Tracking the enrollment at historically Black colleges can be difficult. Many historically Black colleges do not adhere (at all or strictly) to May deadlines for telling the college if a student who has been accepted will enroll. This reflects a reality that the colleges are admitting students who will be just able to afford to attend (with the aid they are given), and for many students and families, the beginning of May is the start of the time to figure out what they can afford.
Nonetheless, some Black colleges are declaring this year to be one of amazing success in admissions.
