<p>I'm a Junior in high school
My Freshman and sophomore GPA adds up to a 3.132 on an unweighted scale
(hopefully it'll be higher by the end of Junior & Senior year)
I plan on applying through early decision for Howard
I run track (don't plan on doing it in college)
I'm involved in a community service club & student council.
I haven't received my SAT scores back yet, but I should be receiving them this week.
My PSAT scores were 1420 which I hopefully beat on my regular SATs ..
I plan on majoring in Biology & becoming a dermatologist so Idk if I should be applying to the college of science or medicine.
HOWARD IS MY DREAM SCHOOL!</p>
<p>3.1 1420 may be a bit on the lower end for Howard…I would say a 3.2/3.3 1550+ is ideal</p>
<p>You can’t do college of medicine until after undergrad unless Howard has a Pre-Med major. If they don’t, then you’ll still need to meet the Medical school requirements so you might want to Major in Pre-Med and minor in Biology.</p>
<p>Okay thank you! I’ll let you guys know what my SAT’s were then you can tell me? Are you guys applying there?</p>
<p>Oh Okay. &I’m a Junior , I haven’t visited yet so i don’t know if i will apply but most likely i will but i won’t get a chance to visit it though. i live in nc.
What are you going to major in ?</p>
<p>Either chem or bio</p>
<p>What’s your chances of getting in if one of your parents is an alumni? As well as having currently enrolled family members</p>
<p>I believe they look at that & it may help.</p>
<p>Really I heard it has a big impact because they like to continue legacys</p>
<p>@QuannahMack Oh Okay. i know they have a bs/md program with a pre-med track.</p>
<p>. &has anyone on here visited Howard?</p>
<p>Yea I have 
its amazing</p>
<p>this is where my older brother graduated he loved it here and even found a girl to marry. </p>

<p>I actually went to a summer program there for 6 weeks. At first you have to get used to the surroundings but after that it feels like home.</p>
<p>I’m just really worried about my chances of getting in next year.</p>
<p>@Quannahmack what are you stats?</p>
<p>3.2 I got a 1490 on sats but I’m taking them again in May.</p>
<p>1490 as a junior? thats not totally bad…my first time I got a 1350, then a 1570, then a 1660, so improvement isn’t as hard as it seems…but to be perfectly honest…your stats seem to be in range of the school already…I would not doubt that you will get accepted if you apply with those stats</p>
<p>I’m applying early action so hopefully I get in! Maybe some scholarship money too!</p>
<p>I got a 1350 my first time too and I’m a Junior but i’m taking 3 or 4 tests before the year is over</p>
