Historically Black col- INTRODUCTION ToTheGuide College Guide07-08 9/4/07 3:32 PM Page 4 2007-2008 Guide To Historically Black Colleges & Universities5 leges offer you a quality education in a nurturing environment. These colleges take a strong interest in your growth, development and success both academ- ically and personally. Remember, you can get into college. Aim high, believe you can do it, be persistent in pursuing your goals and soon you will be at one of our nation 9s fine historically Black institutions of higher learning. College Guide07-08 9/4/07 3:32 PM Page 5 62007-2008 Guide To Historically Black Colleges & Universities Location Be honest with yourself. Where do you really think you would be most productive and happiest? Would a col- lege located in a large urban center suit you best, or would a smaller town be better for you? Would a big city with a lot going on enrich your cultural experi- ences or would it offer you too many distractions? Would you do better closer to home so that you can visit frequently, or are you ready to get far enough away from home so that you can test your independence? Remember, the reason you 9re going to college is to get a degree. If you can do so with honors, you 9re going to open even more doors for yourself upon graduation. While personal growth and cultural en- richment should also be high on your list, completionof your degree and good grades must be your utmost concern. College Size Why is college size important? Size willinfluence what is available and what may be of importance to you. A larger university is more apt to offer more courses of study, more schools and colleges within the university sys- tem, a wider selection of advanced de- gree programs and a larger and often more diverse student body as well as faculty. A smaller college will most like- ly be more accessible to you, offer smal- ler class sizes and even more individual- ized attention with possibly more of a family atmosphere. Degrees Offered and Career Goals Do you already have an idea of what your career choice will be upon grad- uation? Then you should select a col- lege based on the areas of study it is most renown for and is strongest. HOWTOCHOOSE ACollegeorUniversity T he choice of a college or university that is best for you must be made wisely because it will greatly influence your future. It also is a good idea to visit the college, if at all possible, prior to your final selection. The fact that you are a graduate of a certain institution will say something about you to future employers and others. Make sure your choice of institution makes a strong and positive statement. Also, when you graduate, you will find that successful alumni of your college will very likely help open doors for you whenever they have an opportunity. Many variables should be considered in your decision, including: location, size, tuition cost, areas of study, and degrees offered. You 9ll want to find out what types of internship programs your university offers or can steer you toward your area of study. You may also want to consider what types of greek letter and community outreach organizations your college has as well as its sports teams, music and the arts for a totally well-rounded experience. College Guide07-08 9/4/07 3:32 PM Page 6 2007-2008 Guide To Historically Black Colleges & Universities7 Find out if the university you are interested in has graduated a high per- centage of professionals in your area of intended study. This may prove to be important for future employers. If these professionals are successful in their communities, that lets you know the university could be an excellent choice for you. Also, these professionals will be part of that helpful alumni network mentioned earlier. What if you haven 9t made up your mind about a career choice? Select a college with a strong liberal arts pro- gram. Also, select a college with a di- verse degree program so that when you do decide on a major, you won 9t be lim- ited by what is available. In selecting an area of study, you 9ll want to talk it over with your parents and guidance counselor. However, it is important to search within yourself for what you really love. Don 9t choose a major just because you think it 9s practical or because someone is pushing you to do it. Work toward a career that allows you to do something you love while using the best of your innate talents. Do you like to debate and have a strong sense of justice? Then perhaps a career as a lawyer is right for you. Are you interested in helping people to become healthy? Then perhaps a career as a doctor would be a good choice. Are you fascinated by the nation 9s economy and how people build wealth? Then perhaps a career in business is best. Do you like to write? Consider becoming a journalist. Are you fascinated by what makes people tick? Then consider a career as a psychologist or psychiatrist. The opportunities for you are limitless. It is good to select a college with a vari- ety of degrees offered even if you feel cer- tain about your career choice. You never know, you might change your mind! Tuition And College Choice A college education is within your reach. Even though financial considerations are important in selecting a university, do not let cost be the determining factor. Often you will find that scholarships and grants are based on financial need; however, many of these programs, that you don 9t have to pay back, are also awarded based on SAT scores, grade point average, class rank and extracur- ricular involvement. Be aware that some scholarships have time limits; they may only contribute toward your education costs for your first year. Therefore, it is imperative to research scholarships fully in order to know their parameters. There are also college loans, offered at low interest rates, to help pay for tuition. A scholar- ship is more desirable than a loan. However, if the loan is what will help you get to college, the investment in your future is worth it. Some students also become part of a work study program. While it is impor- tant not to let a job distract you from your grades, it may also be an opportu- nity to offset some of the financial costs while also teaching you