They are separate programs. The one thing I am sure of is you can not be a Karsh STEM Scholar and do the BSMD program at Howard. You would have to choose.

Hello, I am a finalist for the KSSP program. The TRACKS tomorrow starts during a time that I would be in school. Should I leave early to attend it or just join late when I get home?

Hi @Boa_Constrictor. I would have advised you to contact the KSSP administrators to make them aware of your time conflict in advance, but it may be too late for that now. I recommend trying to be on time, if possible, because the students who are selected and decide to attend Howard in Cohort 6 will get upwards of $200,000 in scholarship benefits along with support and mentoring from the KSSP over the next 4 years. My oldest had an in-person Selection Weekend and missed half of her classes on Thursday and all of her classes on Friday, but it was definitely worth it.

I’ll advice you take an excused absence from school so you can attend. Missing the sessions will make you miss out on a lot in understanding what the program is all about which may affect your preparation for the interview.

Are you guys asking about the KARSH STEM notifications? If so, they will be notified April 1st

You beat me to it. I was under the impression they said 2 weeks 'til notification day, too.

Yes. Mr. Robinson reiterated that date at the end. He also mentioned that they will extend 40 offers.
