Chance the Rapper Tweets About Attending Clark Atlanta University, and Morehouse Is Like, ‘What About Us?’

Chance the Rapper is looking for a college to further his education, and one simple tweet from the rapper Sunday night got two colleges in the Atlanta University Center Consortium vying for his application.

I was tryna go to Clark ATL. I'm still tryna go. Like not honorary, the full blown ya dig. Can someone help me sign up

It looks as though the person who runs Morehouse’s social media was up and had time:

The AUC is a great place to be. Morehouse is an even better House to call home! Welcome home my brother, we would love to have you in Atl.

But then Clark Atlanta University’s social media person had even more time:

He said #CAU. Stop the madness.

— Clark Atlanta Univ. (@CAU) August 21, 2017

If you’re not aware, both CAU and Morehouse are part of the consortium that makes up the up the Atlanta university system. And to have Chance attend one’s school would likely be a big deal.

Even though the universities were quick to jump at a celebrity’s request on social media, a current student gave them a few side eyes:

As a parent of an HBCU student, I definitely feel what Tay is going through. But I digress.
