facebook group slowly going up 🤧
Hopefully it’s just people who have been accepted joining and may not attend. Keeping hope!
Any update on this?For anyone that’s called, have you spoken to anyone on the admission committee or Williams-folkes about your specific WL status?
Omg same I was about to jump up and down!!Tell me why the second look day email damn near gave me a heart attack 😭 see y’all Friday tho ✌️
thank you so much for this 🫶🏽 this makes me feel a lot betterI called and talked to Ms Williams-Fowlkes a few days before CTE and she said the people who haven’t gotten rejections they aren’t letting go of in the case they’d be invited for an interview depending on movement. She said they’ve already sent waves of rejections. She was really kind and even asked for my AMCAS ID to verify that I was still being considered. :’)
I called today for any updates and Ms Jones picked up, and she’s very lovely as well. She said that there is still a lot of movement and a considerable amount of people have dropped their spots, but if you haven’t been rejected yet that you’re still in the running in case they have a need to interview. She couldn’t really answer yes or no to it but emphasized that it just depends on the people holding multiple acceptances right now.
Realistically there’s a really small chance of that happening at all! Maybe I’m silly for holding out hope. I’m from the area so HU has always has a special place in my heart since I was a youngin! It happened in previous cycle so it isn’t impossible. 🤞🏽
Hopefully this info helps any WL people as well

i did not ask but i do know that they had only six people that did not get off the waitlist last year if that helpsDid anyone ask how many people they got left on their WL? Or anything similar to that?
I was planning to ask yesterday at the second look day but I got sick and couldn’t attend.
Congratulations!!!I got the A today! Interviewed 3/29 WL 4/22 I’m going to be a doctor 🥹
Thanks but idk how much that’ll help us bc this years been different unfortunatelyi did not ask but i do know that they had only six people that did not get off the waitlist last year if that helps
yeah i have no idea how this is gonna go. i might be wrong, but it felt like 90% of the people at second look were waitlistedThanks but idk how much that’ll help us bc this years been different unfortunately
Completely agree, only reason I stopped being so optimistic after the first week of May was because they didn’t have a massive wave of As to the WL students.Howard is a pretty low ranked medical school(I put no stock into the rankings just stating facts) so many people apply as a safety. They get in and hold acceptances for a long time and as a result the school has a good portion of applicants who don’t actually have it ranked as their first choice. Therefore Howard pulls a lot of students from their waitlist and almost exhausts the waitlist every year. This year could be different but if we follow the past years it’s likely most of the waitlist will get pulled off. Now it probably won’t be in a timely manner but Howard has pulled people until June 30th and this is a consistent trend over the last decade. I’m not giving false hope or lying but the reality of the situation Howard’s position is very different than most medical schools and they have a very fluid situation
Agree. The cycle is designed horribly and medical students and applicants need to be treated better.Completely agree, only reason I stopped being so optimistic after the first week of May was because they didn’t have a massive wave of As to the WL students.
Also, bc I haven’t gotten in yet I have some bias against the WL movement occurring as it has in the past, which sucks for me. I think a lot of us who are in the same position feel the same way.
Just throwing it out there, but f the design of the cycle that allows schools to drag it out until the very last day. The whole career/pathway is stressful as it is and this just adds onto it.
July 21stDoes anyone know when the white coat ceremony is?
bruh it sucks..
Day 34 of waiting… i really thought may 1st would be the day
Would it be worth sending a letter of update and intent at this point for those pre-II?I called and talked to Ms Williams-Fowlkes a few days before CTE and she said the people who haven’t gotten rejections they aren’t letting go of in the case they’d be invited for an interview depending on movement.

I mean no one could answer that except you, if you try! But I do know there are a good amount of people post II still on the WL. And I don’t believe howard would conduct additional interviews if they have not exhausted their WLWould it be worth sending a letter of update and intent at this point for those pre-II?
Just got the R- complete 7/25 (!)
