If you have already taken the test, it is always a good idea to send in the scores to let the Academy get a better "bigger picture" of the cadet. I would also mention them in the essays, but mentioning them is no substitute for sending them in and vice versa.

The ROTC application is quite different from the Academy application process. The Academy application process includes the direct application to the academy and the requirement of a nomination source. I will not go into too much detail on nominating sources because that information is both...

We have to give blood? I have small veins and very low blood pressure, so I have ALWAYS been a pain in the neck to draw from. This will be fun...

A list of medications provided at the Academy includes sunscreen; is there any particular reason we should bring some ourselves?

I don't think there is a packet coming in the mail.

I had to change my form of transportation around recently to get furnished tickets, and I did so by going through my councilor at the school. Try starting there maybe?

Sorry if the information in my post could be interpreted wrong. The article I got the information from was actually referred to me by my LD coach since he knew I enjoyed reading up on the science of working out. When I was referring to long distance, though, I was strictly referring to LD...

To the "bring with you" section, I would probably add bringing a copy of all paperwork you mailed and at least three copies of your immunization records (to be safe!). That is what I will be doing.

After going through tons of articles and summaries and guides on running, I eventually found one which put running very simply (paraphrasing): If you run long distances, your stamina and speed will go up. Eventually, though, just your stamina will go up, and, if you want to gain speed, you...

Where were we supposed to be told to take the test? I do not remember ever seeing it...

So in order to not be biased you were just going to tell everyone that your team is better for no particular reason? Would you care to share why?

In early June your Portal should update with your arrival time and your squadron assignment.

I can tell you from very personal experience that your "whole person" application matters exponentially more than something singular such as a varsity letter? How? I didn't have a single letter and currently have an appointment. Miracles do happen!

Tons. I hate to be that guy, but I have to point out how general your question is and how hard it would be to answer your question without something more specific. Maybe starting with, what exactly do you mean by a 'tech' job?

One way to look at it is it certainly can't work against you, that's for sure.