skills you can use to market yourself to future em- ployers. These may be directly related to your chosen career, or may reflect life lessons like discipline, organizational skills and resourcefulness. Read the section on cHow To Apply For Financial Aid d for further informa- tion on these options. College Guide07-08 9/4/07 3:32 PM Page 7 82007-2008 Guide To Historically Black Colleges & Universities W hen is it time to apply to col- lege? Now! Don 9tprocrasti- nate. Make the first step then do what needs to be done. You can begin applying to college in your sophomore year of high school (begin researching the colleges from your freshman year on). The absolute latest you should apply is the early fall of your senior year. First begin nar- rowing your college choices to an aver- age of five that best meet your needs. Contact the colleges that interest you most and have them send you their materials. Now would also be an ex - cellent time to visit the colleges if you are able. In addition to classrooms, be sure to look over the library, dormito- ries, student center, cafeteria or any other special areas. In the full college listing section for each individual university, you will see that we have provided you with a Web site address listed under the telephone number (this is provided for all univer- sities that have a Web site address). You can connect with these schools via the Internet to find a wealth of information about each school from how to apply to campus life. Visiting these schools 9 Web sites is the next best thing to mak- ing a personal visit. There are many services available on the Internet that allow you to apply to several colleges at once and/or give you information about the institutions. Please see the special Internet Section in our guide. After serious consideration and en - visioning what it would be like for you at each college, fill out the application materials. It would be best if you apply to the three colleges you like most. All three of the colleges may accept you. You can make your final decision on which university to attend by the early part of your senior year. On the slight chance that you are not accepted by any of the colleges, you will still have time to apply to another university that meets your needs. SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and/or ACT (American College Test) scores are extremely important to col- lege admission. You will probably want to take one of the test preparation courses prior to the actual test. Class rank is also key. Many high schools begin to rank students according to grade point average during your junior year. Also important is the com pletion of certain high school course require- ments that include: four units of English, three or four units of math (at the Algebra I level and high er), two units of science, three units of social studies, and two or three units of a foreign language. Talk to your guidance coun- selor for more information about these requirements,and con sult the materials from the colleges you are considering for their requirements in these areas. In addition to your academic achieve - ments, colleges also look at your hon- HOW TO APPLY To A College or University 206788_hbcu-guide:text 9/21/07 4:59 PM Page 8 2007-2008 Guide To Historically Black Colleges & Universities9 ors received, participation in extracur- ricular activities and recommendations. These additional areas are of special importance when applying to a very competitive school or when you don 9t meet the regular admission require- ments. Describe all of these items on your application clearly and in detail. Specifically, write about any honors you have received not only at school, but also in your community or at your church. Your extracurricular activities should show that you cared enough to give morethan 100%. This involve- ment could include the student coun- cil, sports, the honors society, the school newspaper or yearbook, the debate team or community work. If you have not yet done any of these activities, do so now. You can easily get involved in a community volunteer project that helps anyone ranging from children to seniors to the less fortu- nate. Not only will you help someone else feel better, you 9ll also feel good about your contribution to others. Concerning your recommendations, ask up to four people to write a letter for you. Teachers are good candidates for this, as are coaches, employers, church members or community service co-workers. Before asking for such a letter, provide the person with a short yet informative biography (bio) on you. Your bio should include informa- tion about your grade point average, courses taken, sports and other extra- curricular activities, community and church service, and anything else of special note about you. How To Complete The Application Form Application materials while per- haps not simple are usually straight- forward. You can generally expect to re- ceive an application, an essay form and an information booklet. The booklet will probably have information about deadlines, instructions for completing the application, a listing of required high school course work, what admis- sion criteria will be used, and other ad- ditional information ranging from fur- ther specialty requirements to financial aid to housing available. Don 9t look at the application pro- cess as one giant project. Cut it down to size. Allocate a quiet hour or two per day to devote to the process where you focus on nothing but what you need to get done. Sit down in a well 3lit area with a cool soft drink, take a deep breath, relax and focus. Do as much as you can each day during the time you have allotted, and don 9t worry. How- ever, give yourself deadlines by which you should complete certain items. Congratulate yourself upon each achieve- ment. Remember to keep focused on the main goal, and you will manage the process quite well. This will give you good experience in time and project management that will work well for you in both college and in your career. You may want to ask your coun- selor or a teacher to review your applications with you before mailing them out; their input may prove to be useful in helping you to shine.
