Is it easy to get into a HBCU school?

Question

I've been looking at univ. Such as Clark Atlanta and South Carolina State and noticed that you don't really need a high GPA to be accepted. Yet a school like Spelmsn you need a pretty high GPA. Any advice?

Answer 1

That's because there is a quality continuum for HBCUs, just as there are for universities in general.  Some are more prestigious than others.  My advice would depend on where you are in high school.  If you still have time, do as well as you possibly can so that you have more options.  You will have far more opportunities coming out of Spelman than you would if you graduated from Clark Atlanta or South Carolina State.
