You sound just like me when I was in high school. I was PRESSED to get to Howard and all my friends knew it, lol. But I agree, you should never put all your eggs in one basket. You should apply to Hampton as your safety school Laugh

Funny thing is, I really am applying to Hampton as my "if-I-just-so-happen-not-to-get-accepted-to-Howard" school

I'm also considering to apply to Howard as well. I got a 2.8 gpa and taking the SAT in OCT. I was thinking about waiting to apply next semester so I can increase my gpa and take the SAT a couple more times but if I score good on it this time I'm considering Early action. What ya'll think? And is their an advantage to applying early?

If you had a 3.4 or better, or even a 3.0, then I would definitely say go for early action but I'm not too sure about a 2.8...you would have to score GREAT on the SAT to balance out. I would advise waiting until next semester or just apply regular admission. But if you feel confident enough, then go for it! Thumbup

Alright it's like this i got a 3.87 im a black male, number 8 in my class and taking 3 Aphonors college courses, Ap Literature & Composition, Calculus, Pharmacy Tech. And i took the Act last year and made a 21. I'm taking the SAT next week. Do you guys still think i can apply for early action and send in my test scores later

Because of your 3.8 GPA and AP courses, I would say you should definitely apply early action. Jamaican Shawty, if your grades, test scores and classes are similar to danotorious1jd then you should apply early action also. It's ultimately up to the two of you. You SHOULD get in early action but if both of you apply regular admission, then I think you both would get in.
