Love you guys! #BlackGirlsCZcamsToo
Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful. My son just turned in his app for Howard this weekend. Please keep him in prayer.
AMEN!! That's so exciting! What does he want to major in?
Excellent video! My daughter is HU19! She got accepted into HU & 9 other Universities. HU was her first choice. She applied for early entrance. They replied LAST out of all acceptances 😬! We are happy as hell & it was worth the wait!
***** I had to a do a double take. I'm sorry, your DAUGHTER as in, you're not 20?? Lol that black really doesn't crack. That's great though! I hope I meet her and I know the feeling when that one acceptance comes in that you've been waiting for...I had full rides but as soon as I heard from Howard, I knew. Congratulations! I hope I get to meet her in August
# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo I have a son too. He got a full ride athletic scholarship offer before he even had a chance to APPLY. He wanted to play Division 1 football so... Otherwise, he would have been at Howard as well :-(.
I wish he could meet a quality girl but the thots be on him. Click to see him on my channel.
Lmbo, I just died! He's a baller so they'll always be there but as long as he knows not to pay attention to them if they have nothing of substance to offer💁🏾 lol that's what my mom tells me. I pretty much just fell in love with your channel btw, you seem really fun lol
I love seeing another HBCU sister making videos here on CZcams! Very informative! I know this is going to help somebody. Sending love from Spelman.
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! God bless you lol I am going to be an senior this fall and I am going to apply here so thank you :)))
thank you sooo much this video was VERY informative!
Love your channel💕
Tiara McNeal Thank you lovely!
This was soo helpful thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this info it's been my dream to go to howard for so long long u have been so inspirational 😘😘
Anastasia 718 thank you very much lovely, I wish you the best with your process!
YAY YOU MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!
I know this video is old but it’s still very very helpful!! I didn’t know I could get so many scholarships from different places
If you're here specifically for the scholarships, skip ahead to: 6:41 !
I applied early and got accepted to Howard and I'm sooo excited!!!! I plan to go to the school of communications as well!!!!
This was so helpful for me! Thank You, I'm a junior in Highschool
Chandler Peters You're welcome! You can use a lot of those scholarships that I linked in my description even if you don't go to HU
Chandler Peters Same. Im an incoming junior and I need all the help I can get lol.
hilarious intro. wishing you the absolute best in your endeavors. continued success in your studies. my daughter has HU as her first choice. thank you for the info you deliver. would love to see a video on where your motivation comes from, as in, your educational experiences that led to your current achievements on your collegiate path. peace and blessings young Queen.
southernkomfort00 I might cry if I try to make that. But thank you very much and you're welcome. I just want to give others the help that I didn't get. Your comment made my day!
Well what u have presented for others to follow has been highly influential, especially from a future parent of a college students perspective. I overstand u not making it, cool, u have done more than enough with the info u have provided. What a great representative HU has in you with your experience as a Bison. I truly wish u the very best.
Thank you and I wish your daughter the best as well, it's clear to me that she has a great support system behind her! I'll add your suggestion to my video topics list and hopefully soon I'll be comfortable enough to address it
@A'aliyah Boxleyy, it won't let me tag you but I think the first step is to apply through the Howard application online as a Transfer student. If you're able to, I would look into the course descriptions from the classes you took at your school and compare them to the descriptions at Howard to make sure your credits will transfer. Good luck!
Aww This is Super Nice To Do a Video Helping Ppl. This Was So Informative. Im Not Going To a University For My Prereqs but I Do Want To Come From Cali & Go To Howard's Dental Hygiene Program. Idk How That Works But I'm Going To Look Into It.
# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo Kay Thanks Girly
yw(:
Hi! love your videos. can you do one on how you scored so high on the SAT
Kayla Boo Thank you! I really wish I could say something more but I didn't study for the SAT. I've heard of students taking SAT prep classes to prepare themselves for the SAT but I just went in blindly and took it, same for the ACT. I would suggest taking both tests as many times as you can afford though! They'll add up your highest scores on each part.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to be a junior next year in high school, and this helped me out a lot! I'll be prepared when we get to our first college meeting! :) #HU21
@Empress The Ruler hope you see this because it won't tag you, I believe you have to be invited/chosen, it's not an application like SOC. I could be wrong, so after you're accepted to Howard, call the dean or any of the advisors in SOB
+Hinda Diakite A lot of people say common app is much easier to use, maybe I went at it all the wrong way but I was so confused! I preferred to send each school a separate package. It felt more traditional to me. So I guess just personal preference.
