Man this is not how you start off the new year! I've been waiting for my letter to come back from Howard just like everyone else. I called up there and they said I should recieve something by Christmas. Christmas came and when and still nothing. I called up there Friday and the lady talking about some,"well we have your application fee but the rest of your info. isn't in the system." WTF! How can i put everything in the same DAMN envelope but the only thing they can seem to find is the CHECK! Talking about someone should call me by Monday. Knowing damn well aint no work getting done over the weekend. Has this happened to anyone else and if it did what was the outcome. Cuz I am STRESSING.

Okay....First of all, you are experiences one of the first lessons of Howard University (or any HBCU). *psst* *psst*....Listen very carefully.....YOU MUST BE PATIENT!! I understand how you are very excited about applying to college and want to get accepted to such a prestigous university 8) ....your story is almost very typical of applicants.....but believe me....i've heard worse!! But like I said, you must be patient!!! You (along w/ ur parents) should call again and verify that 1, they have recieved your application along with your app. fees, 2, ask if you have been accepted yet (sometimes they can tell you over the phone), and then ask if they have sent out a letter. BUT YOU GOTTA NAG NAG NAG NAG NAG THEM. I'm sure that you have gotten accpeted, they just havent sent out the info. Hang in there. If you have any questions....holla at cha boi. 8)
