    Studying abroad

    If you are involved in an ROTC program, does that prevent you from applying to programs of studying abroad for a semester or even a year? Or is this another thing that depends on the ROTC program and school that you are in? Thanks.

    Waiver for Reconstructed ACL

    When I was in 8th grade, I completely tore the ACL in my right knee, along with a partial tear of the meniscus. I had fully reconstructive surgery and never had a problem until 6 months later when I re-tore the same ACL (most likely due to too much activity, too soon). Again, I had surgery to...
