Where do these type of guys work because, I know for a fact NO ONE and I mean NO ONE will hire these types of people. I work in HR and every is pretty open about it too. Yet I see so many black dudes trying to fit into the hip-hop niche..Where do they get their money?

Interested In Nyu Or Columbia… Have Any Advice?


I’m still feeling vague about my major to be honest, but I’ve always felt an affinity to New York. I’m hoping I won’t be disappointed if I make it there, but I’d like to try anyway. I just started my junior year, I’m in the International Baccalaureate program. I have a weighted 4.162 (it dropped from 4.22 sophomore year due to some laziness) and about a 3.8 unweighted (this I’m unsure about but I believe it’s around that range) however my PSAT scores are a little poor. Without prior preparation–I actually was briefly asleep during the two I took soph and freshman year, I scored a 1700-1850. I’m hoping with actual studying I’ll hit at least 2000 but I’m crossing fingers for a 2200. My extended essay is probably going to be on mass hysteria/the Salem Witch trials. I’m a co-president and founder of a fashion/donation/DIY club, I work at a non-profit Writing Tutor Center headed by my high school’s English department, applying for NHS (a mistake I should have done in soph year), math tutor to middle schoolers, art lessons from a group studio out of school, Treasure Trove (affiliated with Inova Hospital) occasional volunteer and Public Library volunteer. I am considering joining Amnesty International. I am also planning on dancing either in hip hop classes and/or for my high school’s International Culture Night. I’m signed up to be a part of my high school’s Film Club’s Public Relations and upcoming Treasurer of dance classes being offered at school but those are still in the working. I will be graduating in 2012 with 150 hours of Creativity, Service, and Action if I continue the IB curriculum. I am thinking of making a study group in favor of upcoming SATs and I am in the Asia/Culture Club as well as Japanese Honor Society. My parents are saving for a one to two week language excursion in Tokyo for Summer 2011. I was a violinist the first two years of highschool but dropped it in favor of the IB curriculum (IB Japanese is not offered but I enjoy the language so I picked up French I & II for the ab initio test). When it comes to hobbies, I am exceptional at analytical work and creative writing but I prefer the latter. I also am decent in sketching but due to not being trained/practicing enough throughout high school, I have no portfolio and my painting skills are very weak. I am learning Korean on the side from a friend. I plan on double majoring in picking up some art classes in college just because I love it, but perhaps Psychology, Business, Architecture or Industrial Design as a second major. I’m hoping to score some scholarships since I’m aiming out of state (originally from Northern Virginia) so I’m a little nervous. I feel like I haven’t prepped enough. I’m not really interested in UVA and VA Tech is my safety because I’m a legacy… Any tips/opinions on the colleges mentioned, out of state tuition/rent, and if I’m along the right path? I’d appreciate anything (sorry this is so long)–thanks in advance.