This video was so helpful! I received the presidential scholarship, but I was worried if it was renewable or not. Thank you so much !
Hello, Im an upcoming junior in high school and I'm really motivated to get the presidential scholarship also. I was wondering if there are any tips you can give me for studying for SATs and/or ACT's. I would really appreciate it, thanks.
Anayia Henry I only took the ACT because it was easier to me. To do really well on either, you have to do well on the math portion and be competent in geometry, algebra II, and a little bit of trig. Also treat the science portion as if it’s just reading comprehension and not like an actual science test. Hope that helps!
Dioncia Wofford Yes it did, thanks again!!! 😀
Thank you so much for this, I am late to join the bandwagon. My daughter got accepted to Howard and Spelman, Howard is my choice. I am a single parent so I am pushing..
I just love your videos ! I was wondering if Howard gives out full scholarships for all four years based on your academics ?
nesha J yes ma'am, that's the President's Scholarship, one of the freshman scholarships I mentioned. You just have to maintain the 3.5 to keep it all 4 years
Thank you , One more question in your opinion which is the best freshman dorm to stay in ?
College Hall Noooooooooorth
I'm a new subbie & new to CZcams. I love your channel and just got started on my own. Do you mind looking at it and giving me suggestions on how you got started?
Alexis Shiana Hey, I just checked out your vlog, lol you look like you had a great time at school. Where do you go? Also, honestly FabulousInMaking pretty much taught me everything I know, check out her video: czcams.com/video/0aw3-bM5Dec/video.html
& last, if you follow me on any of my social medias and DM me we can talk more. Thanks for subscribing and welcome to CZcams love!
Hi! I am a rising senior in high school and Howard is my first choice.. I was wondering, do you know if Howard superscores the ACT?
Hey Kimberley, it won't let me tag you so I hope you see this. I touched on it but I couldn't remember what my essay was about. I THINK there were a few options and I chose to write about a person I look up to and I chose Dr. Maya Angelou.
I probably missed it, but did you talk about essays? What was yours about?
***** hey Sydney, I'm actually not sure. I tried googling it but you'll have to call someone in admissions. I'm sorry ):
I really wish I watched this BEFORE I applied lol. I want to be go to SOC but I didn't send in any samples of what I wrote, filmed or anything. And my admissions essay isn't about why I wanted to join that program
I want to transfer to Howard ? Do you know how I can get in and start the process ?
Loved the video! I went on a tour of Howard today. I plan on applying this fall! #HU20! My question is when should you start applying for scholarships?
Camrah Sky Anytime, some scholarships have academic standing requirements, for instance you have to be a senior in high school who is accepted to a certain university, but there are some for sophomores, juniors, kids who are already in college etc. lol it's never too early to start the scholarship search!!
# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo Hi I will be a junior in highschool. I really am thinking about applying to Howard. Where can I start looking for scholarships? I seen that you mentioned that there are some for sophomores and Juniors.
UNCF.org under the scholarships tab, google, local businesses around you, getting involved in organizations like Jack & Jill, fraternities or sororities, etc. Next time your mom goes to the bank or something, ask if they offer scholarships. Remember though that any "Scholarship" that asks you for money is NOT one to put in for. Good luck on your hunt(:
Where do you get the application for the SOB honors program
Do you know anybody in the nursing major ? If so , is it difficult to get into the program ? And what GPA should you aim for if you want to get into Howard ?
Do you think it's too late to get the legacy scholarship since I'm just applying??
Is there any advantage (as far as scholarships are concerned) to applying as early as September over waiting until the Early Action deadline of November 1st?
just the "first come, first served" thing!
Why did you use the howard app vs. the common app
in order to get the presidential scholarship do you have to send in BOTH the SAT and ACT? For example if the SAT score is within range, but your ACT score isn't (or vice versa)
+Dani I think this is the only one where you have to send in both. BUT, personally, just in case, I'd send them both. If you can still get the Capstone, GO FOR IT!Your grades are high enough to get outside scholarships to cover the laptop!
