Really High-Ranking Schools, it would be difficult to get into (Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University, University of Georgia) and Mercer 2. Safety Schools like GA State University (merged with Ga Perimeter College), Kennesaw State University (merged with Southern Polytechnical State University), Georgia Southern University, Columbus State University 3. HBCUs which are really in a class of their own (Morehouse, Clayton State University, Clark Atlanta University, Albany State, Savannah State University, Fort Valley State University, etc) or Atlanta Technical College 4. All woman colleges like Spellman or Agnes Scott 5. Colleges weirdly named small private schools or religious schools you see ads for or considered but will most likely not go to/not ranked Nationally not an HBCU PBI or Minority Majority School but are for the local population (Ga Perimeter, Ga Gwinnett, Gwinnett Tech, Augusta State, Valdosta State, Middle Georgia, South Georgia, UWG, UNG, Dalton, Armstrong Atlantic State University, College of Coastal Georgia, Ga College & State University - not to be confused with Georgia State University, Devry University, Life University, Beulah Heights University, South University, Thomas University, Shorter University, Thomas University, Reinhardt University, Baulder, Wesleyan Abraham Baldwin Agricultural, Brewton-Parker, Berry, Paine, Columbia Theological Seminary, Lagrange, Piedmont, Truett-McConnell, Emmanuel, 6. Lol no offense imo but rip-off or Non-Accredited Colleges like SCAD the Art Institute of Atlanta 7. last and least lol 2-year colleges or Technical College or Vocational Schools Some of the rankings blend but generally shoot for the higher ranks of schools if you can't start at the lower ranks. Unfortunately, there's a huge gap between the Really Highly Ranked Colleges and the Safety Schools which seems like there is a barrier of entry for marginalized students or POC, but you could work hard and transfer even if you start at a 2 year college or Technical College. So, by all means considerably Id say in the state of Georgia, GA State University is a great option if you care for Research and name and prestige and diversity and value financially Return of Interest.

Calles the student housing office and spoke to a male today who was combative on the phone, and…read moremore concerned about having the appropriate sarcastic answer for questions I was asking instead of finding a solution for the issue I was raising. This housing office is the absolute worst. With all of the kids accepted by the university, how come they cannot adequately house the students they owe this responsibility to? One solution that was given, was to house my daughter in a hotel for the semester. How could this even be remotely considered safe to house students in hotels throughout the semester instead of the proper collegiate dorms that our money purchases? I do not recommend sending your kids here as it seems they are more concerned about accepting kids for the sake of tuition instead of properly taking care of the kids once in their care. Go else where.

Went to an amazing event this weekend. Was the first time I've ever been inside the ACU campus…read more The parking was adjacent to the campus building we were headed to so no issues with parking. But even on the weekends it was $12! A lot! Also, the system did not read my ticket printed so I had to pay $24 to get out as they charge $24 for a lost ticket but the security help kept disconnecting the call so I had no choice. Staff - they had some CAU staff on site for the event but mostly event staff were present. Atmosphere - now the building itself definitely have HBCU vibes!! Loved everything about it! Nothing seemed dirty or too outdated. Everything worked in the bathrooms and the technology supplies were updated. I appreciated the school hosting the event and look forward to visiting for other events as well. Definitely recommend and look forward to returning. Thanks Brittney

You can only pull up to the dorm area unload your young men items in a designated area and move your vehicle. Thankfully there were 6 of us. So as my daughter moved the van my wife watched the items as we took what we could to my grandson's dorm, however the sophomores, juniors,and seniors would also come around to help everyone that's the Morehouse way. After we got to the dorms we all pitched in to help my grandson get somewhat situated. Then the next 4 days was laid out with assemblies for the parents, and love ones and the 751 freshmen starting their journey. At the college request we were asked that at the opening assembly that no photos and videos are allowed to preserve the sacred opening. However all other assemblies generally 2 a day for the parents and loved ones you could take photos and videos. On the second morning another assembly we were given the history of Morehouse and to the administrators surprise one of their alumni made a special appearance sporting his NY Knicks cap, yes Spike Lee and he gave a very poignant off the cuff inspiring speech to the young men and after he was done was greeted with the Morehouse chant. This school is one of the most famous colleges in America, Martin Luther king was a student here Samuel Jackson also Julian Bond and Senator Raphael Warnock just to name a few. Forbes magazine has Morehouse at number 3 as the best private HBCU. To walk this campus and knowing all the great civil rights leaders and entertainers who matriculated here really is a blessing.

This program is a great opportunity and we are thankful for it. The history of this school, and the surrounding schools, is evident everywhere you look. You can't help but feel proud as you stroll the grounds. Parking was super easy to find and it is only $1/hour. The campus is very clean. I love all of the flowers I see planted everywhere. We passed a greenhouse while on a tour and it was gorgeous. There are murals and monuments all across the campus. It's all stunning. The kids thought it was cool that there are four schools all here in this one area. Walking through and crossing onto another campus was cool.

