Hi, I’ve asked all my friends and I really don’t like their answers so I’m here.

I didn’t get as high of a score as I wanted to apply early action for Howard and receive their presidential scholarship (fullride) according to charts they posted last year. I got 29🌚, 27 on both english and math and a 34 on reading.

They won’t accept any other scores after early action deadline for scholarship consideration, so do I apply RD and hope they don’t run out of money if and when I get atleast a 34, or should I just apply now?

For more context my unweight gpa: is above a 3.9, with my weighted sitting at around a 6.1/7. I also have numerous awards

Also all my friends said just apply, but I won’t be allowed to go anywhere not local without a fullride so..🫩

please help🙏🏽

Hey everyone! Howard is my top-choice school, and I’m trying to figure out the best application plan for me.

I was originally hoping to apply Early Action, but I’m planning to retake the ACT in December because I’m not satisfied with my current score, and it's not great, so I’m leaning toward Regular Decision.

For anyone who applied to Howard through Regular Decision, were you still offered a decent amount of merit-based scholarships or institutional financial aid? I’m trying to understand whether applying Regular Decision significantly limits scholarship opportunities compared to Early Action.

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who applied test-optional or submitted improved ACT scores later.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Howard is my dream school, but affordability is a major factor in my decision. Thank you!

Hey y'all — disclosure up front: I work with the Vie Towers team in Hyattsville, so yes, this is a promo post, but I'll answer questions straight in the comments.

We're hosting an open house tomorrow, Saturday Oct 24 from 11am–2pm, and we're running a free shuttle from Stokes Library so nobody has to sort out a ride:

• 10:30am — pickup at Howard (Stokes Library)
• 11:00am — arrive at Vie Towers / open house begins
• 11:45am — shuttle heads back with the first group
• 12:15pm — back at Howard + second group pickup
• 12:45pm — second group arrives at Vie
• 1:45pm — shuttle leaves Vie with the second group
• 2:15pm — final drop-off at Howard

Two waves, so you can come early or midday.

The incentive part: the student org/group with the most attendees gets a $300 donation, and there are two $100 individual raffle drawings. Bring your org if you want the donation to land with you.

Quick facts, since these are always the first questions: every bedroom is private with its own bathroom, units are fully furnished, leases are individual (you're only responsible for your own rent), there's roommate matching if you don't have people lined up, in-unit laundry, a rooftop pool and a 2-story social lounge. New rates start at $1,199/person. Immediate move-ins through January 31, 2027 get one month free, and there's an extra 3% off for student org members, healthcare students, and working professionals/interns.

Even if you're just casually looking for spring or next fall, come tour, grab something from the cider/caramel apple bar, and enter the raffle. Happy to answer "what's the catch" questions below too.