My Cousin is going to Howard this coming semester you guys should link!!!!
Lina Lauren that'd be cool, send her to my instagram or twitter!
Okay I did!
If i got the freshman scholarship from Howard, could i also use outside scholarships?
is it true that Howard takes your unweighted GPA from your high school transcript?
Benefits of applying early? I called and they can still reject you after early action :(
So I dont currently meet the requirements cause I read them wrong but also they changed. Im planning to take the SATs in early december and my grades are higher which would make my overall gpa higher so does howard look at current grades or just the transcript you sent in?
+purpletua Transcript but they'll pay close attention to your senior year too, lol so don't fall to senioritis!
# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo Do they accepted weighted gpas?
+purpletua I was under the impression that they do, I submitted my weighted GPA back when I applied. But whatever the common app specifically asks you for is what you need to submit. If it doesn't specify I say use your weighted
I need help! I have a 24 on the ACT, which I plan to retake in October 24th, and a 3.65 GPA. Will Howard offer me scholarships? And does the Legacy scholarship cover the whole tuition?
+Ashley Ogbunugafor Hey love, I actually go over each of the scholarships and their minimum criteria in this video, but if you needed to see it visually,
www.howard.edu/financialaid/grants_scholarships.htm
^^check out that link and scroll until you see the list of scholarships. Now, I heard they recently changed the criteria for the Legacy scholarship, but back in my year you needed either an SAT of 1170-1290 OR an ACT of 26-27 and a GPA of 3.00 or higher. The legacy scholarship covers your entire tuition and fees, you still need to find money for room & board etc.
Ok, so I am currently a junior and right now HU is on the top of my list as far as colleges that I want to attend. My GPA is currently a 3.7 that I'm doing my best to bring up to at least a 3.9. I also want to start studying for the SAT now. What time would you say would be the best to apply especially if you want a scholarship? Does your SAT and or ACT score have to be turned in with the application?
Also, I take two AP classes. Does Howard take those credits? (Assuming I pass the AP exams)
What I mean by the SAT thing, say if my school takes the test before deadline but receives scores after it.
You CAN send/fax in scores later but you should have at least one score to send in with your app. Just send the better ones in later.
Scholarships are given on a first come first serve basis so Early Decision is best, but if you can get your app in before say like March, you're still in decent shape.
Howard takes AP credits if it fits your academic scheme and you received a 4 or 5. Dual Credit classes are much easier to get transferred.
# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo Thank You for answering. I'm contemplating on just taking the test during the summer.
I have a 3.0 GPA
I have crappy sat score but I'm working on it
I have great extra curricular
I have great work experience and leadership experience
and I'm also in national honor society but I'm still scared I won't get into Howard :(
+It'sMoyaNYC x boy, if you don't getcho....APPLY. That is all I will say to you, you don't even need encouragement, you know you are brilliant. Just apply and watch!
Hey I wanted to know why even though you had the high test scores and gpa why did they only give you the legacy scholarship is it because you didn't apply as early as others
+Diana Francois Hey Diana, I just didn't meet ALL the criteria, I can't remember what I was a few points off in. I think my ACT score was a point too low? I don't remember, but I do know I was JUST off so I was left at the legacy ):
Also what was your GPA?
When looking at the SAT admission requirements, does it only weigh reading and math?
Bri Nae yes ma'am, writing unfortunately doesn't count ):
When does the application for 2016-2017 open up? It doesnt say on the website.
Kadejah Sako I'm not really sure. Try checking the link I gave again in August or September!
Would you recommend common app or the regular application?
In this video I said regular app, but if you're applying to Howard you can ONLY use the common app. Check out my new Q&A videos
do you know when applications open for the fall 2016 opens? I checked a couple days ago it still says fall 2015
teambarbie4life I know that Common App is open, but the regular Howard app will probably be up in September when you start back at school!
Are these competitive or automatically applied?
I could kiss you LOL ... soooooo informative THANK YOU
Hey, I am applying for Spring 2017 and I'm an international student. What's your view on admissions and scholarships?
