I've received some Pell Grant and Stanford Loan money, but the $$$ won't be disembursed until August, so do we pay now and get reimbursed later or can I wait until the money goes out in August?

Thanks for the inspirational letter! I'm ready to go, just have to wait ten days! All ahead flank!:thumb:

I had some trouble with my Band Director in my visits. He wasn't happy that I was going to be away during a parade and a competition so I could visit USMMA and USCGA. He did let me go on my trips in the end after I told him that my career in High School Band was almost over and I wanted a real...

Yeah, I was on my way back from the April Open House at USMMA when my awards presentation happened. My Band Director presented the appointment and received jaw drops and shocks across the room when he mentioned the $214,000 value of the education. Next highest scholarship presented that night...

What about TI-nspires? I have the one with the letter keypad at the bottom of the calculator. I do have a TI-84 keypad that can attach to the nspire. Would that work if nspires are not allowed?

When I was at the Open House this month, they mentioned that they had over 2000 applied, the highest they've had in years. There seems to have been a high interest rate in all of the academies though. I had 3 noms to USMMA, 2 to USNA, and 1 to USAFA. When I got my conditional appointment to...

According to the news websites, the shutdown should be adverted thanks to some deals (at least for now). Does that mean Open House is still on?

Heimertime, careful with throwing your name out there! The Cadre will be hunting for all of our backgrounds to add to the fun at Indoc!:thumb: By the way, congrats! Look forward to seeing all of you all in July!

Good going at asking around now! (Kudos and Bonus pts :biggrin:) You are at the best stage for Q/A. Are you looking at all of the academies or just some specific ones? I took the ACT five times before I got a 29 composite (31 English, 27 math.) Save all the awards you can because those look good...

I visited USMMA in the Open House in August and got hooked! Turned in my application that day! I'm going back for the Orientation in a few weeks to ask some more questions, show my uncle the place, find neat tips, and just enjoy the visit!

Oh, by the way, it is "Dual." My bad! :redface:

I loved studying U.S. History, so the material just clicked and stuck to me. Of course, we did TONS of notes and multiple essays to prepare. I didn't use any online guides, just my notes, my teacher, some practice test, and a study session.

Yeah, it just seems the logical thing to me for deckies to understand basic engineering. I mean, it is the Deck department who needs the engines, so I should at least have some knowledge of what makes my engines work. Kinda like Sir Admiral Max Horton, he was primarily deck for the Royal Navy...

So what is life as a Deck Officer with a QMED like? As a Deck Midshipman going for a QMED? I'm planning on taking the Maritime Operations and Technology major.

Moms get to pin on the USNR pin? She'd love that so much!

Great job, my new fellow classmate! Look forward to seeing you in July!

Yes, beachbumtokp15, I'm in AP Calculus and I plan on taking the AP exam. Even if I get a 5 (doubtful, more likely to get a 3 or 4, but one can wish:rolleyes:), I'm still taking Calc 1. At least I'll have knowledge in the material. I bought that Calculus for Dummies book and I feel so much more...

Thank goodness I already bought the Calculus for Dummies book! I never thought limits were so easy or that Calculus is simply just Differentiation and Integration!

Got the invitation today, it is 11 April. I also see the calender lists Parade Practice at 1605. Will we be able to watch that?

OK then, that works! Thanks for the advice :smile:
