Dear same old song,

You leave out the best part. Lots of these schools don't even MENTION their median SATs.

In my state, we have Bowie State, Sojourner-Douglas, Morgan State, Coppin State, UMES (Univ of MD Eastern Shore). Only UMES publishes their median SAT - 1290.

As for schools with under 400 average per section, I think the winner is: Saint Pauls College in Lawrencville, VA with a median SAT of 1030, which works out to about 343 per section. They barely edge out Paul Quinn College, SAT = 1044, in Dallas Texas. These two schools make Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC, a positive intellectual powerhouse with a median SAT of 1100!

But, hey, brains ain't everything, right? If you can mix up a mean batch of Lean, after all...

Great!!

She can be the next POTUS!!

[GreenHornet]

Does she even have a high school diploma yet?

Not yet, but give her a break!.....she's only 19!

Sounds like a lemonade moment .

If she actually follows through and makes something of herself as a result of this generous gift, what an Eliza Doolittle example THAT would be!

I don’t think she will ever be charged with perjury. Look at Crystal Mangum. She lied about being gang raped but the AG Roy Cooper refused to have her charged because she had psychological problems. She kept custody of her children, set her boyfriend’s clothes on fire and then shot and killed a boyfriend. Not sure if it was the same or a different boy friend. (She had many - at least 9 or 10 guys’ DNA was in her when she claimed rape.)

“Princeton could use a gal like Jeantel.”

Oh yeah, Saint Paul's.. I'm from VA and they have been in the news lately, they are closing down because they lost their accreditation. Here's a link: PilotOnline story here I am not surprised..

And maybe after that she could get get a scholarship to the historically black Howard University Law School where the students stood up and cheered in unison when the OJ verdict was read.

Cold fusion will soon be commercially available due to this learned students education. All of the free energy the earth will ever need.

RE: “Princeton could use a gal like Jeantel.”

Why specifically Princeton?

[Eaker]

Clown College?

Schools are not responsible for education, the student is.....You can lead a horse to water...

The horse analogy is inaccurate as horses if thirsty are smart enough to drink.

She could be a pole dancer. If you spelled that out in block letters.

It's a re-working of a quote from the movie "Risky Business."
Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise) is a high school student who aspires to go to Princeton but clearly lacks the grades to qualify for acceptance.
The initial impression of Joel's application by Princeton interviewer, Rutherford is, "You've done a lot of solid work here, but it's just not Ivy League, now is it?"
However, Joel manages to impress Rutherford with other than academic qualities, and in Joel's Princeton acceptance letter Rutherford closes with "Princeton can use a guy like Joel."
