I'm applied to Marquette University, and University of Wisconsin-Parkside, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Well since im from atlanta and attending FAMU for undergrad, i probably just stay in florida and go to the Univeristy of Miami for grad school. I also thought about UCLA and Notre Dame...maybe Harvard! :lol:
The only white school I'am considering applying to is LSU and that's only if I want to stay at home. But I like the atmosphere that a HBCU offers.
Actually, I'm kind of in Shauna's predicament...right now I've applied to Emory University and I'll probably apply to Agnes Scott College, here in the ATL, but I've also applied to Spelman and am getting my Howard application together. At first I was kind of afraid of the reputation that HBCU's had compared to some PWIs, but I know that Spelman and Howard in particular are well known schools -- their names are better-known than ASC, even.
Right now my top two choices are Spelman and Emory, but I'm not sure which one I want to go to. I'm in love with both of them, but something about Spelman resonates deep within me...as corny as that sounds...I spent this afternoon reading these college books, and all of them had nothing but praise for Spelman (and the AUC), while Emory got a little of both. And all the alumnae from Spelman seemed to have loved it, but Emory's graduates have mixed feelings.
I really think I want to go to an HBCU, though...the nurturing environment surrounding it is wonderful. Plus, what's gonna happen when I need someone to wrap my hair or use that curling iron?!
What books are you reading ? What "mixed" feelings do the Emory graduates have ?
I am currently attending a public university (which is white). I want to attend an HBCU, but my pockets just won't let me at the moment.....You will hear different stories from different people about the amount of respect degrees from HBCU's receive, etc., etc. But don't let that stop you. If you have the skills and you're qualified, they have to recognize that. Besides SO many people cheat their way through school or barely pass....so the degree doesnt really mean anything once it is put to the test. It may give u a few pts. and it may not...but once u get there u still have to prove yourself just like the next person. (Thatz just my opinion) But if the money is there i will be attending an HBCU for grad. school.
University of North Carolina
Central Michigan University
THE ONLY WHITE SCHOOL I AM CONSIDERING NOW IS VALDOSTA STATE AND UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA. I GUESS THAT WAS 2 HUH?
