The Grammy-winning singer didn't make it past 11th grade at Yonkers, N.Y.'s Roosevelt High School, the same institution that expelled Aerosmith's Steven Tyler for drug use. Blige revealed in 2010 that she finally got her diploma and would attend Howard University, though the school said she never actually applied. As of now, she's still not in college.
