HAHAHA, I had a similar experience. Everytime I’d tell someone they would be like “what’s Spelman” while when I went to an information session they all were attending ivy league graduate schools. But you probably didn’t get any scholarships because if your african american and you apply to HBCU’s it’s harder for you to get in with money, then let’s say an asian person. This is also the same with non-HBCU’s, it may be easier for you to get scholarships because of your URM (under-represented minority) status, while a non-URM student may not. That’s what I think. I too haven’t seen the campus, the pictures look gorgeous but I’m planning on visiting if I get accepted (which I expect) but whatevs. For Howard, I did see the campus last week when I went to the March for Life, it’s gorgeous but I didn’t have time to see the classrooms. it does happen to be in a “ghetto” region (lol), that’s what the students like to call it, but then again DC in itself is beautiful so you don’t have to stay on campus all the time. Hope that helped!

p.s. try visiting during feb. vacation to Howard, since it’s closer, Idk about Spelman bc those plane tickets are expensive! Good Luck!
