@jolealea Hey! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. I applied on March 3rd (using the common app) and I am planning to mail out an engineering portfolio on Monday. I have not received a response yet so I am really nervous as I wait haha. Howard is where I need to be. If I am going to become a future owner of a Black owned business/company that manufactures in prosthetics, orthopedic and surgical supplies, Howard is where I need to be so that I may be around brilliant, passionate, and motivated people who look like me and are likeminded. I want to create relationships for future networking so that together we will be able to put money back into, as well as build, the Black community.

Congratulations on your acceptance!! And yes, D.C is a bit expensive. The struggle is real! Especially when it comes time to pay for tuition and fees (I believe for HU it’s about 38,000/yr). Hopefully you decide to go. I have yet to step foot in the school, as I am a few states down, but I have absolutely NO DOUBT when I say, the opportunities and experiences you will receive from an HBCU are not replicable. I love hearing the different stories about what people have sacrificed for the cap and gown of their HBCU and how it was all worth it. Of course you will miss your loved ones—unless you already live in the MD, DC, or VA areas but… I’m telling you, there is nothing like an HBCU. Good luck with everything!
