Really interested in applying to Howard Uni but I'm finding their website a bit clunky and hard to navigate. Does anyone have a General list of the application requirements I can refer to? I don't want to miss anything important!
Sure, I can outline the general application requirements for Howard University:
1. Online Application: The first-place to start is completing Howard University's Online application.
2. Application Fee: The University requires a non-refundable $45 application fee.
3. High School Transcript: You'll need to provide your official high school transcript.
4. Recommendations: Howard requires one letter of recommendation from a teacher in a core academic subject. If you're applying for their Nursing or BS/MD programs, you'll need two academic recommendations.
5. SAT/ACT Scores: Though Howard is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, you can still submit your SAT or ACT scores if you feel they will strengthen your application. Howard will review all scores submitted, but they will consider the highest composite score first.
6. Essay: An essay is required as part of the application process. The prompt will be available within the application itself. The essay should be reflective of your experience & capabilities.
7. Resume/Activity List: While not explicitly stated on the application checklist, including a resume or detailed activity list of your extracurriculars, awards, leadership roles, and work experience in your application can add depth and context.
Remember to check the application deadlines to ensure that all your materials are submitted on time. I would also suggest contacting the admissions office directly if you're unsure or have specific questions about your application.
