Official high school transcript that shows your cumulative grade point average and class rank (from 9th-11th grade) Standardized test scores One letter of recommendation from a teacher One letter of recommendation from a counselor Admission essay I would also recommend a minimum 3.0 GPA, 1050 SAT and 23 ACT Campus Life and Dorms: Men can live in Drew, Carver, Slowe, Meridian, East and West Towers and Cook Hall. Most freshmen live in Drew and Carver and the best dorms are Cook and the East Towers. Girls live in the Quad and the Annex. Campus life is great and consists of Sports, Marching Band, Greek Letter Organizations, Honor Fraternities, State Clubs, Campus Pals, The Hilltop Newspaper, Black Pride Organizations, Gospel Choir, Fashion Council and Homecoming Steering Committee. There is MORE than enough to get into at HU. Good luck with the rest of your research and I hope that helps!

If you are a rising senior looking to apply to Howard in the fall of 2007 then I dont think you will be accepted with a 2.4 GPA. The minimum GPA for admission is a 2.5...You MIGHT want to try applying in the fall and sending Howard your improved GPA (if your GPA improves) in the spring. That MIGHT work, but thats stretching it, even if you took AP classes or not...
