Yeah, but our son majored in computer science. Harvard ain't got shit on Tech in that dept.
Only on BGOL can a 16 year old kid get shitted on for going to college.![]()
Paul Krugman is a Nobel Laureate in Economics. Stephen Hawking consults governments and Fortune 500 companies on astrophysics. Those guys seem to be doing pretty well from where I stand.

Our oldest turned down Harvard for Ga. Tech.

a debate over where a 16 yr old that none of us know should go to school... after he's already announced his final decision.
he will have the exact same options available to him after completing his undergrad studies.
he will probably have some sick internship opportunities while having a good time at school.
he will probably graduate in the top 5% of his class.
he will get to select a great graduate program, pay nothing, will already have job offers waiting for him upon completion... all before he turns 25 yrs old.
what is this debate about again?

theres a filter in place in society
the ones that goes to the best schools get paid the most in leadership positions
I would give my right arm to have the ability to do grad school at Standford
he should go to Harvard many contacts there not hating on the other schools but Harvard for a minority is golden. imagine your fellow graduates and their connections and clubs you can join, associations//?
needs better guidance
nice story....but a degree from Harvard is about life, not gimmicks
He wants to be a big fish in a small pond. He can be the smartest at FAMU, but at harvard he might not be.
basically. He has done well for himself but his scores would place him in the bottom quarter of the class at Harvard. Regardless of what friends/family et al say, I advise all of the kids I mentor to go to the best school they get into. Better schools have more money to throw at minority students. Harvard has around 7k undergraduates and an endowment of over 27 billion. FAMU has an endowment of around 88 million.![]()

And some of the same ones in the thread saying he should go to a white school will be the first ones to call a celebrity or rapper a coon.
Got to love the hypocrisy of BGOL![]()
I guess you have to know and understand the kid and what his interests are. Harvard's a great business and law school, but my kid wasn't interested in that. Maybe he felt that FAMU was the best fit for him, academically and culturally. There are a lot of kids that go to schools like Harvard, get there, and realize they can't deal with it culturally. Don't get it twisted, HBCU's also have alums in high places. If he stays on track, he'll be fine.
parents should step in. Harvard is the name you want on your resume. Its the brand that gurrantees a big pay check. Bad move
man if it was me and i had a chance to go to harvard with all the shit I know now about society
I would go, and be apart of the elite
Maybe he hates the cold? Props to little homie.
My son is on the same path. He wants to be a surgen. If I told you he turned down Harvard to go to the University of Michigan you boys would thinks he's crazy. Not knowing Michigan has one of the best medical schools in the country and Harvard doesn't.
Can't answer it, huh? It's cool.
G Tech is nothing to sneeze at. Especially their engineering dept. Alabama named as an Ivy league school? WTF!?!?!?!? I'm taking my ass to Harvard if it was me but I'm sure he has a reason for going where he's going.
Maybe he hates the cold? Props to little homie.
As a FAMU alum c/o 92, I say it's a good decision.
His parents went to Fort Valley State...the shittiest college in Georgia. No surprise they influenced him to go to FAMU over the other schools.
They probably have built in inferiority complexes that the kid inherited despite his academic abilities...he is not a whiz kid by any means.
Hell anybody can have a kid test well and get skipped a couple of grades.
Ur on bgol although you graduated in 92' which means it was a horrible decision. I can guarantee if you went to Harvard you most likely wouldn't be on here.
