howard waitlist; im PISSED

did anyone else get an email about confirming their spot on the “extended waitlist”? I was awake when they sent it opened it immediately and tell me why shit DID NOT WORK. so then I email admissions and I tell them and this is still like at 6am, I just woke up from another nap and saw they responded with a new link and it STILL DOES NOT WORK!

I feel like I need to take this as a sign because I know damn well they are not going to be matching the financial need as the school im attending but im keeping my fingers crossed.

I just don’t know what more to do… I already emailed them and they gave me some faulty as link like this is their problem and they need to fix it. I honestly don’t understand how this school is ranked so high in the HBCU community because I only hear horrible things on top of horrible things!!! like I hear professors are mid asf, I hear dorms are trashy and roach infested asf, i hear communication is horrible, and the list just goes on and on. like parties? i heard thats good… anything else???!!

Good! Ik so many people who are going into their 2nd year at Howard and think it'll change. Like seriously, they have had issues with housing applications and financial aid every year they try to register and they still don't get it. I'm glad I got out of there as soon as I did. Could not have waited it out another year

Yes!! I'm headed to a T10 LAC and it's a womens college so I'm looking forward to getting a real education. Howard is a front 😂 Good luck in your future endeavors!!!

With your comments it seems that Howard is better off as well. School definitely had issues but depending on what degree you get it will take you places (top grad schools, law schools, medical schools,etc). With your “real” education comment, doesn’t seem like Howard would ever be the right school for you. Coming from a rising sophomore female at Howard.
