My daughter applied EA and her file was complete and she didn’t receive a notification yesterday. There were students last year that applied EA and didn’t get a notification until January 15th.
When does scholarship info come out?
Have you gotten your notification yet, @quinnmquinn
Yeah. I’m in. But I’m worrying about scholarship now. @lasyat
I applied EA and I still haven’t gotten an acceptance email. Still hoping!
Any international student got their admission letters yet?
Hey Justin, I did although I got in for the spring 2016. I told them to defer it for Fall 2016. So I’ll be going there hopeful when you guys are.
@mtjones1 , hello from the fellow parent of a theatre major.
My D went thru the process several years ago and Howard was on her list. We attended the open house and thoroughly enjoyed it. After that, I can’t say that the rest of the process was as good. The audition day was poorly run. They had students running it for the most part and they staggered in throughout the morning, some looking like they were still in their pajamas. The staff that was there lacked warmth (and I’m not the hand-holding type of person either). She auditioned in front of another applicant and then they sat them both down and asked them the same questions, so they could hear the other applicant’s answers. They told them that they would hear within three weeks and if I recall, she didn’t get an answer until right around May 1st. It just left a bad taste in our mouths.
We didn’t get a chance to see a production but I know that they produce good, hard working talent (which is why I encouraged her to put it on her list). I hope they’ve improved on their process.
She is extremely happy at the program that she is in.
In prior years, the scholarship email came within a couple of days of the admittance email, I guess theyve changed the process.
I did not get any email of a decision or a letter. I also never received an id number from Howard U to check application status online. I applied EA on 11/1 and i am not an international student
@Khizzywhiz You can’t check your application status online. I’m pretty sure they do not do that anymore. The rest of EA applicants will be emailed after January 4th.
@Chopinspiano OHH wow they really need to update their website, i was really anxious thats for clearing it up for me.
Everyone that got in, Could you guys give you stats…??
@sydsim Thank you so much for your insight. So far so good with Howard. We did visit the department and they were very welcoming and she felt very at home. We haven’t auditioned yet so we will see. She’s currently getting the run around with a different university entirely. And it’s becoming exhausting. So I definitely understand what you mean. Seriously I’m just ready for all of this to be over and for her to get into a program that really fits her. 
Hey guys. So I have two questions when applying to Howard. 1. How do they get my financial information since they do not use css (international student here!)? 2. Where do i submit the supplement essay?
@Hopeful42020 There is no supplemental essay for Howard. They only have the initial Common App essay. I would email Howard after Jan 4(their office is closed for Christmas) to ask them about FA information.
Does anyone know when Howard will release scholarship info?
Did everyone get notified of their admissions decisions? My S still hasn’t heard back and he submitted in late October.
@umsigmadom No, I haven’t gotten mine back and I submitted around the same time. Decisions keep coming out until mid to late January
@cookiestar Scholarship info should be sent out in January or February.
