^^^ You have a point Highlander...How you gonna go to A&T talking bout you want to get away from NC folks?
A&T has about 13000 people that go here from various states. The school is large enough that if I don't wanna see somebody, I'on have to see them. Hampton on the other hand is a little larger than my high school... :? But its not NC people I wanna get away from, just the idiots from my hometown. Too many of them were tryin to get into Hampton, even though most ended up going here.

Hampton did ALL THAT? LOL, well I don't think that is usual at all. You must have been very exceptional though, I will give you that.
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 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! Sad

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 not to be seen by the people from my hometown as it is, which pretty hard, since I know most of the people here.... God foirbid I should be at HIU. :roll: Granted, like I said before, most of the black folks from my graduating class came to A&T anyway, but even the thought of people applying to that school was enough to makr me cringe... :? Its okay though... my folks are gonna pay for this when I go to Southern for grad school...
