Just a little background before I pose my questions: I am currently outprocessing from West Point (was going to be a rising cow, or junior) and plan on applying to Georgia Tech as a transfer student starting this upcoming 2015 spring semester. I have considered doing an ROTC program but am...

To people who have attended or parents of those who have attended SLS, how do you find out what workshop you will be participating in? Do they tell you in advance or once you get there? :confused:

I am thinking about applying to and am considering many programs to attend this summer. Now as all of you know, and my parents so thoroughly reminded me, money indeed does not grow on trees, so I can't attend all of the ones I want to. Here are some of the ones I have applied to or will apply...

I have previously applied to both USNA STEM and the CalTech YESS program, and have recently learned that I got rejected from both. This bothers me because getting rejected from both tells me I must be doing something wrong or not have something that others have. For those who got accepted to...

If you are accepted to attend something (i.e. selective summer program, etc.), but are not able to go, does it still help your application?

Just wanted to post my current stats and ask if there's anything I should improve on, as well as a critique of my future plans: GPA: 3.95~/4.0 Class Rank: 33/691 PSAT: 63-math, 64-reading, 70-writing Extracurriculars: wrestling (9th grade only), track (9th grade only), football...

Will it detriment you in any way if one were not to stick with foreign language class (ie. will board look on it as failure to stick to things and not quit)...will only do 2 years (this and next year) because want to do another elective. Also, have this same question but in different matter with...

For those apply for any branch's ROTC scholarship, I recommend How to Win ROTC Scholarships by Chuck Brewer. It's written by a former Marine officer who previously served on an ROTC selection board, so he knows what he's talking about. It has really good info about how to make your app the best...

Which system do each of the following use in nominations (ie. designating principal vs. competitive selection): Sen. Isakson- Sen. Chambliss- Con. Linder- Thanks!:thumb:

Kind of a random question but as far as pressure on new recruits/cadets (i.e. physically, mentally, etc.), how does first year basic training at SAs compare to boot camp?

For those who don't yet know (from previous thread), USNA increased the age bracket in which you can attend STEM (now rising 10th and 11th graders can apply to attend). I plan on applying and attending...who else will do so? (This thread can also serve as a later acceptance thread.)

During this upcoming spring season, I had planned on doing 2 sports: lacrosse and track. After talking with my lacrosse coach, I now realize this would be impossible to do due to scheduling conflict. This is where my dilemma comes in: I have already done track during my freshman year, was...

One of the options I am considering is applying for an NROTC Scholarship. The problem is, I can't decide whether I will want to apply for a regular or marine option scholarship. First off, the only reason I would want to do Navy is to be a SEAL or maybe possibly a pilot (if don't get into...

It was a real eye opener and showed just how out of shape I was and how bad I need to improve. Disregarding the BBall Throw and Mile (I know...miserable fails) did I do okay on the rest for a first time with having never practicing doing it before? (I know, I should have...and will now start...

During the past few months, I have been in the process of working to get into my state's Governors Honor Program, having gotten a nomination, passing an achievement test, and attending county interviews, and today I got a rejection letter saying I would not be advancing to state interviews. It...

I am meeting with my BGO (not formal interview...yet, anyway, but just a discussion/questions, etc. kind of meeting), and was wondering what kind of attire I should wear?

My problem is that I have to slow down to almost a complete stop before turning around, which shave valuable seconds off my time. I don't know why, but it seems to be a habit I can't break, no matter how hard I try. Any advice...

I recently took a look over my current "resume" and noticed that while I am pretty well off in academics and athletics, I am severely lacking in leadership...here's my predicament: First off, I am a Cadet Corporal in my school's MCJROTC program...I have no staff positions (or positions at...

Is their a list of non-major related required classes 1st yr. cadets take?

I was just wondering if USNA accepted AP test scores for classes taken your senior year since you will already be in Plebe Summer by the time the scores come? Also, would the answer be the same for USAFA and USMA?
