I haven't applied to service academies or ROTC scholarship due to citizenship requirements but I just wanted to tell this to people like me. I'm an E-3, soon to be midshipman and sea cadets really helped me realize my passion for military. I will be attending St.Louis College of Pharmacy but I...

You can also email summerprograms@usna.edu which is the same email for denying

Prepare for psat/sat/act PSAT doesn't have a big impact but if you qualify as semifinalist, it looks good

Oops sorry about that

You can't be in the military until you are a permanent resident or citizen so you'll have to wait until you have citizenship or permanent residence. You could also enlist and then go to OCS (officer candidate school) I don't know what your situation is but as far as I know you can't get...

Thanks, I've sent an email to the ROTC administrator at a nearby school so he should be able to answer my questions

Hello, I'm a high school senior looking into ROTC and while I am not eligible for scholarship due to citizenship, I was hoping to try it at least for my freshman and sophomore year in college. The school that I want to go to does not have a ROTC program so anyone who wants to do it has to go to...

I haven't been to AIM but I read in another post that you can wear contacts but you don't have much time in the morning to put them in and sometimes dirt can get in them so it's easier to just wear glasses Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

I think that's the case too. If you aren't considered for NAPS then the ACT will make you less competitive than those with 30+ ACT math. Of course I'm not saying that you won't get in with those scores, but you would have a higher chance by working on it

You could certainly try, although as fencersmother said, you wouldn't have that appoiment if the admissions thought that you weren't prepared for USMA Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Just to add, there's a lot of briefings too with the admissions counsellors, sports coaches and platoon leader (I don't know if everyone does, but ours did) Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

USNA definitely looks at physics better, but what's more important is doing well in your classes. I would take bio to do well, not take physics and do horribly in it just to show the admissions that I took it Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

They also tell you if you pass or fail Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app
