So let me get this straight: you have a cumulative GPA of 2.4 and you are worried about whether or not you will fit in? You need to be more worried about whether or not you will GET in. Let me stop....I'm about to say more than I need to....

So, I'm guessing you took offense to the whole "ghetto" thing, right? & that's why you're saying this to vent? It's okay. Whatever.

I am applying to Howard University this fall; Early Action! Whew! I am really, really preppy. I talk proper, i wear hollister, american eagle yada yada yada. I was wondering, considering that HU is a historically black college, how would I fit in? Are there other girls who are similar to me there?

Wow, I am going to be attending Howard as a transfer sophomore in the Spring. I have to say, that I am completely taken aback that a person that is so shallow will even be attending college, but I suppose I am contradicting myself in this regard. Maybe a little reality check wil do you good. I hail from both Brooklyn, NY and South Carolina. I can read, lol. I read philosophy, KANT DESCARTES, etc. I can also teach a "preppy" girl like you how to play Celo, feel me? So this whole notion of categorizing Black people is exactly why going to an HBCU might benefit you. Think that many Caucasians classify us in many negative ways, and know that your heritage is much too beautiful to be classified by those negative connotations. Peace, sister.
