This article talks about minority groups forming organizations to the exclusion of other and mentioned that (even though whites & others are prohibited from attending)that I found HBCU's to be provential not because they are black but because they have lower admission standards. I mentioned 1200 but after further review to my dismay the admission standard for Spelman which is regarded as an excellent school is 1180 and it just gets worst from their with the exception of Howard which I think is a little higher. UTS the highest combined score of SAT's is 2400 --800 math, 800 verbal, 800 writing-- with the exception of Howard no HBCU even look at the writing score and you are right many traditions schools do not either in which case 1200 is a decent score. But here is my beef and it's doesn't have squat to do with hating all things black, my beef is that I poured thousands upon thousands of dollars into my daughter's education and have accepted nothing less than excellence from her academically since kindergarden and I would expect an institution of higher learning to have HIGH expectations for their incoming students. I placed my kid on a certain trajectory -- she scored close over 1800 on her SAT's yet chooses a school that only required 1180. I know there is more to a school than just the admission standards but I think it's disingenuious for HBCU's to tout themselves as superior institutions but aren't discriminating enough to select superior students. It's that simple. They need to raise the standard & stop lowering the bar.Conservative Black Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447535512847936593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081245598457508568.post-15030056895286875142009-04-10T23:12:00.000-04:002009-04-10T23:12:00.000-04:00Quite a lot of hostility and bigotry there, uptown...Quite a lot of hostility and bigotry there, uptown.<BR/><BR/>If either of my daughters married an ambitious, responsible, loving, and faithful man of any race, I'd be happy.

But, I'm am still not happy that Mini-me has chosen to go to Spelman. Perhaps if the admission requirements were not so "freaking" low, I would feel better. I paid a veritable mint for that child's education. If had known she was going to be shooting for a school which only requires a 1200 SAT score then I would have sent her little butt to Anacostia HS. My trajectory for her was a Pepperdine, Stanford, or Princeton. Oh well...I'm over it now. The HBCU want to regarded as excellent academic institutions but there admission standards are so low that Boo-Boo the fool ranks. That's what turns me off. I find it rather embarrassing. So they aren't provential because they are black schools. They are provential because they have lower expectations for their applicants which implicitly says that Blacks can't meet the higher standard and are therefore "intellectually disadvantaged". So, you understand that after sacrificing, and even struggling financially in order that my kid wouldn't be "intellectually disadvantaged" she chooses to play in that ball park....but, I'm over it now.<BR/><BR/>"<I>Catholic Universities like Villanova or St. John's provinicial?</I><----Do they lower the admission standards for Catholic applicants?
