Well if your going to have to take out major loans anyway i would definitely say take them out for spelman. I called the financial aid department at spelman today and it seems like im going to howard. They said that their scholarships have been mailed and anyone getting a scholarship would have already received an email telling them so. And since i didnt i think im gonna go to howard. I love spelman but no school is worth the debt if i dont have to take it. Did they emntion anything about scholarships at Spelbound anyone??

Only thing they said about scholarships is that if someone decides to make the bad decision (Dr. Tatum said that lol) and turn down Spelman's offer for a scholarship and enrollment then it would be moved to the next qualified person. She also said if you work hard the first two years at least it is very possible to be put on a full-ride scholarship... I'm taking my chances...

When I got home I told my mama that Harvard, Vanderbilt, Yale, and Princeton can all off me full-rides and Spelman not offer me a dime and I would still go to Spelman and take out a loan, because it is worth the experience... so all in all....I FREAKING LOVED IT!! We had two parties, the talent show turned into a huge party, and then when we got back to the dorm everybody was still hype so we brought out the boom boxes! lol Were you there?

u got into harvard, vanderbilt, princeton and yale?!?!?! WOW!!

I was there at Spel-bound for the begininng. I was supposed to stay in Bessie Strong and the hostess I had was named Mandisa Bell. She was really cool and she made everything fun. The church service was really diverse. They had a mime ministry, African dancing and a great sermon. I was so upset when I had to leave. (Connecticut is sooo far) ~TEAR~ Anyways, I can't wait to start school. I also attending the freshman stepshow that friday and got a shoutout from a guy at morehouse....HEHE lol. I love Spelman College!

That kind of pisses me off cause they're not lettine people know before the enrollment deadline. I dont think i got a scholarship cause someone in finacial aid told me that scholarships notifications have already gone out through email. so if u got a scholarship you would have been notified already. i REALLy wanted to go to spelman so bad but i guess it just didnt work out
