What are my chances on getting into Spelman and Clark Atlanta along with getting a presidential scholarship from each school?
I currently have a 3.8 weighted GPA and the school's average freshman GPA for Spelman is 3.9 and a 2.7 for Clark. I have at the least 100 community service hours but maybe closer to 200. I would plan on majoring in physics with a mechanical engineering dual degree so I have many STEM extracurriculars. I have leadership positions and I'm active in my community. I'm a junior so I don't have to write my essay just yet but I think the idea I have for it is pretty good. By my senior year I will have 10-12 APs and 5-7 honors. I'll have 4 years plus AP Spanish credit and 2 years of Chinese. I have research hours and awards in competitions. I'm pretty sure I could get in but I'm not to sure of my chances on getting good scholarships. Not sure if this matters but I would also double major in fashion and double minor in Japanese and game design/development.

Why aren't there more high school programs centered around promoting Historically Black Colleges and Universities?
Growing up I had no idea about the labels "Predominantly White Institutions(PWIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities". My first time being exposed to HBCU's was in a somewhat negative light. These institutions provide quality programs and diversities just like any other institution but High schools lack information on these programs unless a professional staff member has had the pleasure to attend one and pass their experience on to the students. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University has one of the top engineering programs in the country, Howard University has an esteemed medical school, and North Carolina Central University has a prestigious law school, but there are a lot of students that are unaware of these opportunities because they are not encouraged to expand their research. #spreadtheword #equality #human-rights #HBCUs #college-admissions #college
