decision…

I’m confused. I got an acceptance email at 12:36am, but an hour later they sent me another email saying that I’ve been waitlisted. So I tried emailing them today and it sent me an automated email saying their office will close from 3pm today to January 4th.

They are so unorganized.

woah…that’s messed up…Haven’t received any mail here

has anyone else gotten an email?
