Chances for Spelman

The middle 50% of accepted students have a math score of 490-570, a verbal score between 500-580, and an ACT score between 21-25. The avg acceptance rate is 33% which makes it a highly competitive school.

According to those stats, an ACT score of 26 puts you in the 25% percentile for applicants. That's a great start.

Good Luck Girlies!

I hope that they actually do realize I have a good head on my shoulders, although I made some mistakes my freshman year with school!
UGHHHH
Hopefully they'll look at how much I have overcame, because that's where I'm set on attending.

I go to visit at the end of this month, so I'm excited. I can ask a lot of questions then.

A lot of folks tell me that I don't have anything to worry about because my resume' is solid, but yet I'm still nervous.
Your pretty solid, too!
Which is great, because I wish nothing but the best for a strong black sistah!
lol
I hope I see you at the top (SPELMAN)

09!

yea we do have pretty solid resumes and i feel like even if we dont have 4.0s, if we show that we are involved in our school and community they'll see that and the grades would just b a plus, like if they see ur taking AP classes it shows that you are challenging urself and yet ur still able to maintain a 3.0 and a commitment to activities. im just worried cause i know there are going to b alot of applicants and i just hope i stand out. dont worry, come jan, or june we'll b posting a thread saying "yay! we got into Spelman..now all we need is money.lol"

I think taking a visit in person is the best option. However, if you want to view Spelman College via Satellite, I recommend using Google earth. You can take a look at the campus and its surroundings. If you don’t have Google earth, you can download it for free via the link below. Just click the button labeled “download google earth 4.3”

I really appreciates all of the feedback. . .
very much needed. . .

Now, I must question it a little bit more. . .

How beautiful/or not so beautiful is the campus?
How are the dorms?
How does Spelman interact with the other AUC schools?
Life on campus?
Free time things to do?
Food?
Parties? (I shall live my college experience to the fullest!!!)

I don't attend yet, but I've talked to alot of students

The campus is beautiful, but the area outside of the gates is not that great

The housing is not the best. All freshman dorms besides LLCI don't have AC. Everyone takes pride in their dorm. There's a strong sisterhood in the freshman dorms. HH Phi Beta and Manley Omega Nu have a little beef lol.

I've heard that Spelman and Clark girls don't get along , but hopefully that'll change a bit.

The food in the cafeteria is pretty bad, but your in atlanta so you'll have plenty of places to go eat if you get tired of the same ole thing in the caf.

There's plenty of things to do during your free time. People go adventure around Atlanta and hang out with their friends in the AUC

My hostess said that there are parties EVERY weekend. There are shuttles that take students from the AUC to local clubs. Some students even have their own party promotion companies ie Hittsquad, YRD,
