I didn’t see a thread for Seniors applying to Howard for the class of 2021, so I figured I’d start a thread. Feel free to post your stats, and other schools you’ll be applying to.
Best of luck to those applying for the Class of 2021!

@MSHopeful Your daughter has the exact stats I had in the last cycle. As long as you apply early, she’ll definitely get the Presidential Scholarship.
@Nedcone Awesome! She is applying by the EA deadline of Nov. 1.
Apparently, Howard doesnt offer those scholarships anymore. They have new scholarships with higher requirements. ^#(^ the lowest ACT score you can have to be rewarded any merit is a 28 and that only covers tuition. https://twitter.com/juicylorr/status/661553018211577856
