<p>My guess is that you chose Howard because of the low average stats. As you know, it is a HBC and the medical school has a high percentage of African Americans (who, on average, have lower stats). The entrance requirements for a non-African American may or may not be low.</p>
<p>The biggest issue with Howard is that its mission isn’t to train neurosurgeons or anesthesiologists. It looks for people who want to do primary care in underserved communities. While you can of course still apply for neurosurgery residency, the environment and opportunities can’t conducive to it. You wouldn’t be a good fit for the school.</p>
