Yes, I have kepted everything that I have submitted, so that should not be a problem. Hope your son gets into the Academy this time!!

Well, unfortunately, I was not accepted to West Point this past month (Received QNS around the 10th) but I will be enrolling in ROTC at Cal Poly SLO this Fall. Since I was not admitted for the Class of 2016, can I simply keep my file open and thus roll it over for next year's process? Or, do I...

Thank you for the congrats. I was awarded the 4 yr High School scholarship (I'm assuming 4 yr) to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (central coast). This may come as a surprise as I received notification on the 15th of February assumingly from the January board. This came after receiving a QNS...

I was awarded AROTC Scholarship to Cal Poly SLO today. Rank: 5/140 GPA: 3.9/4.1 ACT: 29 SAT: 1390/2070 ECs: Baseball 4 yr Cross Country 1 yr (Cpt) Football 2 yr Church Group I'd really like to attend and now hope that cp will accept me as a ME major. I'd like...

"In a time of War"-shows what the class of 2002 cadets acheived during Iraq and Afganistan Wars "Unforgiving Minute"-details one cadet who actually was on a Rhodes Scholarship; then fought in A. AA is a great book as well. I'm sure there are others but these are great reads.

Well I am from California as well and took my interviews with Con. Gallegly (in person) and Dianne Fienstein (by phone). I found that I was for obvious reasons less nervous over the phone and more communicative. I feel that in person the panel sees more of your APPEARANCE, while over the phone...

You'll be sent to your battalion's hq for schooling for around a year or so. Then you may be deployed or attached to a battalion that is deploying if prompted to (in time of war). Aviation takes several more months (or even 1 more year) of schooling. But it all depends on which branch you...

The air force is projecting its numbers for class of 2016 to be around 1050; fairly significant difference, but still being felt across the board.

Easier than i thought but here's several... "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" "What is an example of a positive and a negative event in your life?" Of course the usual "What is your back-up plan?", etc. Obviously be prepared to make a case for yourself or DS/DD to know what...

scoutpilot, what aircraft have you operated?

Honestly, I took the ACT 3 times and got the same darn score a 29. I prepped so much but still got the same results. However, with the SAT, I improved dramatically from a 1900 to a 2070. IMPO the SAT is much easier to IMPROVE on but once you hit a plateau, tutoring will not help too much...

Thank you very much for the help.

Hello, I am a senior in hs and was looking around and have gathered that engineering majors are increasing in 5 year (or more) graduation rates with budget cuts and such. I was wondering what the process is of transforming a 4 year ROTC scholarship to a 5 year one and if this is...

Okay thank you very much. I was worried about this.

Hi, I have completed everything required for the NROTC Navy Option scholarship and am unsure my college list reflects my chances of getting into the schools. I know my #1 is for sure my top school but would like to switch around my 2,3,4,5 choices around since I have "reevaluated" my...
