Citadel isn't exactly a hard place to be accepted to. Have a look at this: http://www3.citadel.edu/instresearch/cds2011_2012.pdf page 12, which shows the transfer numbers. About 60% of the transfer applicants were accepted. Minimum of 2.0 GPA which is, frankly, awful. Most people probably...

You don't need a scholarship to be commissioned, but it is very useful, since you are guaranteed a commission if you get a scholarship.

1) No. 2) As soon the application opens up. Go to their website now and find out. 3) You go to school on your own dime, or someone else's, and then work your butt off in every way and make yourself look good to the cadre, and then they might select you for a partial scholarship when and if...

I did not wear mine, but at one interview, I was asked why. With that said, I don't think any interviewer worth two cents would recommend you a nomination on you wearing your JROTC uniform.

Could've happened anywhere, and I don't think this really makes a true difference in the reflection of the character of The Citadel.

You will be getting a nice email from a man working for Citadel AROTC eventually, around June 1 of next year or so. In it will be a massive list of paperwork. The Citadel has gone to the gracious trouble of providing you with completed example versions of the more complex documents you will...

There is a saying about the American Senior Military Colleges (of which there are seven): "It's a bad place to be, but a great place to be from." I have most experience with The Citadel and VMI. The best thing about both schools once you graduate is the alumni network. You have tens of...

Brooks should be able to make uniforms. I know they have a contract for off-the-rack stuff with the Navy, but for the right price, I'm sure they do made-to-measure, and for the Army as well. Made-to-measure is NOT cheap, though. A suit might be $4000, at least. You can imagine what a uniform...

Nope.

Just take it. A lieutenant is a lieutenant. Most people don't get to be picky.

I wouldn't send in anything that's not asked for, or required, or recommended. If it doesn't mention sending in recommendations, then don't send in recommendations. If you're at the bottom of the list for a spot, and someone is fighting you for that spot, and they followed instructions...

Your scores are low, and so is your GPA. Look in the catalog they sent you at the average stats of appointees. They very well can call you a competitive candidate, then withdraw that declaration. My best advice to you is to TAKE THE SAT AGAIN, and also TAKE THE ACT, and also RAISE YOUR GPA as...

Yup, no Citadel essay. If your GPA is low, but they still might be interested in you, they may request that you do an essay, though.

I'm not sure of the advice I would give in this situation. From a purely judicial standpoint, a crime is a crime, and hers, underage drinking, does not simply go away because a crime was committed against her, especially considering it was after the fact. I think it would be wrong for such...

Everyone gets one.
