ACP is pretty selective. Since you're only a sophomore you'll have plenty of time to bring your grades up. Just try to do you best and study lots!! :)

I go to UAlbany so i can't help you with the school specifically, but the area is definitely a college town. There are about 10 colleges i can think of right in the area with tons of students. If you like night-life there are tons of bars and clubs (as usual being a college-town) as well as some great places to do things: The Times Union Center is a big arena for concerts, shows and sports (hockey and arena league team). There is also the egg (more for performances and drama as well as comedians) and the Palace Theatre. The capital buildings are beautiful and the museum of art and history are very close by. There are two pretty big malls over here and honestly there is a ton to do, even when it feels like there isn't.

If you're planning to enter an accelerated program please keep in mind that usually they're on the quarter system and that's 10 weeks to know what you need to know before the final. If you can't handle a calendar like that stick to the semester scale so you won't flunk out.

It is not in the top 50. You can go here http://www.blackenterprise.com/ExclusivesekOpen.asp?id=106 to the Black Enterprise Site and see the top 50. The list is not all, or even mostly HBCU's but is the list of the top 50 colleges for African Americans. The best school for a particular person may or may not be highly ranked. It depends on what you need and expect from your college experience. Many very successful and famous people did not attend a "top" college or university.
