I am, I believe I am going to Marion
USCGA sponsored Preps go to Marion. USMMA sponsored Preps go to NMMI. Self Preps/free agents go where they want.
To the NMMI sponsored preps (all academies). Stay tuned for some developements. NMMI will be enrolling you in an ALEKS math course this summer to help prepare you for the regular college courses. ALEKS is a very good system and the USAFA uses it also.
You will need to take the NMMI placement exams in math, physics, and chemistry. I'll look at the results of those tests, your eight-semester high school transcript, and all your standardized test scores (ACT/SAT).
After we have all that I'll build your class schedule. Chemistry, physics, and English have two different starting points. Math has three. The idea is to give you classes that will "stretch" but not "kill" you. Woun't want to "bore" you either!
I'll answer this for you and any other MMA sponsored preps lurking out there.
Here is what happens - Captain Johnson (Dir. of Admissions @ USMMA) flys out here. We will get you all in one place and he will hand you a copy of your contract with the USMMA. He will read it to you word for word, and ask if there are any questions. After the questions you will sign/date the contract. We make a copy for you while he keeps the original. In that contract will be GPA and other requirements.
It's not my place to "upstage" CAPT Johnson (a retired Army COL) and give you advance knowledge. The contract is very "doable" and there is nothing weird or unusual in it. I will say that you need to be working NOW with both Senators and your Congressman to obtain a nomination for the Class of 2018. Your old nom (class of 2017) is "dead".
Please call me if you would like clarification.
