I am currently a junior in high school and interested mostly in these three colleges. My gpa unweighted is 3.1 and wieghted is a 3.3. I just recently took the SAT and got a 1090 on it. I plan on taking it again, but for students currently enrolled in these colleges, could you please tell me your gpa (weighted and unweighted), SAT score, and how much financial aid you recieved. Finally if you all think I can get a full ride anywhere, even though I'm not opposed to writing essays for scholarships, I would rather get a full-ride. Any information is greatly appreciated.
P.S.-I just came back from a college tour that visited all of theses colleges except FAMU. Also can anyone tell me about Hampton University's Virginia Beach College. Their website isn't informative at all. Do they have dorms, or do you have to commute everyday. Do you apply separately to it or just to Hampton. Thanks again.

Hey, I don't attend any of those but I can tell u a lil' somethin'
HU Schols=SAT > 1170/ACT > 25 and GPA > 3.00; or class rank = 1 or 2.
**plus others depending on major / dept.
FAMU = Pres. Special Schol.=3.0/1000SAT; George W. Gore Jr.=3.0/1110-1190SAT
Tusk.--not to familiar w/ what they offer but I do know that u can go 2 their web(tuskegee.edu),click Future students,scroll dn 2 Outside Schols. (about a list of 100+ schols.--just take the time to do the research, lol it's well worth it!)
Also contact ea. website & fin.aid/ admissions off. 4 extra info.
*Also pick up the Princeton Review SAT 2003 or 2004 review bk this summ. & study it
**1 tip I found out was despite the myth of only answering what u know, u only get graded out of what you answer--ex:if u ans.600 worth of verbal & 700 math ur max. score is 1300-- Basically Answ. ALL Quest. even if it's a wild guess, u might get lucky and get it right either way it will be graded out of the whole 1600 ya feel me? (I know I increased my score by 230pts.(betwn. Nov & Dec.) w/ this tip & the verbal was the hardest part for me but the guessing paid off-I scored higher on the vb than the math)

Thanks a lot man. I'm going to definitely get the Princeton Review Book, because you are like the 5th person to mention it to me. Thanks.
Bowie State min GPA requirement - 2.0 SAT 900 ACT 19
In high school I had a 2.5 GPA and a 930 on the SAT
This is when I entered in 2002 though, and I have heard the requirements were being raised a little because of the rise of applicants lately.
