On December 29,2009 I Had Actually Dreamed About Howard University That Night And That I Receieved My Package In The Mail. For Some Reason HBCU'S Are Extremely Slow When It Comes To The Administration. Many Of My Future Classmates Had Still Not Received Their Packet By January 1, 2010 Which Is A MAJOR PROBLEM. I Had Been Waiting For My Package Since October 15, 2009 And It Had Finally Came In The Mail. As I Woke Up At 11:00A.M I Checked The MailBox And There It Was. Waiting For Me In A Big White Envelop...
Why did I choose
Howard University?
I've always wanted to attend an HBCU (Historically Black College/University) and Howard was my number 1 choice. I had seen nothing but positive reviews and people that became very successul, career-wise, which also played a big influence. I chose Howard because it is a top ranked HBCU (ranked number 2 behind Spelman), it's in a big city, many prominent people have attended, and it's well known. Their school of Communications/Journalism is also the best compared to any other HBCU.
Advice On Applying To Howard University...!!!
1.) Apply Early(Like In October)
2.) Turn In Everything- (Complete application package includes:

*$45 non-refundable admission application fee payable by money order, cashier’s check, or credit card. Personal checks are not accepted. Note: Howard University does not waive application fees.
*Official high school transcript that shows your cumulative grade point average and class rank (from 9th-11th grade)
*Standardized test scores
*One letter of recommendation from a teacher.
*One letter of recommendation from a counselor.
*Admission essay- FREE TOPIC Is BEST
3.) Send Everything Yourself. & Call Everyday Until U Know That They Have Everything.
What Do U Need To Get Accepted?
*You Need At Least A 2.5 & A 22 On The Act. I Dont Know Much About The SAT..
What Did I Have & Got Accepted?
I Sent My Freshman-Junior Transcript And Had A 2.6 & A 26 On The ACT.
MY WAITING EXPERIENCE..
I Applied To Howard University On October 15, 2009. My Acceptance Was Made 2 Weeks Letter. Even Though My Decision Was Made I Still Was Not Able To Know My Status Until It Was Posted Or I Received In The Mail. 1 Good Thing Is IF YOU APPLY ONLINE YOU FIND OUT YOUR STATUS ONLINE ON DECEMBER 15 And If U Dont Apply Online You Have To Wait Till You Get Your Letter And In My Case I Would Have Been Waiting Till December 29, 2009, ANGRILY. As The Time Went By Of Me Applying To Howard University And Waiting For My Status I Checked Howard's Website Everyday Just To See If Something New Was On There. I Watched Every Single Video On YouTube, About Resfest, Football Games, The Cheerleaders & The Ooh La La's, ETC... Howard University Was My Life. I Woke Up Thinking About Howard And Went To Sleep Thinking About Howard University. One Thing That Made It Better Was My Howard Fam On Facebook. The Howard Groups Did Nothing But Show Me I Was Not The Only One That Loved Howard As Much As I Do, A.K.A STALKERISH. Now Don't Get Me Wrong, Howard University Is An Awesome School, But I Started Feeling Like A Stalker After So Long. But It Was All Worth It. Waiting Those 2 Months Showed Me How To Have Patience Even Though Its Easier Said Than Done.
