Yes, I thought it was unusual too. I think one of the guidance counselors had something to do with it. I'on know how in the hell else they just found me out of all these other students. Granted, I was the top black student in my school (I graduated 23 out of close to 400 people). The rest of my transcript was bananas. My dad also had a scholarship set up at NCCU. But after I found out that Hampton was an HBCU, I just said "no" and let it go. I'd already applied to UNC and gotten in, and that's where I wanted to go. The only reason I went to A&T is because my parents underhandedly did some Sh*t. I'd gone out of the country for the summer and came back in July. When I got back they made me fill out an application for A&T and said that there was a chance of a full ride there. I filled it out figuring that it was waaaaaaaaay too late for me to get accepte, let alone get a full ride. Little did I know that they knew I was coming... my uncle (who has influence in the Engineering Dept) found out about a scholarship that hadn't been offered to anyone yet, and told them to hold it for me. At any rate, my application was taken by hand to the Chancellor's office and signed by him and the scholarship was mine on the same day. That is how I was duped into coming here... Had I known then what I know now, I prolly would have ended up at Hampton, or possibly at FAMU.
Hampton, a lil bigger than your HS?? :lol: I went to one of the top 5 largest High schools in NC, and it wasn't a third of HIU's size. How many students did your school have? Hampton (the largest private HBCU) is bigger than the overwhelming majority of HBCUs and larger than many small towns, so don't even try that one bruh- u know im the resourceful guru on here, LOL. I will admit A&T is much bigger, but where did you get 13,000 students from???? T's total enrollment is right at 10,000, you can check your own website on that one for 2004, as well as meacsports.com confirming.
In 2003, there were only

In 2003, there were only
191 students at Hampton from NC out of 5800 students total, ranking # 7 out of all states, even Georgia beat NC out. But I wonder how many did NCA&T have from NC :?: You did man up and admit tho that most of your hometown peeps ended up goin to T.
Damn shame how you were tricked like that!
You're not the first aggie I have heard get in that way through their parents. Must be that AGGIE PRIDE heh! not picking, thats good, Hamptonians need to start forcing our children to go. :lol:
Sounds like you were/are very bright, now I see why HIU was after you, but we still have the best and the brightest (including the alums) :wink:
I was going off of the reported numbers for this upcoming 2004-2005 year for my population statistics, which you'll see comes out to be 13000 and some change. Come on now... as much as I whip out the numbers on people, you really think I'm screw up on my own? Take into account how many students don't live on campus there and you'll probably end up with half that 5800 living on campus. A&T has roughly 6000-8500. If my high school had damn near 2000 people going there, we got a problem... :? I actually have to make an effort

That is true. But that doesnt mean that students there aren't smart
From what ive been told, Morgan has a good Engineering Program and i know my school has the best Nursing school in the State of Louisiana
