Does Howard University accept applications on a rolling basis?

I'm thinking about applying to Howard University and need to know if they employ rolling admissions. How might this affect my planning and the timing of my application submission?

Howard University does not follow a rolling admissions policy. Instead, it uses a regular decision deadline, which is typically in early February. With a regular decision process, all applications are assessed after the application deadline has passed. Then, decisions are typically released in late March or early April.

This means you will have to ensure that your application is complete and submitted by the deadline for it to be considered. It's a good idea to have your test scores, essays, recommendations, and any other necessary documents ready ahead of time. Given the February deadline, you might also want to apply to other universities with earlier admission decisions (such as those with rolling admissions or early decision options) so you aren't left waiting until the spring to find out where you were accepted. Remember to keep monitoring your email and the admissions portal for updates after you've submitted your application.
