Anyone? going to Morehouse College in Atlanta tobe in the class of 2009, introduce yourselves!
Im Geraldo Frazer a senior in the Bahamas as my name suggests. Im gonna do a double in biology and economics and im gonna be a residential student...offcourse. Im 16 soon to be 17 and actually rather excited about this August, especially to meet all of the Spellman ladies :d.
I'm going to Morehouse this fall. I'm going to major in Economics (w/Math), minor in Biology, and possibly attend GA Tech for the Biomedical Engineering program. What do you think your first semester schedule will look like? How many economic, biology, chemistry, and math courses have you had and what type have you had? What residential hall did you apply for? What type of career are you looking at?
A classmate of mine is going to Spelman next year.
Yeah i'm Going to Morehouse as well. I think its a good opportunity but i'm hesitant to pass up an opportunity to go to Duke. I wonder when people come out of Morehouse do they come out with a good bearing on the world at large or just the black community?
Im glad you brought that up, and that is my main issue. It is my belief that the way one perceives the world is completely up to that person and while one's environment is an influence, it is never the determining factor. Im going to Morehouse, and, i, in no way plan to leave with a black -centric mindset....i think im stronger than that. However, many other people easily succumb to their environment and are assimilated into the whole black centric state of mind after graduating from Morehouse.
I got a full tutition scholarship but that doesn't cover fees and residential. I also hear that the halls aren't the best. I agree with what you said and I'm pretty sure that I'll learn some things there that I wouldn't learn in the classroom at a regualr school.
SpiNoza: It depends on the particular halls. I know of two that are supposedly excellent while the others are "please don't make me live here" to good.
It's taking them a while to process my financial aid stuff.
Spinoza got full tuition. His stats were probably around a 1200 SAT. The presidential scholars (full tuition, free room and board, no fees) had 1300+ SATs; the highest had around a 1470.
oh thanks ort30, yeah im still waiting for my financial aid too. how can we send in our deposits by may 1st if we havent even gotten financial aid info yet. I still have two other schools that want me to reply by may 1st, but im still holding out for morehouse because its my first choice. did they have some type of orientation this month?
They didn't have any orientations that I know about. They've already given away most of their academic scholarships if not all. They're kind of slow with financial aid.
