I really want to go to Howard University in D.C. to major in African Studies and minor in Philosophy. What do you guys think my chances of being accepted are?
My admissions letter is really good and it's 6 pages long. I have letters of recommendation from an English Teacher and a Judge.
The reason for my poor grades is because I've gone through a lot of things these past few years, such as the death of my father and grandmother, living in a homeless shelter, the remarriage of my mother, and attending 4 different schools. What do you think the chances of me being accepted are though?
I'd say you definitely have a shot! Write a good essay and I think you should get some recommendations from your teachers too... Talk to some of the other females on the site that are howard students too...
Yep. Just make sure your application essay is on point. Explain how your experiences made you a stronger, more disciplined person, and you can turn those things into a positive. Good luck!

I'm an Ethiopian-American female.
God says through HIM all things are possible....stay strong and believe.
I see you said here your admissions letter is 6 pages....if you are referring to the essay....isn't that too much? When I applied to HU five years ago (wow) it was definitely 500 words or less...check on that...
