I just joined HBCU Connect so I'm a little new to this whole thing.. Spelman is ABSOLUTELY my dream school!! I completed my application this weekend for early notification & im EXTREMLY nervous about getting in.. my credentials are DECENT but i'm still a little scared SAT Score-1630 G.P.A-3.34 (I know, horrible) 7 A.P's (I've doubled up in maths and sciences) 200+ hrs of community service 3 reccomendations (haha i know, a bit much) Hampton had been my first choice for the past couple of years but right now my passion is Spelman

yeap she emailed me like a day before it was at rtiz carlton hotel, there wasn't alot of girls there b/c of the weather though she pretty much answered questions like campus life, academics etc... it was nice and some ppl stayed to talk to her privately she even went to my friend's school in baton rouge
SC was supposed to be at the National College fair a few weeks ago in BR, but they cancelled...i think im going to find out if they're coming back to La myself

that's how i felt about my act scores... mannnn it's some stiff competition that is applying there, i think its really gonna come down to the essay...because everybody is so evenly matched

I'm applying Early Notification because A) NO ONE GETS DENIED. I don't know if you guys know that or not. They will either accept you or move you to the Regular Decision pile and ask for a new ACT, or your January grades. B) I can't imagine waiting until April.
