I'm going to be brutally honest. Don't come to The Citadel "expecting" anything. It's not for everyone. It's not USMA, it's not VMI, it's nothing but The Citadel. It has its own culture. You're a knob, get used to things not being your way. I'm only telling you this because you've chosen the...

Oh boy.

I know cadets that turned out to be outstanding that didn't attend the summer program and I know cadets who attended the summer program that turned out to lack the proper discipline of what makes the better trained cadet. It depends on how much you're going to put into it. Here's my advice...

The rigors of The Citadel, particularly during Knob Year are at the very minimum, parallel to USNA, especially if pursuing a contact with the Naval Department. It should be known that no scholarships/contracts are just handed out, you have to earn them. Especially with the Marine contingency...

3.75 with JROTC puts you in an excellent position for admissions. Maintain the grades and you should be okay. The Citadel is not necessarily "easy" to get in to. Your uncle may have attended the institute when the expectations of the Admissions department were not so high. Times have changed...

You'll be able to join these activities once you come here. You will have more than enough on your plate knob year. My advice is you worry about what's necessary first. Last thing you need is a boxing class when you're physically beat from your day.

Bracing, 120 spm, and clean ups are not hazing. That's standard. Good luck to all those who decide to go to El Cid. :thumb:

Oh yeah, you guys are going to have a grand time. :yllol:

If it's able to be covered you should be fine. If you want an honest response from an insider, PM me a description of it, how large, why you got it, and if you plan on getting anymore.

Congratulations! Best of luck!

I can say that the bouncing around schools will probably not be looked at positively in that it shows you may not have a will to commit. The Citadel has rolling admissions, so if you do decide to take a semester of school, send you app and transcript in IMMEDIATELY after the semester is...

The Fourth Class system will teach you more about yourself than anything preceding it. I always have the option of changing my mind and contracting with the army but as of now I am deciding against it. It isn't my desire anymore. You'll see what I mean when you get here. If you get accepted...

I'm currently at The Citadel and all I can say is that IF you do get accepted, take time out to see the institution and environment before making the decision to come. Make sure you are mentally and physically prepared. It's very tough here, I won't lie. Best of luck. BTW, I was stuck on...

I am in need of serious advice and help. Here's the situation. I understand some of you may not have all the information required to answer my questions, but I am still attempting to get all the help I can get. I know that some incoming knobs are already enlisted in the armed forces...

:smile: I'm so happy for you. Congratulations. :thumb:

ANy of you have experience/recommendations on how about I should ship my stuff from Southern California to The Citadel?

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'm getting more and more nervous. I hope I'm not the only one! Hahaha :redface:

So has a decision been made?

Does VMI specify an admissions counselor for you? I've been in constant contact with my admissions counselor. Definitely talk to your counselor if that's the case. If not, just email general admissions. There's nothing wrong in bargaining your FUTURE. :) Good luck with everything. BTW. If...

Yeah, I just sent in my deposit and forms today by FedEx. Should be arriving over there on Monday. Costed me $26!!!
