I applied in November of 07 with a 30 act, so i don't know if that late part could be the answer lol. I shouldn't completey hate on Spelman's Financial aid department. They do have some scholarships- They have the Presidential Scholarship ( 5 students receive it ), The Dean Scholarship (65 students receive it) and The Bonner Scholarship (community service oriented scholarship). Spelman's endowment is one of the highest out of all the HBCU'S ($291,604,536). Finances aren't extremely tight.They just like holding on to their money. My mom used to say "Where there's a will, there's a way" APPLY TO SPELMAN! You never know what could happen!. You might get that presidential scholarship which includes full tuition, fees, and on-campus room and board for four years. I sincerely wish you the best of luck!

1) Admissions for Spelman, there is a 34% acceptance rate according to princetonreview.com, and I can believe it. 2) I am not a psychology major, but Dr. Bernice King (the late Rev. Dr. King's sister) is a professor in that department. Rumor has it that psychology is the easiest major at Spelman, but the long theses these ladies have to write I would beg to differ. Class sizes are small, except for labs for the pre-med students, those tend to be larger. 4)The people at Spelman: Students: Friendly and open, the advice I give is you have to be a sister first to receive the sisterhood. If you come expecting everyone to kiss your behind like some girls, it won't happen. But if you come and you genuinely want to be there the whole school will open up to you. Professors: You can always talk to your professors on a professional and personal level. They care about our future and how we are doing in and out of school. Admin: Depends on who you know and the situation. Me personally, I love the Deans' Office, Admissions Office, and Study Abroad. Others do sometimes have attitudes, but they are in the minority. 5) Dorms: Like most hbcus most of the freshman dorms do not have a/c. However, if you apply and gain admission into the honor's program, you will stay in the dorm with a/c. Because we cannot pledge until sophomore year, our dorms are like our sororities. You have greek dorm names and colors, as well as dorm parties, stroll teams, etc. The biggest events of the year are: Morehouse-Spelman Homecoming (fashion show, rnb concert, hip-hop concert, football game, coronation-the dance, and tailgate) Pretty/Nasty- Omega Psi Phi and Kappa Alpha Psi greek party during homecoming Spelman-Morehouse Christmas Concert Freshman Stepshow And probates The social scene is pretty quite on campus we do most of our partying off campus and at local ATL clubs. If you need further help we have "A Day in Your Life At Spelman" in the fall for interested students with premed focuses. As well as "Spel-bound" in the Spring for accepted students. I definately recommend having a tour of each school. Best of wishes
