She said match info will be released after graduation.
Do you know if interview invites or interviews extend until May? I thought the last day for interview invites is April 15th
I read in previous posts that they will be interviewing until the beginning of May. I suggest you call the admissions office. I know they are hard to get on the phone but try as many times as you can and send emails. Good luck!
Based on my experience, they are better at responding emails than phones.
I know the minimum MCAT score is 494 or 22 to be considered as a competitive applicant. Its website indicates this as well.

Congrats!! I interviewed with you. When did you receive the Out of Committee email?
Wrote and submitted an pre-interview letter of intent to Howard through email on 2/8 and multiple email updates (12/8, 12/22, 1/8, 2/10, 3/24). Did not get a response from them, though.
Thanks! Only April 25th and April 26th were given. While the invite stated those were the last two days, when I spoke with admissions a month or so ago, they did say they may be interviewing in May. But it is certainly getting down to the wire. If you really are interested in Howard, go to the next Open House (first Fridays of the Month).
Congratulations! May I ask what resources you used to study for the mcat?
Self study. Bought the AAMC section banks. Did those a lot. As well as AAMC full length practice exams. Bought Examkrackers books and their full length exams too. I took practice exams over and over. Should have done them even more, though, I would say. But if I had to do it over again I would bite the bullet and add a real Kaplan or Princeton Review course too. I think its worth it to get as good an mcat score as possible.
I've heard good things about exam krackers so I'm going to try them. I took Kaplan but they didn't have any real strategies, just good content. Also, when did you apply to Howard?
I think my secondary was complete early October.
I stayed at Comfort Inn Downtown DC, Convention Center. Not too expensive and it's located 10 minutes away from the school. The email with the interview info gives you a link with a list of hotels Howard works with or has partnerships with. It's better if you stay somewhere close to the school like the one I stayed. Good luck!
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
They really did not share how many seats are left or how many applicants they will be interviewing in the following weeks. They just mentioned the class size which is 110 or 120 (don't remember this exactly). But I suggest you call the office (try many times) or email Ms. Walk and ask her directly. Remember that there are applicants who are accepted to Howard but decide to go to other schools so the number of seats left, in my opinion, changes as the cycle progresses.
Thanks for your input!
Or interview invites...
1.5 months
According to the admissions office, the last two interviews are the 25th and 26th of April.
Did they say the class was full?
Did you read the post?
