My Experience Transferring to Howard University

[@camrynnoel]

I’m currently a freshman at Bethune-Cookman mass comm major and I’m thinking of transferring to Howard as well. And this video has helped me out a lot

[@fudiadumbuya1030]

How are you paying for Howard of you don’t mind me asking? I went there this semester, but had to leave for financial reasons. I want to go back though.

[@ninamurrill501]

OMG! I might be going there next Fall 2022...future bison HU26!

[@kierrahobdy1105]

Your video was so helpful!!! I really relate to a lot of stuff you said about your freshman experience and I will really consider all of your advice.

[@albertowilliams959]

I find it pretty fucked up how most transfer students don’t receive ANY merit scholarships when coming in. HU picks out the best and brightest with their transfer admissions, and forces them to fend for themselves. My department of electrical engineering and computer science has no trustee scholarships due to tech companies not wanting to invest in ECCS undergraduates. I understand that it’s a systemic issue with HBCUs not getting enough funding overall, buuuut when your alumni is the VICE PRESIDENT and issues such as lack of housing (despite the PLETHORA of apartment complexes being made) or funding FOR the low-income students coming in is still an issue, there’s something wrong…

omg this video helped me soooo much. i’m a freshman at bethune now and i feel the EXACT same way that you did as far as friends and things goes. & i’m interested in applying to all the same schools you did 😭 but howard is my top choice , when do you think it would be a good time to apply? & how has howard been for you since then?

[@TaylorLoraine143]

I wish you much success! ❤️

[@smilee9975]

This kind of makes me not want to go….I’m choosing between Howard and Spelman and will be a transfer.

[@lexyd5483]

Your video was helpful, I plan to transfer to Howard Fall 18. Do you remember how long you had to wait to receive your housing?

[@chafikjay]

Same i need to still Pay my app fee but how long did it take?

[@TaylorLoraine143]

It took about 2 weeks to get my housing. It took them a week to process my Housing Application (and fee) and the following week I was assigned housing.

[@tariqthomas7895]

Super helpful! I was thinking of transferring Fall 2018. Just a quick question, how long was it before you realized that you were accepted?

[@TaylorLoraine143]

Tariq Thomas Hey! A week into June is when I called admissions to discover that I was actually accepted

[@sammiepeacemindless]

I’m in a predicament rn I can’t afford HU and I was accepted so I’m planning on going to state school and then maybe transferring my soph or junior year. Would you recommend my soph or my junior year and would you recommend transferring the fall or spring semester? Also would I have to reapply again as a new student?Will the deposit be as much as a freshman deposit ?When should I apply as a transfer if I have to again? And finally if I gain more outside scholarships can I save them for when I transfer?

[@char6081]

What school did u go to before?

[@brycepride2355]

This video was so helpful because im trying to transfer to howard fall 18. I have 2 friends that got in their freshman year and i saw them applying for housing already and i got so scared cuz i still haven’t heard back from howard. Im like dang even if i do get in im not gonna get housing.

[@TaylorLoraine143]

Bryce Pride yes! Unfortunately, Howard takes a long time to reply to transfer students. I suggest calling admissions to see if they’ve begun sending out decisions to transfers. In the meantime don’t be scared, just hope for the best! Wishing you much luck :)

[@brycepride2355]

Tailored Taylor update: i just got rejected from Howard today. 😭

[@TaylorLoraine143]

Bryce Pride aww 😢 if you want to, you can contest the decision and go through a process where they reevaluate your application. I know a transfer student who was initially declined, but once she spoke with admissions they re-evaluated their decision and accepted her.

[@brycepride2355]

Tailored Taylor i might. Because I got all 15 credits needed to transfer and my gpa was a 3.0. So i don’t understand why i got denied.

[@TaylorLoraine143]

Bryce Pride please do so! Keep me updated and let me know if you have any questions!

[@dayzhanegwynn3740]

I have all the requirements aswell I just hope all of my credits transfer. I would be going in as a transfer graduate student.

[@tianayasmeen]

Dayzhane Gwynn I’m trying to transfer for fall 2020 as well to Howard university, but I don’t know when the deadline is for the application I keep hearing April 30th but I know my semester doesn’t end until May 5th😫

[@dayzhanegwynn3740]

Tiana Small I’m not sure if they’re still accepting anything right now because of the pandemic but try it I believe it was extended. You can still apply if you’re in school.

[@dayzhanegwynn3740]

I’m transferring fall 21.

[@tianayasmeen]

Dayzhane Gwynn aww really ? So I won’t be able to meet you until I become a junior at Howard 🥺 but I’ll be looking foreword to meeting you 💕

[@dayzhanegwynn3740]

Awe me too. You can still reach me on Snapchat. It’s dayzhaneg2019. Or Twitter it’s Dayzhanemelanin. You must’ve did a year at another school then decided to transfer. I did the same but came back home to graduate and transfer to a better school.

[@kidoliciousw6054]

What was your gpa when transferring.???

[@jadawatkins7710]

Hello Taylor, I plan transfer to Howard fall 2021. I’m a current freshman and I would like to you if you would suggest I contact Howard institution to find out what credits are transferable so that I’m aware when I’m taking courses at my current school?

[@dayzhanegwynn3740]

Jada Watkins Hey I plan on doing the same. Were you able to check with someone?

[@toneschild]

Hi I’m trying to transfer fall ‘21 and I can try and help normally on school websites they have a transfer credit converter that helps that what I use from my school site you can dm girl I’ll help you if you’re still transferring

[@faithmpeba2527]

Antonia Marinoni hey can you help me! I want to finish my prerequisites at my community college by next summer. TThen apply early action to Howard for Fall 2022. Because I want to take a gap year to just work and save money. But I’m hearing that Howard doesn’t accept all your credits and I’m not trying to be that far behind.

[@toneschild]

Faith Mpeba hi babe I can help you out

[@toneschild]

Faith Mpeba my ig is @brwncocoabean

[@brittneypierce7864]

To transfer to Howard in the second semester of your freshmen year, do you have to submit test scores?

[@sammiepeacemindless]

Also will I be able to be provided with housing?

[@redditconfessions580]

I plan on going to miami dade for a year will i be able to do the same as far as transferring to howard?

[@chafikjay]

So i sent in my app a little while ago now I’m just awaiting my decision, how did it take again for you to get your letter because i have other universities giving offers and i don’t want to miss out on an opportunity waiting on Howard to send a late letter

[@TaylorLoraine143]

Chafik Waddy hey! I got accepted may 31st but I’m sure I had to call them during the first week of June

[@Mizzhoney777]

Update?

[@Bennyson_T]

Hello, I got accepted Fall 18..... but they said housing is full. Do you suggest that I pay the $50 and fight for the housing or what do you think I should do?

[@TaylorLoraine143]

Bennie Junior There’s a slight chance that you could get housing since so many people get purged by the financial aid office and withdrawal. But, just to be safe, I’d search for off-campus housing since the deposit is non-refundable

[@Bennyson_T]

Tailored Taylor okay thank you for the advise.... I will look into it and reach you if I need help if that's cool with you

[@mayaedwards8088]

Sisssss what is your social media? I need to DM you ASAP!
