Hey jasmineh and HBCUlover! Jasmineh thanks for posting this thread. i'm in the same position as you. i'm going to be a senior this upcoming school year and i also want to apply to Howard early action but like you have yet to take the SAT because of nervousness as well as other reasons. i found out the earliest test date for the SAT this year is sep. 9th so i plan to take the SAT then. Howard is my first choice too. i think the only reason i'm applying to other schools as well is because that's what's expected. HBCUlover, it's too bad your not interested in going to Howard too because you seem like cool people but i don't blame you cuz i'm not tryin to go to college up the street from where i/my parents live either. spelman's not for me (especially since they don't have nursing for a major) but one of my besties wants to go there sooo bad. i should prob. tell her about this website n then you two can talk about spelman or whatever. so yeah but good luck wit all your applications since i see you want to apply to several schools. oh yeah n thanks for all the info about DC anymore would be greatly appreciated. but yeah jasmineh, we gotta make sure we stay on top of those SAT dates (deadlines for registering and test dates n stuff) so we can apply early action to Howard and hopefully get accepted! deuces

Im in the same boat as all of you..I havent took the SAT or ACT yet either and I plan on applying Early Action ( thank u HBCUlover ) to Howard University..But Im not worried about my SAT or ACT scores..Im worried about, if I do get accepted, the cost of attending Howard University..I mean how do u pay a $30,000 tuition for 4 yrs? Well anywayz..Good Luck to everyone and hopefully we will all be attending Howard in the near future..
