Isn't Norfolk State an HBCU? |
Where are you based? |
| DC just accepted at Baylor! Very excited |
Michigan now |
It’s weird that you keep posting that. |
Yes, it is, which says something about the PP who doesn’t hire anyone from there. |
Yeah, I can attest to this, I got two qualified Liberty resumes last year and excluded them right away. It's just a very weird to go to super fringe schools, I don't need the headache of the kind of person that would pick it. But are we really talking about "conservative" as in super extreme or just conservative in terms of not being super woke liberal? I'm a Republican and find most colleges to be painfully liberal but I think there is generally a mix of students in these schools. Schools in the midwest tend to lean more conservative (purdue, chicago, uwmad) and schools on the east and west - super liberal. But in most cases I think you should be able to find your people in almost any decent sized school and if you can't figure it out there, you will have issues in the larger world beyond college - the bubble must break sometime. |
Where you went to college is not a protected class; so no, not illegal. |
What bubble? |
I think we’re talking about “conservative” as those who endorse a campaign by Youngkin that ignored the facts and falsely claimed that we’re teaching something called “critical race theory” in our schools when this was just a thinly veiled anti-education campaign. The kind of conservative who continued to support a MAGA president even after he mounted a violent assault on the nation’s capital with the intended purpose of overturning a legitimate election and preventing the peaceful transition of power. The kind of conservative who identifies with the Putin wing of the Republican Party (so named by certain Republicans) which holds up the Russian president as the epitome of a strong leader. Is this super extreme? A majority of Republicans seem to be endorsing at least 2 out of 3 of these positions if not all 3. |
Congratulations! |
Baylor is a very underrated school, three friends sent their kids there and all three got accepted into several medical schools. They were good students but nothing exceptional. Baylor’s pre-med program really served them well. Establishing Texas residency also helped as medical schools there in Texas were very affordable for residents. |
It becomes one if college’s religious or conservative ties are held against you. |

Pepperdine and SMU
We toured both I absolutely love Pepperdine, I mean LOVE the school. |
Just met a medical resident who went to Liberty. He said it was nearly impossible to get a residency because people assumed a lot of things about him and his values, etc. It does make you think |
