Thats great, I wish I would receive a full scholarship, but these little ones will do for now. I think you made a very good decision, because howard is just as great but now it is even better because it is free! How does Howard determine who gets scholarships because I have been hearing a lot of people saying they got one.?
Its based off GPA and ACT/SAT scores. But its weird because not everybody who qualifies gets one. Like my friend turned in her application before mine ( we both did Early Action ) and has a higher ACT score ( 30, and I had 28 ) but she didn't get a scholarship.

My Spelman story... LOL Well, like I said previously, I have been stalking my mailman for the last few days. So I was like if April 1st is Wednesday the letter should be here by Friday or Saturday. So Friday I'm rushing home from school and I see nothing but small envelopes...so I take the mail out look through it and realize that there is still nothing from Spelman... the suspense builds... So, Saturday afternoon I make plans with some friends to go out for lunch somewhere, but I know I'm not going anywhere until the mailman comes...so they're all calling me and rushing me and I'm like "nope!!! not leaving until the mailman comes...lol Sooooo, as the suspense builds and all of these thoughts are running through my mind...such as, "if it's small I'm not opening it!!!" So, I'm laying on my couch in my pj's with my rag on my head and I hear the motor from the mailman's truck... I immediately jump up and barge through the front door and down the steps to the box...the mailman is cracking up but telling me not to worry because around this times a lot of students camp out at their mail boxes... sooooooooooooooooooo, I close my eyes and let him drive off...I go to the mailbox and open it and I see this big envelope with blue writing on it..so I smile, because it's from Spelman... runnn in the house, open it...first word: "Congratulations!" I GOT IN!!! I have been waiting for this letter for almost a year now and it's finally here! I want to hear some of your stories, because I'm sure you have some!

OMG, I am so glad you got in. Hopefully I see you there. Well, I live in CT so I assume it will take longer to get to me but I am def stalking the mailbox anyway. I refuse to open mine as well if it is small. I just might cry. Anyways good luck to all and tell us about when you get your decisions lol.
