This is FYI...
While an undergraduate, many non-Af Ams were entering the school's nursing program. Many Af Am students who had been there since day 1 (orientation class, lyceums, etc) were placed on lists. After many students, parents, etc. brought attention to this matter (not because of race), the nursing dean (non-Af Am/majority) along with the administration had to establish measures where transfer students had to take "x" number of hours BEFORE they could submit any paperwork to be considered for the nursing program.
It's the similar practice with our GLOs. One cannot attend School A during the Fall semester, then transfer to School B in the Spring and expect to submit any paperwork. No, you are integrated into that school culture, FIRST.
Like someone has alread said, you are eligible for minority scholarships @ HBCUs. Too bad, it isn't as easy on the flip side.
I haven't matriculated on a HBCU campus in years (almost 10
) so, it would not surprise me what I would see in the classrooms. I was pleasantly surprised when I learned we had a soccer team.
