    Getting in shape

    Not to butt in here but I'm also headed to the Citadel. If I were you I would try to pick up the SAT a bit. Also if you can do an interview and make sure to let them know about your extra curriculars; they do make a difference. Good luck

    Question about the Citadel and VMI

    Your ECs are great. I'm going to the Citadel starting this year, I can't really speak for the others in my freshman class but you can check collegeview.com to get an idea of the average SAT and GPA Just my opinion but you probably will get into the Citadel. Good luck

    The Citadel!

    Not yet. I called a few weeks ago to ask about when we would get a packing list and the admissions office said it would come sometime in the summer. Not the most helpful reply but hopefully we'll get something in the next few weeks.

    Braces and ROTC

    I was recently offered an AROTC scholarship and haven't had my DoDmerb exam done yet. I wear braces. Is this going to be an issue or will I be able to keep them on while in freshman year?

    Army 4-Year Schol. vs "3 year advance designee scholarship"

    This was the only offer I received as it was the only school I listed that I was accepted to. Regardless of whether I can get it upgraded I still plan to go. My family is covering room and board so 1 year of out of state tuition at the citadel (27k) only puts me 3k above the average debt of...

    Army 4-Year Schol. vs "3 year advance designee scholarship"

    I recently was awarded a 3 year ad scholarship to the Citadel in SC. As an out of state student (New Yorker) what are the odds I could get this scholarship upgraded to a 4 year if people decline their 4 year scholarships? The out of state tuition is about 27k btw

    Valley Forge Military College

    First, congrats thats wonderful. I'm just wondering, when your in a program like that how big of a role can your high school GPA play in the appointment process? That was the main reason why I didn't apply this year and I'm hoping that if I do well academically in a prep program they will look...

    Valley Forge Military College

    I am very interested in the Service Academy prep program there. Could you please tell me about some of your experiences and also some of the actual facts about the program. The website for VFMA&C doesn't give any specific details. I was wondering what percentage of people without a scholarship...