There's a scholarship for international students, I'm not sure if it's for spring semester, but it doesn't hurt to check it out! I'm going to send you a link regarding admissions, hopefully it helps you out!
www.howard.edu/enrollment/admission/international.htm
Now when you say that these scholarships cover tuition, do you mean like a part of the tuition or all of it?
+Tia Alexander And when exactly do you think its best to start applying for scholarships outside of Howard? Would it be okay to start now (I'm a Junior in high school) or should I wait until my senior year?
+Tia Alexander Some scholarships can be secured as early as sophomore year. Google scholarships for juniors in high school. Otherwise, you can wait until junior year is over and then go on a scholarship hunt. Remember to keep a record of all the scholarships you might be interested in, right down the name, their deadlines, the criteria, and the amount they're worth so you never get off track!
The scholarships that cover tuition literally COVER tuition, but keep in mind that tuition is not the only thing you have to pay for at college. There's tuition, fees, room & board. Tuition is about $21K,
What was your SAT score? And did you take the ACTs?
Jeanelle Pierre Hey love, I answered it within the video at 10:42 but that's okay! My SAT was an 1860, ACT was a 28. My GPA in high school was a 3.67(:
is Howard difficult to get into if you messed up Freshman year of High School
jasmin richardson nope, I sure did but I made sure the rest of my years made up for it. It's just harder to get scholarships if your GPA ends up under a 3.0 by the time you graduate
I am at a 2-year college and thinking of transferring to Howard next fall. Do I still qualify for the Presidential Scholarship if I have the GPA?
+IamEkuya Hey love, first I wanna redirect you to this update: czcams.com/video/mEyu4HQFtfs/video.html&lc=z12oybdbatrpivarg04cfdgaani4yh4om4w
Howard changed the freshmen scholarships. With that being said, those scholarships were for freshmen, transfers have other opportunities but you have to call admissions or the financial aid department to inquire about them!!
Thank you!
For the scholarship requirements..do they look at your cumulative GPA?
yes ma'am, all four years of high school are considered
what about for international students for those in the West Indies who do the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE)
hey! can you tell us why you didnt get the founders scholarship? your GPA was high enough and so was your SAT....
Someone else asked me that and even though my TOTAL SAT score was high enough, I think Howard only used my Reading + Math score when giving out money, which wasn't high enough to get me out of the Legacy. The number I stated was for Reading, Math AND Writing.
man thats booty. btw, I reallllllllly like your channel. a lot
+vlllcxr vllcxr lmao right?! 😂 so close but still so far, thank you so much for watching and asking the question
If i meet below the SAT requirements for the area i want to major in, do you think they would still admit me?
+BeautyyQueenn717 Depends on how far below, which program and if you meet every other requirement! But remember that you still have the whole year to retake the SAT and (re)send in a score
Okay so I'm a senior and i'm going to apply early action. Altogether I got a 1240 on the SAT :/. But since they only look for reading and math scores, i got 360 in reading and 440 in math (800) altogether. I want to major in Nutritional Sciences, and a minimum 500 on math and reading is required. On the good side I guess, I have a 3.7 gpa and An "A" average in the classes of "Biology, Chem, Mathematics, and English - they require a "C" or better. lol talk about a bad test taker. Would it be worth taking the SAT again?, my scores would already be sent by time I apply.
+BeautyyQueenn717 I say it never hurts if you can financially afford it. Even though you would have sent in your scores already, you CAN have new ones sent again. I know COAS (College of Arts & Sciences) is a little more strict about their scores, BUT you sound like an excellent student and a very good applicant, they may look over the 60 points. You don't have to retake the test, that's just my suggestion. If you do decide to retake it, try an SAT prep course first though.
+# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo Okay, thank you for your advice, and encouragement :). I think I'll retake the SAT, since they are strict with the scores lol. I think it's worth the shot. Thanks for getting back to me I really appreciate it. :)
+BeautyyQueenn717 I gotcha, thank you for watching the video asking the question. Haha I appreciate THAT(:
I’ve heard that they took away the full ride legacy scholarship! Is that true ?!
Hey lovely! Yeah, apparently all of those scholarships were scrapped for new ones right after my freshman year. I put up an updated video with the new scholarships and criterium, I'm pretty sure it's all changed again since then: czcams.com/video/mEyu4HQFtfs/video.html
omg how can I get my SAT score as high as yours? Mine is a 1550, i find it somewhat low :/
+Aida G is that reading & math or your overall score, because that's not low at all!!
