aight, all this talk admissions has been giving me about having a full scholarship to FAMu.....
I applied to the university the first week of January. On January 22, i received correspondence that i was eligible for a full ride, and would b sent certification within 3 weeks to sign whether or not i accepted the award. Its now March 15, and I have yet to receive an acceptance letter OR a certification for my scholarship. :evil:
So i try to call the university and see whats up. I've been calling Office of Admissions for 2 1/2 SKRAIT WEEKS and get a busy sig each time. I called Recruitment n Scholarships, and get told that the computer system was down in the office, and there are stacks and stacks of applications not even LOOKED THROUGH yet, and there was a good chance mine could b in that stack. She couldn't even find the certification for my scholarship in HER files. I try to FAX this ho somethin, and she gave me the WRONG NUMBER!
So finally i get in touch with the music Dept. and explain my dilemma to this work-study chick. She's like, "Don't worry about it, my freshman year I applied in December and didn't get accepted til June."
I don't want to put down hundreds in deposit fees at other schools f i don't even know where i stand with THIS one, my FIRST CHOICE, the FIRST school i applied to!!!!!!! how i get offered a scholarship if they don't even know if i'm accepted yet?
makin me wonder do i realllllly wanna go here......
did anyone else have to deal with screwups like this?

The exact same thing happened to me. I received a letter from FAMU in February offering me a full scholarship, BUT I hadn't even applied there. I hadn't really even considered FAMU.
Univ. of Maryland was my first choice. But because they were offering me a scholarship, I APPLIED THE NEXT DAY. I visited and everything, but I didn't find out if I was officially accepted til about April.
YOU ARE ACCEPTED. Believe me. If they offer you a scholarship they are not going to reject you applicatiom (That is unless you have some skeletons in your closet.)
Don't worry. I KNOW first hand how frustrating it can be dealing with some of FAMUs employees. BUT BE HAPPY because they are making a lot of changes... a lot employees are being let go right now.
shiii...I guess I'll be sending my applications in to my choices in like...October this fall lol...
Haha.. :lol: ... And you would think the earlier you send in your application, the earlier you would get a response. NOT TRUE!
What Nahd says is true about accepting it or not. BUT WHY ARE WE FORCED TO ACCEPT WHEN WE ARE WHAT KEEPS THESE BUSINESSES RUNNING? I think they just need to get their sh*t together. The lack of organization is what is stunting the success of most black institutions (as well as employing some people who are inept beyond belief).
