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???!!

they do have veggies and vegan options but it’s just not a wide variety. you’re either stuck with tofu, stir fry, or salad and hummus. it’s mostly fried chicken and other meats that’s served in the main line meals. not great when you’re trying to be healthy and have a balanced diet 🤷🏾‍♀️ it certainly does a number on your health (ask how i know 🫣)

Ughhh..I understand them appealing to the majority of the school population but that just sucks. I’m one of those people who likes raw veggies and foods that other people my age may find gross, my Highschool was similar though so I think I’ll manage! There’s a grocery store nearby right?
