I find it fishy this student ended up at Alcorn State? If she is as smart as she claims to be every school in the country will be sending her acceptance letters with full scholarships.

It's an historically black school. Those still hold great loyalty from blacks, having educated kids at a time when white schools would not.

Though it is by definition a form of chosen segregation.

My advice to the young lady would be to drop the matter, be gracious, and determine to work harder than others to reach the top. Which a black female with a degree can certainly do today, even in Mississippi.

Grade inflation is so bad now that colleges consider the SAT and ACT scores much more than grades. If she didn’t get scholarships with a gpa that high, it’s because her SAT/ACT is low. That also probably means she’s not that smart, and she was given most of those grades. I knew a girl in college who cried racism to every prof who didn’t give her an A. They all gave her an A except for one. She cried racism but he had a protected position and it didn’t stick.

With a high GPA, she might be accepted into many colleges, but maybe not with a full scholarship.

The article says she was hoping for a scholarship especially for HS salutatorians from Univ. of Miss.
