Any new updates?

Is there anything wrong if I did the document by document evaluation instead of the course by course?

Anyone receive a founders scholarship?

Hello there, I am from Nepal. Has anyone( from Nepal) received financial aid package from Howard University?

So, after spamming emails to Howard on where is my admission decision, Howard finally decided to reply on the last day of April saying “We are not in receipt of your transcript, and now we won’t be considering you for admission as the submission time is over.” And, I don’t know how they claim to not have my transcript, when my GC submitted it through the Common App, and other universities were in receipt of the transcript through the same application. The slow administration and communication problems at Howard has been continued over the years, but what I was absolutely not expecting from Howard was this level of irresponsibility. If they had misplaced my transcripts or were not in receipt of it, they should have informed me earlier and not when their class of 2022 has been finalized. I decided to apply to Howard despite all the scholarship scams it had been facing, for I thought Howard would still be a good place to go. And, there are a handful of other international students who haven’t heard anything from Howard yet. I suppose Howard is going to give similar reasons to them, denying them admission for no reason. I am writing this so that it might serve as a reference for future applicants.

has anyone written a letter of appeal?

@Idontknow23 I have seen on social media/you tube of some instances where visiting Howard’s financial aid office (mostly during ASD) has helped some students secure more financial aid but that is no help to you now. My suggestion is to see if you can find some threads here on CC or online dealing with writing a letter of appeal looking for methods that have worked for other students. My own advice is to show your passion for Howard and let them know how a better financial aid package would affect your life. My biggest worry is that you had more leverage before May 1st than you do now. I have talked to Howard’s financial aid office a couple of times in the last 3 weeks and they are definitely short handed and overwhelmed by the volume of work they have. Good luck to you and please let us know how it turns out.
