Ok, I don't want to start a flame war here, but...I'm a white male applying to a couple of HBCUs this year (Howard and Morehouse). I have a low GPA which is part of it, but I legitimately have an interest in working in an underserved, urban area as a doctor. I did Teach for America in a low-income, mostly African-American community. I'm not assuming I'll get interviews at those places, but if I do I'm a little worried about how to go about selling myself at a school that is known for having mostly minority students when I am not one. Any thoughts about how to approach these interviews? (I would appreciate hearing from people who attend HBCUs).
Again, I don't want to start a big racial/URM/blah blah blah thing. I think I have a reasonable question here.
