16-Year-Old Turns Down Harvard AND Stanford to go to FAMU vol. yes..........FAMU

[marath0n]

Florida A&M University (FAMU) freshman, Ralph Jones Jr., a 16 year old from Atlanta, Ga. turned down offers to Howard University, Fort Valley State University and Morehouse College to attend FAMU. In addition to these institutions, he also turned down prominent Ivy League institutions such as Harvard University to become a Rattler.

With an SAT score of 2,120 out of 2,400, it is understandable how he was admitted to the top institutions in the U.S.

Jones is a recipient of the Life-Gets-Better Scholarship and a National Achievement Finalist. Jones was awarded $120,000 in scholarships, which includes a stipend, tuition and fees, room and board, books and a laptop.

Being a member of a family who has a three-generation history of attending Fort Valley State University and parents who are educators, Jones feels that his childhood played a huge role in his development.

Exactly my point. You turn down the #1 school in the nation with a 7% acceptance rate to go to a school with a 62% acceptance rate known for its sextape. Doesn't add up to me.

Get prepared for one HUGE debate.

Lol.



Alabama and Penn State are not Ivy League. Not even close.

who wrote this article

2120 is highly lauded?

He must not go to a good HS if that is the highest score in the past 5 years...

Shouldve put that in the middle of the article instead of the forefront.

I'm not even touching his decision. For every but him, it's stupid. I don't know him too well and his reasons for attending seem highly superficial... energy? Okay.

Dude should enjoy his 4 years at FAMU...then get his masters and phd at an Ivy league school...sounds good to me....

Back in 05 I got accepted to FAMU with a cumulative high school GPA of 2.8 AND they offered me a partial scholarship.
That is the #1 reason why I DIDN'T go.

It's hard not to downplay this school when it is a lauding a student who's SAT score is LOWER than my school's entire incoming class AVERAGE (2000+ students). (1447/1600 which translates to a 2171)

 

[stillatit]

So...?
Kid wanted to go to FAMU instead of Harvard and Stanford. His decision.

Its not just about his score. Its the fact that he's 16 and earned this score on the SAT.
