HU21 international applicants

I realised that there wasn’t a thread for international students. Has anyone gotten their acceptance package yet?

At least not the physical packet.
Have you?

I have! They said my official package would be sent in the mail and information on my financial aid would be sent via email

So what countries are you guys from.
I’m from Nigeria

I received my official package in the mail today.
How about you guys @Smithy39 @miajay08

I’m also from Nigeria. Turns out, I received it in my spam mail April 19th. Capstone scholarship $34k and I’m just seeing it and accepting it today. Have you received or accepted yours? What did you write in the comment section of the award acceptance?

I haven’t gotten an official mail though. How did you get yours? You know in Nigeria addreses are messed up

@miajay08 I received the founders scholarship and have accepted it. It hasn’t reflected in my bisonweb though. (Except the ‘web accepted’ part.
LOL. :)) No one was home so they called, had it brought down to my parents office.
I got the mail via UPS.

Oh okay. I put my normal house adress. Do I need to change that? How do they know where to send it to?

No need to change it. If they have difficulty locating the house they would call the number you filled in.
They sent my friend an email saying his would arrive next week. No need to get too worried

Nevermind, my mum just explained the process to me. Thanks!

@syllaboss Although officially rejected from Howard upon my awesome stats :)) lol… …i got an email from Howard University mail center telling me that an admission package is coming my way… …should i be happy yet

Hi! @syllaboss Can you please tell me what your high school GPA and your SAT score was?

@benawo Congrats man! Hope you also recieve a good scholarship in time. :))
@aalu017 Had a 4/4 GPA 1480 SAT

@benawo mine is even stranger. I didn’t even get an acceptance or rejection e-mail but I also got the e-mail saying that I’m expecting a package from Howard and when I called the Howard mail center, they told me it’s an acceptance package. I’m just going to wait till I open to see whatever’s inside.

Hey guys! I’m from Nigeria too! Applying to the class of 2021.

@syllaboss How did you get a perfect GPA? I thought that’s not possible in Nigeria.

Did any of you receive need-based aid? How much?

I meant class of 2022 sorry
