I dont know what Morehouse folks you know, but most of the ones that I know that graduated from Morehouse seem to be pretty doggone well for themselves. Granted, everybody isn't going to be the next CEO of some major corporation, but it seems like a large majority of the folks I run into from Morehouse are doing pretty damn alright. I'd match that 75 percent number, based on my own knowledge. And that's the whole point I was going at...of the cats that GRADUATE, how many are doing pretty damn well?? Quite a few, which is the same argument I thought you were making. Just as an aside, in case Wood comes back through here and reads this, apparently FAMU has a lower graduation rate than Morehouse does which FURTHER proves the worthless ness of this ranking. They really are comparing apples to oranges if FAMU can be a better school with a lower graduation rate if graduation rate is indeed the biggest factor. And all of this is stated on Black Enterprises's very website. Graduate a lot of folks bc of sheer size of your school and apparently that trumps the low graduation rate. Pure D Bullshit. @Tombstone: I did miss that part I suppose, but I think I actually answered it.

Tougaloo will never put up as many numbers, hell our enrollment is at about 700 now. But, if you look at the percentages we blow any school out the water. I know more cats from Morehouse who will throw they lil' hands above they head like the village people, and still living at home with mom, than I know girls w/ big butts in the South.

Good school. Might as well flaunt that #1 ranking for as long as you can. I ain't even mad. doesn't mean much of shit to me, like i said, it didnt mean much when Morehouse was "#1". and umm...was this what you really meant: "And for A&M to admitt students at twice the rate of the house and have a similar rate of graduation is a feat to be proud of." cuz uh...it really isn't. our graduation rate is the problem pimpin'. and if you got the same rate, then you're school has a problem too. trust me. @Tombstone: No dis or anything, but Morehouse could easily match that shit you came up with. Hell, my group of friends alone could easily match that. Not to say that those are accomplishments, in fact, good damn job. However, you ain't exactly walking on the moon. But just to make sure you don't think I'm lying... 1: GRADUATED Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering 2: Master's in Math Education/Current Ph.D. student in Psychometrics 3: Master's in Economics/Big shot something or other at AOL 4: Master's in Public Policy/Capitol Hill running a 30 billion dollar gov't portfolio 5: Harvard J.D. and current big shot ass lawyer in DC handling M&A I mean, that's just an insular group of friends right there (and doesn't even include the Spelman portion). Like, not to be an asshole...but... ...it's Morehouse. Of course we can match that. Don't get it fucked up, just cuz we ain't graduating niggas like some other schools doesn't mean that the niggas graduating won't be running the world and doling out jobs one day. Word to Dr. King, Julian Bond, Herman Cain, Samuel Jackson and every other big shot Morehouse alumni. So once again, good job and I hope you all make it do what it do...but umm...notice you're kicking it with two Morehouse alumni pimpin'. Holla at every top shelf program or firm in this nation and see if there isn't a Morehouse cat there. So yeah, we can match that. And umm...I make no apologies for niggas with no hometraining. Them niggas did graduate though!!!! @wood: I like FAMU. Good school. Might as well flaunt that #1 ranking for as long as you can. I ain’t even mad. doesn’t mean much of shit to me, like i said, it didnt mean much when Morehouse was “#1″. and umm…was this what you really meant:

But, as I like to tell people, I was one of 8 chemistry majors who graduated in 2004. Here is what we produced (let's see the House match this): 1 dds/phd student, 1 md student, 1 law student, 1 phd/md student, 1 phd student, 1 pharmacy school student, 1 mother, and 1 student I have no clue where she is. We might not graduate alot, but 75% go on to do something, let's see the house match that. *Side note, i'm the one in med school, and my two roomates are both from the house and in med school with me, and one still can't understand the concept of washing his hands, flushing the toilet, and removing his spongebob squarepants boxers from the bathroom.

Graduation rates were the biggest factor but not the only one. It took into account undergrad enrollment, social environment and other things in which dem rattlers had the market cornered.

Fuck all HBCU's besides Morehouse and Spelman. And fuck you if you don't agree. Resistance is futile you fucking creeps. Thank you, that is all.
