My son just shared with me that he is probably joining his sister, @havingfunyet, and @MomofThree80’s kids at Howard University. My son will share with Morehouse his overall package from Howard to see if Morehouse “adjusts” their offer, but he very much at peace with how things turned out. Since the last competitive scholarship virtual Selection Weekend is for a STEM cohort full ride at Howard, there is no pressure on him. He has also applied to some smaller outside scholarships and we will see if he gets any thing extra in the next 2 months.
I want to say thank you to those on this thread who have been very supporting and have rooted for my son during this journey. I can not wait to hear the final results for the rest of you and good luck. We are all almost done!
