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!

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...

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

I was also talking to many of the students and they said they barely see Dr. Tatum ("It's a celebrity seeing") Anyway, I love Spelman regardless of who I see.

I have been looking into the outside scholarship thing but i cant commit to a school without being certain of where i stand. I thought i might have gotten money form them because i got into the honors program and got invited to join WiSTEM(wasnt a science or math major so i couldnt do it) but at this point i cant deal with it anymore the deadline is coming up really soon and my mom wont let me enroll to 2 schools...sigh... if i dont hear anything by this weekend im going to commit to howard on monday. Thanks for the support though

LMAOOOOOOOO I didn't even apply to those schools... I said, "IFFFF" I were to get full-rides from those schools I would turn them down to go to Spelman... In my opinion there's nothing like the black college experience!