On September 16, 2016, Kevin G left a review here on Yelp for Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM)…read more That day was the school's white coat ceremony for the class of 2020. His daughter and my fiancee were part of the same ceremony almost four years ago. On that day, he said, "the long journey begins." Today, May 16, 2020, that journey has ended and another one is about to begin (residency). Today, the 36th commencement exercises for Morehouse School of Medicine were held and the class of 2020 graduated. The students are now alumni and are officially MDs (medical doctors) from this day forward. Congratulations to all! I met my fiancee, Rebecca, when she had just moved back to Atlanta to begin orientation at MSM. Yep, I started dating her just as she was starting medical school. Against her mom's advice and against my friends' advice (friends who were currently dating medical residents), we decided to date and look at us now -- she's graduated, magna cum laude I might add (I'm fully aware I'm shamelessly bragging here), and we're about to get married and begin the next chapter of our lives. We did it! Rebecca is one of two graduates from MSM's class of 2020 who matched with residency programs in ophthalmology. She matched at UNC Chapel Hill and begins her four-year program there next month. To medical students considering dating and people who aren't med students who are considering dating one, my message to you is: It can be done. Before meeting Rebecca, admittedly, I didn't know anything about MSM. These last four years, I've learned a lot. The school feels very close-knit and like a community or family. Everyone seems very supportive of one another. The current president and dean of MSM (since 2014) is Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, an obstetrician and gynecologist. I like her because she's a fellow proud Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech. She earned her medical degree from Harvard Medical School. She replied to my tweet day on Match Day, the day med students across the country learn which residency programs they matched to, March 20, 2020: https://twitter.com/MSMPres/status/1241056743850991616. MSM Class of 2020 had a 98% match rate which was above average for all US med schools. Great job, Morehouse! MSM is a relatively young school, established in 1975. Since 1981, the school became independent of Morehouse College. Understandably, I and probably most other people, incorrectly thought the two schools were tied together, when in fact they are not. MSM's campus is located just southwest of downtown Atlanta in the part of town known as Atlanta University Center. It's where four HCBUs are located: Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Spelman College. In its relatively short history, MSM has produced or been affiliated with some of the top health officials in the country. They include: * Louis Sullivan, MD - 17th Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services under President George HW Bush (1989-1993) * David Satcher, MD - 16th Surgeon General of the United States under Bill Clinton and George W Bush (1998-2002) and 13th Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under Clinton (1993-1998) * Eric Holder, JD - 82nd United States Attorney General under Barack Obama (2009-2015); Holder is former vice chairman of MSM's board of trustees * Regina Benjamin - 18th Surgeon General of the United States under Barack Obama (2009-2013); Benjamin was also an MSM trustee Both Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Satcher spoke at today's ceremonies. Like other schools across the country, from high schools to graduate institutions, MSM's festivities went virtual. I was impressed with what they pulled off. It was quite the production and nicely done, complete with interactive capabilities. You can view the virtual commencement on MSM's website at https://www.msm.edu/commencement/. Along with Drs. Sullivan and Satcher, there was a special musical performance by John Legend (and also a message from him: https://twitter.com/MSMEDU/status/1261692254160379907) and special greetings from former Atlanta Mayor and US Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-SBlHFFPgI). Heck, even Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade got in on the action: https://twitter.com/MSMEDU/status/1261676503940698112. And so did Killer Mike: https://twitter.com/MSMEDU/status/1261678978210902016. Morehouse School of Medicine will forever be a part of our lives and we - especially me - are thankful they gave Rebecca a chance. Thank you, MSM, for producing great doctors and for following through on your objectives, some of which include increasing the diversity of the healthcare workforce and focusing on helping people of color and those less-privileged. To conclude, Rebecca's biggest takeaway from her experience at MSM is: "MSM provides a nurturing environment that really helps students become the best versions of themselves." :)

Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice MD, is a former Grady Memorial Hospital's board member. During Dr…read more Rice's stay, Dr. Rice was notified on several occasions including certified mail, concerning the sexual assault that occurred at Grady Hospital. Dr. Rice and other board members refused to properly investigate this matter. Dr. Rice did not implement any safety measures. I believed Dr. Rice and other Grady Board members did not care. However, resigning from the board did not preclude Dr. Rice from her responsibility concerning this issue. I ( heart patient) was sexually assaulted by Grady Memorial Hospital's male nurse (the sexual predator was not assigned to my room) while I slept in bed. Grady's administrators and legal team immediately attempted to cover up the assault. Grady administrators knew the sexual predator had committed this horrendous act against other hospital patients in the past. Grady's administrators removed the surveillance camera (located near my room door) shortly after the assault and refused to produce the video footage. Grady's doctors and nurses assigned to my care were outstanding. However, a few bad apples will not destroy Grady's prominent legacy. I pray no hospital patient ever experiences the physical and psychological trauma I endure daily. However, I am looking forward to my day in a Fulton County courtroom.
