I'm assuming you will get it within the next couple of days!Still no secondary? My app was sent to them in late June..?
Exactly how brief are we supposed to be on these questions? I don't see a word limit, and yet the questions say "briefly explain/describe." Thoughts, anyone?

How did you end up crafting your explanation? Did you also put in it's course description?I spent all day going through their website and past forums trying to see what others said about this too... Other medschools allow English requirements to be fulfilled through writing intensive courses but Howard only allows courses with ENG prefix I guess. I'm using the explanation box of the section to explain why I believe that one of my writing courses reflects the same objectives of English courses even though it's listed in a science department rather than English. But if anyone has called and asked about this please let us know!
I did. At first I thought it was because I hadn't paid the application fee but even looking at it now, i'm seeing the same error message and my application has already been submitted with my application fee paid.Just submitted Secondary. Did anyone get a message '500 Error, OOPS something went wrong' when you tried to check application status?

Do you think it's even worth for me to apply to the school if I answered no to this question: "Have you lived (for three years or more) in communities which are medically underserved, or where the majority of the population is economically and/or educationally disadvantage?" I'm very committed to working for underserved communities and my experiences back this up; however, I know Howard is mostly accepting URM students so should I even bother? Thanks!
Secondary received.Confirmation email that your money went thru or that they got your apps? I turned mine in 4 days ago and only received a payment paid email...

Question about the MCAT section: ARe you planning to take or retake the MCAT?
I have taken the MCAT in summer 2016 , but my score was not so high, but im still applying this cycle, meanwhile considering to retake it. Do you think I should claim that I am retaking the test even though my score from previous MCAT is released!!?
This is going to sound dumb, but if I took my MCAT and now have my score back should I answer yes or no to "Do you plan to take/retake the MCAT during the current application year?" -- I just put No under the assumption they will have my new score (July 22nd test, Aug 23rd score release) -- applied after receiving the new score.
I just realized on the first part of my secondary I included the wrong school name but then at the end I mentioned Howard. I hope they have a sense of humor when it comes to typos.. I really like this school &%$*!
..Yikes! Maybe they wont notice....
me too"your secondary has been screened/received & a preliminary review has taken place" -hucm Monday afternoon
