1) Admissions for Spelman, there is a 34% acceptance rate according to princetonreview.com, and I can believe it. 2) I am not a psychology major, but Dr. Bernice King (the late Rev. Dr. King's sister) is a professor in that department. Rumor has it that psychology is the easiest major at Spelman, but the long theses these ladies have to write I would beg to differ. Class sizes are small, except for labs for the pre-med students, those tend to be larger. 4)The people at Spelman: Students: Friendly and open, the advice I give is you have to be a sister first to receive the sisterhood. If you come expecting everyone to kiss your behind like some girls, it won't happen. But if you come and you genuinely want to be there the whole school will open up to you. Professors: You can always talk to your professors on a professional and personal level. They care about our future and how we are doing in and out of school. Admin: Depends on who you know and the situation. Me personally, I love the Deans' Office, Admissions Office, and Study Abroad. Others do sometimes have attitudes, but they are in the minority. 5) Dorms: Like most hbcus most of the freshman dorms do not have a/c. However, if you apply and gain admission into the honor's program, you will stay in the dorm with a/c. Because we cannot pledge until sophomore year, our dorms are like our sororities. You have greek dorm names and colors, as well as dorm parties, stroll teams, etc. The biggest events of the year are: Morehouse-Spelman Homecoming (fashion show, rnb concert, hip-hop concert, football game, coronation-the dance, and tailgate) Pretty/Nasty- Omega Psi Phi and Kappa Alpha Psi greek party during homecoming Spelman-Morehouse Christmas Concert Freshman Stepshow And probates The social scene is pretty quite on campus we do most of our partying off campus and at local ATL clubs. If you need further help we have "A Day in Your Life At Spelman" in the fall for interested students with premed focuses. As well as "Spel-bound" in the Spring for accepted students. I definately recommend having a tour of each school. Best of wishes

There is a system for how they accept applications. I suggest applying early notification (without binds) this way they see your application first. Applying earlier is always better. Also the Admissions Office may be implimenting an interview portion for students that are in the middle range for acceptance. Also they take into account your grading scale, so do not worry. For your application I suggest applying with the Common Application. This way you can use the same application when applying to other schools. I did this and was able to use the same essay question for all of the schools to which I applied. The only con, is that I do not think the Common Application has an option for the honors program. And Community service always looks good. If you get 30 more hours you may be eligible for the Bonners Scholarship, which pays full tuition (?, I am not exactly sure about the room and board).

^^ Call to make sure that that is the new application. Sometimes they change the essay. I still say take the SAT in October, and mark down to have Spelman recieve your test scores. You should be fine, I did the same thing. Think about it this way, you can enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas without the worry about your application. Also look out for the GATES MILLENIUM SCHOLARSHIP.