I would suggest taking your SAT as many times as you possibly can and maybe looking for an SAT prep course that can train you to be a better test taker. As you may know, these standardized tests do NOT test your intelligence, but rather your ability to test take. lol be great and be blessed girl(:
does howard superschool the ACT score ?
CallMe_Ambitious Hey, someone else asked this question as well. I don't know, you would have to call admissions to find out. It doesn't say it anywhere online ):
If you apply through common application will you still be eligible for the freshman scholarships?
Christina Mason yes ma'am!
Thanks, your vlogs are very helpful!
Thank you!! & you're welcome(:
So, as an adult student, 32; who's HS is no longer a HS and who has no connection to past teachers. What do I do? I'm a certified dental assistant and want to attend Howard University for dental school.
Justin Peterson of it's a graduate program, you probably only need info from your previous college/trade school. Or recommendations from an employer etc. your application would be non-traditional so you'd just have to check your requirements. These that I mentioned are outdated and were for first-time college students straight out of high school
Justin Peterson good luck by the way! Try calling admissions as well
# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo
Word. Because I'm thinking that this process is going to be difficult due to me not being a newbie. LOL
I'm like, I have no essays, I can't even find my SAT scores online, my HS is gone. WTF!
I'm encouraged and I thank you for the well wishes and response. I hope you have much success in your career!! #HU
# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo
Oh, I'd have to come in and get a bachelor's degree in biology before I could get into dental school, I was told that much by the hard to reach admissions office!!
You're welcome, aw man. As in a whole other 4 years of undergrad before you can start??
do you have any social media in which i can see the everyday howard life? (IG, Snapchat)
+Werner Garcia IG: dayloveyouulongtimee & blackgirlsyoutubetoo
SC: sh3seccifuhreal
Also, does Howard superscore?
+Ashley Ogbunugafor Howard does indeed Superscore!
OMG, I DID NOT KNOW THAT! THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!
Would you recommend someone that is not African-American to attend a HBCU?
+Guadalupe Barron I most definitely would! I believe that any minority can feel at home at an HBCU, however Howard even has white students
+# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo thank you. I am really considering attending an HBCU.
+Guadalupe Barron are you overseas right now?
+# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo no. I'm from Southern California
+Guadalupe Barron Oh okay, well if you can, come tour Howard and see how you feel while you're on campus. If you do come and it's during the academic year, let me know so i can meet up with you and maybe introduce you to some people so you can get a feel of what it's like at an HBCU!
Can you apply as a junior in high school ?
Are graduating as a junior?
+# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo No but can you still apply to Howard as a undergrad or do I have to wait till a senior in high school
+Riann Landers no no no, you apply in the beginning of the school year that you'll be graduating
+Riann Landers you can start applying for scholarships though
+# BlackGirlsCZcamsToo thank you so much
Can you get more than one scholarship ?
These scholarships are no longer in existence, watch my "Things Have Changed" video. You will only get awarded ONE freshman scholarship but you can stack up as many outside scholarships as you want
If you can afford Howard, but you still want to receive a merit-based scholarship. Should you still apply to FAFSA?
DeyDey Oma yes ma'am! That's the only way you'll get them. You can decline the federal grants if you want to, but your school needs your FAFSA info
would i be able to apply as a junior
Aya Tennyson junior in college as in as a transfer student or junior in high school?
High school
I don't think so, not unless you're graduating early or applying for a summer term. There are probably camps & stuff that you can do as a junior though to get you on campus and into activities. You can always email someone from admissions or try calling and see what they say about it!
OMG Howard University I wish to there 😍❤ always daydreaming about it 🙌😈
Berry Cherry COMEEEEEE
So you got 1860 just on math and reading??
Brianna Marie woooo girl no, the highest you can get on each section is 800 points so the highest you can have for math and reading is a 1600. I had a 1200 for math and reading
If i got the freshman scholarship from Howard, could i also use outside scholarships?
Imani Amira yes ma'am! Howard might choose to adjust the scholarship they gave you or they might give you any extra money in a refund check
thanks :) #hu20 lol
yasssss! good luck with your last year, rock it out(:
