<p>We were at a huge college fair. Walked up to the Morehouse table and the rep was basically yelling at the woman in front of us “you gotta meet the minimums.” Jeez, I thought, that was brutal.</p>
<p>It came to our turn. I asked about their legacy program. Some schools require you apply ED for this to count. Some schools only count parents; some count grandparents, etc. Meaning it varies and I wanted to know the Morehouse policy.</p>
<p>The guy looks at me like I’m nuts. “Why should it matter if your father went here?” he asks me. I politely tell him that most (if not all) private schools have some sort of legacy policy and I just wanted to confirm that of Morehouse. At which point he starts to yell at me “You gotta meet the minimums.” He doesn’t know my son. He has no idea whether this kid is a NMS or barely scraping through school. What is this guy’s problem? Needless to say Morehouse is off of DS’s list. Their loss-- he is a great kid. and a great student OH-btw the “minimums” were 950/1600 SAT and a 2.5 GPA.</p>
