I got into a lot of school but now I'm really thinkng about applying to howard. Is it to late to apply they have such a great communications program and many other things. On the other hand I could always transfer to howard. Does anybody know if they have rolling admissions?

YES, missbison2011....I like you! And just to piggyback off what you said, Capital Hill is a GREAT place to intern. If any student is interested in politics/government/law then Washington, DC is the best place to study.

I didn't go to Pre-O and had a perfect schedule...all the classes I wanted and at the perfect time... so don't worry about it...oh but i didn't wake up early on registration day but some people won't be able to register for class during early registration for freshmen because 1. no medical forms 2. no math placement test 3. some odd excuse or mysterious hold on your account so make sure your prerequisites are taking care of and you should be fine...look on your school's website now for your freshmen scheme and email your advisor the classes you are thinking about taking- i took 16 and it wasn't bad at all.. communications major = please sign up from School of C orientation because its for all in the school of c and you must have it to graduate! (oh and its only like 120 spots )
