<p>I also have a strong essay.</p>

<p>I applied before the November 1st deadline and I applied with my 20 ACT, since then I've gotten a 1570 SAT and it was sent there via collegeboard...How will that work out? Will they reconsider the 20 ACT ?</p>

<p>Also, I'm ranked #2 in my class, will I get the Legacy Scholarship?</p>

<p>you should definally be accepted great job!</p>

<p>You’re in, for sure.</p>

<p>Idk if you got in or not, but you need an ACT between 26-28.</p>

<p>For the Legacy Scholarship, but you should for sure get in.:)</p>

<p>Nevermind, your SAT score will do. I hope you’re enjoying Howard!</p>

<p>wow, i thought this post was deleted by the mod’s like 5 months ago lol…but yeah, since writing this I got a 1660/2400 SAT, a 3.5 gpa, and I was accepted with the legacy scholarship lol…I’m going there this August to major in accounting :D</p>

<p>.congratulations ! Tell me how it goes</p>

<p>I have a quick question, I’m in a rigorous program and only take AP, honors, pre-IB, or IB classes. Consequently my uw gpa is 3.25 (-_-) and my weighted is 4.17 (1/4+ pt for honors/pre-IB classes, 1/2+ pt for IB/AP classes) . My question is, will they give me a pass for my uw gpa if I qualify for scholarships through my test scores? I got a 29 last time, but I took it again so hopefully I get a 32. Thanks for any input, you guys.</p>

<p>just from being familiar with howard’s admissions process and with some of the people on the selection committee…they value standardized test scores more than they do gpas…now i don’t know how that will correlate with the scholarship committee there, but I also do hear that they are pretty stern with the guidelines</p>

<p>Wow, my SAT score exactly! Haha congratulations! Did you apply early action?</p>

<p>yeah, i applied early action, but I applied with my 1570 opposed to my 1660 and I still received a scholarship (because of rank)</p>

<p>It you don’t mind answering @908kiddo, what were your combined math and critical reading scores? I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be nosy, but I’m getting nervous because I’m applying to Howard within the next couple days. I got my score to a 1780, but with those two combined I have 1150, but the site says you need a 1170 minimum for the legacy scholarship.:/</p>
