Not sure about my glasses, but my contacts are: Acuvue VITA Right (OD) Power: -10.00 BC: 8.4 DIA: 14.0 Acuvue VITA Left (OS) Power: -09.00 BC: 8.4 DIA: 14.0 Not sure if it is helpful, but this is what the USMA remedial asked for: R151.01 --- REQUIRES A PHYSICIAN'S APPOINTMENT: Please obtain a...

Yes it is. I wear glasses/contacts.

I was DQ'd for "Myopia - refractive error greater than -8.00 diopters" last summer. USMA gave me a LOA and requested a remedial last fall. They ultimately denied my waiver late last month. I can't understand it though because the doctors who did my remedial were very encouraging and said I...

Hi! I still haven't heard anything from anyone. Both eye doctors for my remedial exams were very encouraging and said that I didn't have the serious issue that they believed USMA was concerned about. The first remedial exam was in September and the second was in October and it looks like my...

Hi! I was DQ'd for "Myopia - refractive error greater than -8.00 diopters (spherical equivalent)" on July 25th. USMA requested a remedial on 09/15. I scheduled and completed the remedial exams and my status updated to "Date exam reviewed" on 11/03. But ... I haven't heard anything and...

Yes, it's the right person. I actually had the interview scheduled with the previous ALO and the day of the interview, it changed to a new ALO. I sent another email today. Thanks!

I was just wondering what to do if my ALO isn't returning contact? We had a couple of emails back and forth last month trying to schedule the interview, but then they stopped responding. I don't want to keep bothering them, but I'm stressed that I don't have this even scheduled yet. Any advice?

I received my acceptance today, too!

Thanks Pima and Stemmom. I did have Carnegie Mellon (and MIT, plus 6-7 more schools!) on my first college list, but my parents wanted me to narrow down my list to 10 total as it costs so much to apply to schools (plus taking required tests & having them sent to so many schools). Since...

Thanks! I hadn't seen that one. I took the CS101 from Stanford through Coursera awhile back and enjoyed it, but hadn't seen this one. I will definitely check it out!

I definitely need a scholarship to attend college. I'm a sophomore now, but think I have a good chance (based on current ACT/SAT scores) to do well on the PSAT in the Fall and am hoping to be a NMS, as well as applying for various scholarships (Eagle Scout, etc.). We're in WI, so UW-Madison...

Thank you. I will definitely take a look at Ohio State; it wasn't on my radar. Haha ... It's not that I'm choosing CS solely to get into cyber defense -- I really want to major in CS. I'm taking AP Comp Sci this year -- I wish there were more AP Computer classes!

Thanks. I hadn't considered that school, but will take a look.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could comment on the AFROTC Detachment and/or the Computer Science Department at the following schools. I am hoping to become a cyber warfare officer. University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill University of Wisconsin-Madison Clemson University Purdue...

I'm taking Russian. (Hopefully this is good, too?) :) The cyberwarfare team looks awesome ... thanks!
