    Diverting Focus to ROTC

    Thanks for the replies. The process makes more sense now. Do you think any weight would be given to waiver consideration if I participate in ROTC without issues for a year or 2?

    Diverting Focus to ROTC

    I've had my heart set on the academies(particularly West Point), but on Friday I found out that the USMA doctors denied me from medical waiver consideration. I'm hoping ROTC will have a different view on my conditions which I believe to be very borderline between DQ and a waiver. But, since...

    Best of Luck

    Plan B and C are in action and Plan A is still available. I will explain. Plan A.West Point. I'm currently exploring my options to appeal my case to the superintendent as he has the final say. I'm merely looking at this as another test on the road the West Point. USAFA has also not made their...

    Best of Luck

    It sucks being told that you can't do something when you know that you could have done it and that you would have given it everything you had. My Regional Commander called me today to inform me that the USMA doctors had denied my medical waiver. The news was crushing and likely means that...

    Vacancy Winner

    It is probably those with principal nominations who are 3Qd. Basically, nobody else can take their spot until they accept or deny the appointment. If they deny, this early notification will give admissions more time to offer the spot to the next candidate. And the chance of denial is probably...

    What are my chances of getting in?

    Is your 1200 out of 1600 or 2400? 60% of your app is academics so focus on getting your SAT scores up and try the ACT also. your GPA is solid if that is unweighted. Your leadership is good. Focus on getting a varsity letter and team captain status. start training for the CFA as soon as...

    Double Major and Validating

    From what I've heard, you need a lot of credits validated if you want to pursue a double major. It's not easy but not impossible. Validation is a lot harder at the academies. They look at your AP scores and they have their own tests. I suppose someone who has been there done that could better...

    I received a nomination letter from Portman right before Christmas and today I received a letter from Portman inviting me and my family to actually meet him at a reception in Columbus. Received a letter from Senator Brown after Christmas stating that because Portman nominated me I did not...

    Use Service Academy CFA in place of ROTC PFA?

    Take the PFA. On my CFA, I did 54 push ups in 2 minutes. On my PFA, I did 54 push ups in 1 minute. The CFA is much more difficult and will dramatically reduce your scores.

    Scholarship Applications

    Although I've been nominated to USMA and USAFA, I'm also medically disqualified. Therefore, I'm keeping an open mind about where I'll be attending school in the fall. In order to help pay for these schools, I'm applying to national and local scholarships that I qualify for. Most of the...

    Since we know Brown and Portman meet, and if MosMom's theory is correct, then it makes sense that I didn't hear anything from Brown yet.
