Maybe I'm being overly sensitive about typos and looking for petty ways to narrow down my school list...but I would think that someone would have proofread that official Open House Agenda flyer...

Yea I'd imagine they'd be pretty slow.. It might be better to go and actually talk to someone from admissions in person at the open house, that's what I plan on doing to see if I can get my scholarship requirements relaxed a little.

I was hoping to do this but I think I waited to late and know tickets are sky high...and I dont think howard reimuburses so I doubt I will make it out there next week

Anyone sent in their seat deposits yet?

My decision came as an email... (Hours after my status checker changed) But at the top, it says "Congratulations on your acceptance to Howard University... " or something to that effect..

Yeah... it took a week or two to hear back about getting Open House materials electronically. Maybe try calling?

Yea man this seems like a constant problem with husl.. it took them over a month to respond to my fee waiver request. If you look in last years thread you'll see the same issues with the administration

Hello all,

As a 1L, I seriously understand the frustration with Howard and the administration, which almost prevented me from attending. There would be days I would sit in tears on the phone trying to get problems solved, and it seemed never-ending. This was a frustration of all of my classmates before school started.

That being said, I never regretted the decision to attend Howard since school started. Although I had to get over the humps before Fall (it was like a haze), I believe it was worth it. There is a song sense of community in the school, and our alumni network, OCIs and events are plentiful.

Just something to keep in mind as you deal with the Admin....

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
