Applying to College African-American Students

</p>

<p>My mom went to Howard and she was extremely upset by the experience she had there. They apparently delayed review of her graduate thesis for FIVE years! Citing a lack of qualified staff. Needless to say, she was not very happy with them.</p>

<p>I actually did not apply to Howard, despite that I’m a double legacy there (mother and grandfather); however, my sister did. My sister liked it because she knew she wanted to go to an HBCU and she loves DC (where my mom’s side of the family lives). But after getting her acceptances, she decided on Spelman because Howard was a bit too close to home (we live in Maryland). Now my sister is back in DC for law school (at Georgetown) and she is really happy she went away for college and came “home” for grad.</p>

<p>I love this forum :slight_smile: ^^ My cousin went to Howard, then she went to Princeton for Grad school [ theology].</p>

<p>Hello friends. I just might get hooked on CC again. Now that D is a freshman, and S is only a high school soph, I’m not heavily into Admissions Mode, but I had forgotten how much fun this is.</p>

<p>Welcome awkward! Hey! We need to have a “One a freshman in college and next is a sophomore in HS thread”! Three years is the perfect interval you know!( well, IMHO). My kids are 3 years apart, almost to the day!! … Not that either was actually planned…</p>
