I plan on applying early action to Howard and I have a visit on the 25th but to get that was really hard. I called and I called and when i finally got someone on the phone, they weren't even interested or cared that I was really interested in attending there. I don't want to take it personal, but it's really bugging me cause I got all these other "white" schools giving me scholarships and calling my house to speak to me but my heart is totally towards Howard! Im so confused! Someone help me!
ok as an HU student let me give it to ya straight...technically at those other schools they dont really care about you , you are just basically a minority to increase their minority population so they can look like a "diverse community", hint* without affirmative action they most likely would not want you in the first place....WITH THAT said, howard still should not be rude, but heck join the crowd...they were rude to me and others before me but through all that I found out that just the administration has an attitude...but the majority of the students, teachers, etc are hecka cool and you only have to deal with the administration for a short time....and plus at Howard it is such a diverse amount of black experiences, culture, opinions...well heck you just need to visit and basically you shouldnt let the administrationOF ANY COLLEGE shape your decision, notre dame was nice to me administration-wise, but when I went all the teachers AND STUDENTS(majority white students *sigh) thought I was the typical stereotypical athlete from the projects :roll:
some teacher even asked me "how did you survive academically being from the ghetto??"...and aint no true ghettos in south georgia lol

That's the main reason I didn't attend Howard. On my college tours, NCCU, Morehouse, FAMU, and Xavier made you feel like you were home.
I felt @ home when I visited Howard.....minus the fact that lady embrassed the HELL outta me in the cafe!!
I was in DC for a week...and we didn't get to visit Howard til that Thursday I had fun the whole week but @ the same time I was sooo **** cuz I was like damn is the day over yet....come on Thursday...
If you reaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllly wanna go to Howard I know you will enjoy your visit....I sure did...I felt at home....It was one of the best feelings I'd had in a while...but hey...thats just me
I'm gonna visit the campus in January when our class goes up there for the Close Up Program...If they sell Howard 'nalia in the bookstore...im stockin up on Howard gear...shirts, hats and anything else they got

Sweetie I am having the EXACT same problems with these hbcus. The difference between you and I is that I have yet to get in contact with someone at Howard. I have called, emailed, left messages, wrote and still no reply. I felt as if I practically had to beg Spelman for some information, let alone get scholarship information. Hampton did me the same way. So, when I saw their booth at out annual college night I expressed my feelings toward hbcus. The alumni kept saying sorry and promised to get me information. In the end I have been offered a $7500yr scholarship so far and I haven't even applied yet. However, I won't believe it until I see it in writing. The funny thing about my whole college selection process is how all these pwis have been sending me information since the beginning of my junior year last year. Even schools all across the country I have never heard of are included in these pilings. So, I don't know what to tell you. Growing up attending pwi's I always wanted the HBCU "experience" since I don't know what it's like to be around African-Americans. Now, I highly doubt it :roll:
