    CFA Fail

    My application is due this Friday and I am taking the CFA this week, but I am starting to get nervous. I have been practicing, but not as much as I would have liked. I am not making excuses, because my scores are all on me. I believe I will pass but honestly I do not know for sure. I have...

    Current Freshman willing to answer questions

    1. What do you and other cadets do in your limited free time? As in, what do you do for fun? 2. Do you know how common it is for the cadets to be second time applicants? I remember reading somewhere (but cannot find it) that about 1/3 of the Wing is composed of cadets that got in after...

    Summer Seminar Application Question

    Thank you for all the feedback! @USMAROTCFamily: That is how I first interpreted it as well. But then there would be no spot to put in-school community service. For example, I have over 300 community service hours, but all of it was while participating in JROTC or Beta Club sponsored activities...

    Summer Seminar

    This may be the wrong place to post this but I did not think a new thread was necessary. Do any of you know whether you could submit an ASVAB score for the summer seminar application? Thanks

    Application Format Question

    Just got a chance to look at the form for the Common Application (basically a standardized application system that many colleges use), and I noticed that in the activities section it asks the user to estimate the number of hours per week and weeks per year they spent in each activity they...

    MMA disciplines as a sport?

    Thank you Fencersmother, that is a good idea. Yes the different classes are separate in that each one has a different ranking system and separate competitions. Each is independent from the other. I could be X in this and Y in that, completely independent from each other. I am told that the...

    MMA disciplines as a sport?

    Thank you for your comments, I definitely intend to document all my activities within the studio. But in your opinions would there be any benefit from listing each discipline as a separate athletic activity on my application? So instead of filling out one spot with a blanket statement...

    MMA disciplines as a sport?

    I am very involved in my local MMA studio and was wondering whether or not each discipline I do can count as a different sport. To clarify, I take classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Submission Grappling several times per week. In addition, due to school and many other extra...

I have fully resolved to continue my Martial Arts training (Jiu Jitsu) and start exercising with a more dedicated...

    Advice for Athletics

    I want to thank everyone for all your input, I really appreciate it. Now that I can drive and have a handle on my academics and clubs, I plan to rejoin my jiu-jitsu gym. So on my application I should have that as a sport from 9-12th grade. I did consider cross-country for the obvious reason that...
