Home-schooler To Graduate With Triple Major in Pre-Med, Maths, Computer Science at 17
- Thread starter Apollo Creed
- Start date
Pre-med isn't a major. It is just a set of courses most medical schools require for admissions. He could have graduated a while ago but he needs to be 18 for medical school. He wanted to be a Ph.D. but since Morehouse doesn't have Ph.D. programs they convinced him to stay for medical school.

Yep, when kids are safe with their parents and can learn whatever they want and at their own pace, they can do anything. It works with sports too, Venus and Serena Williams.

Y stay at morehouse it's not particularly good unless u have a need for an all male all black environment
Probably his mom. Morehouse is an absolutely fantastic university but he would have had greater resources at Stanford or MIT, plus there are a lot of students closer to his age there.
Still, support for HBCUs

How can we make HBCUs elite if nobody ever goes to them?
We can't, we need a greater amount of traffic from students that are focused on their future, and not just on 4 years of partying. The best ways to strengthen a school are through wealthy(ier) alumni bases, which means more programmers, engineers, doctors, lawyers, and finance/banking. The reason the top universities have such large endowments, better facilities, and subsequently better student bodies is through massive donations from their alumni.
Your top PWIs are bigger party schools than any HBCU can dream of. The issue is blacks send the kids who are top tier to PWIs, and then the kids who barely make it out of HS who we feel "didnt get the chance" to HBCUs. IMO kids who barely made it out of HS should go straight to CCs or Trade school, but instead HBCUs accept them because 1. It is a noble act to give all kids a chance 2. They need the admissions numbers since less and less kids pick HBCUs.
At the end of the day your best and brightest will succeed anywhere they go, so why not at least send them to an HBCU to bring back the standard of being the best Black America has to offer? There were a time when you have the Black Ivy League which were HBCUs that could compete with the top PWIs, now those only exist when it comes to the legacy they once had. Morehouse and Spelman now are pretty much nothing more than the places Big Companies like Deloitte and Google go to to fill diversity quotas.
I'm not sure what you are asking so forgive me if I sound crazy.
Stephen Stafford attended Morehouse because he was a child and the college was close to his house. That's what happens with prodigies. They attend the closest college to their house, sometimes community college. Also the faculty and staff at Morehouse paid a lot of attention to him.

Resources in what sense? He's a child prodigy that is becoming a doctor. He has all the resource he needs at Morehouse, including community. He'll get any research grant he wants if he chooses that route.

Morehouse has a higher job placement rate than PWIs and there is no difference in teaching quality between top and lesser schools. Profs don't actually "teach" anything; they just assign work and tell students to do it.
I mean for med school ain't no reason why he had to stay
Oh, you said "Y stay at morehouse it's not particularly good unless u have a need for an all male all black environment"".
Only the undergraduate college is all male. The medical school is coed.
He probably stayed at Morehouse because he received good mentoring not just from faculty at the college but I'm sure he got attention from the medical school faculty too. Most medical schools are equally good; they have to meet the same standards.
