You never know, you might change your mind! :P Just kidding, I'm sure you're well on track to making the best decision for you and that's what's important. (If you wouldn't mind though, could you PM me your reasons for listing Drexel before SMCs? I'm just curious as to your rationale /...

Partayyy :D I got my acceptance letters from Virginia Military Institute and The Citadel (had a spare 2 seconds to read my mail last night)... which is REAL surprising because it's not even VMI's ED deadline yet and my interview is the day after tomorrow, haha! (And apparently I wasn't...

Mass Maritime visit Bruno, I didn't even realize you're from Mass - me too! :) I visited Mass Maritime a couple of days ago and WOW, is that a fantastic campus with fantastic professors. (And, apparently it's only 30 minutes from me - who knew?) I really like the fact that MMA cadets get...

I can't say for sure, but I do have some general thoughts. Only one SMC's application asked if I had applied for an ROTC scholarship (Norwich University). I think it may help on the application if he can put that he's been accepted under the "Awards" category because it shows that he is in...

Results Part One So I just got an e-mail from my admissions counselor at The Citadel... :D It was sent at 7PM so I was like, That's weird. But I opened it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I got in! :) Well, I mean, I'm about 98% sure, because she said, "You'll be getting a letter with great...

Lol, so they just called and said that my application hasn't been reviewed yet but will be reviewed within the next week...and then I'll get it in the mail within 10 days after THAT. Oh well.

Bruno - I somehow missed your post before; thanks for the advice!! I was reading about that on VMI's Website and it looked very interesting, and like something I'd be liable to sign up for. If I get accepted to VMI I'm definitely going to do that program. Still haven't heard from The...

So, I just got back from the post office. I opened the mailbox and right on top was something from The Citadel - this little tiny postcard. The address side was up; the first thought to cross my mind was, "Man, this could be the ULTIMATE skinny letter," haha... But it was actually just a...

Not yet! :X I'm going to the post office in a bit (day off, wahoo!) and hopefully it will be there by then... according to the Admissions Director it'll arrive by the 17th. I hate the waiting game!

If you are going to literally wait until the end of this semester (December, I presume) and submit your application then, I would say you're cutting it kind of close. I'm also applying to The Citadel and I read on a few other Websites that last year's class was pretty much all accepted by...

Yeah! :D She e-mailed me again, thanked me for the quick response, and said I'll have the decision within 10 days. Oh boy. :)

Welcome DougBetsy! :) I, too, was recommended here from collegeconfidential! Small world. =) If you have any questions about Army ROTC, the scholarship process, etc., please don't hesitate to ask. I went through the whole process, received one, and declined it 2 years ago (and now I'm...

All right, I guess they've already started to review my application at The Citadel :eek: I got an e-mail today from an Admissions Counselor asking me to e-mail over a document detailing my activities since High School. So I guess they didn't read the letter of recommendation, lol. The good...

Good idea. :wink: I don't understand why anyone actually pays for college, lol. Actually I do. I graduated from HS in 2007, applied for, received, and turned down an Army ROTC scholarship (couldn't afford room and board and books), and now I'm going through the whole application process...

Hi! I'm a Citadel applicant as well and wondered the same thing (plus I had an amazing essay that I wanted to submit!!)...so I called the admissions office and asked. lol. I'm very blunt. =) Not only do they not require an essay, but if he submits one, they won't read it. :eek: Their...
