Will cadets have time to go to the Fort Knox gym at all during CIET? I leave 1st regiment on Friday. Will I at least have time for some "prison workouts" in the barracks. I've already heard that there isn't much in the way of PT.

I have a friend who is a Brother Rat at VMI who has decided to go from non-comm to commissioning. (At VMI you are required to take 2 years of Army ROTC even if you are not commissioning). He was trying to switch from Army to Air Force and pick up a contract. He was informed earlier today that...

I previously posted a thread about wanting to change my major from Civil Engineering to IS and Political Science at VMI. After contacting VMI on two separate occasions, which were months apart, I have been told twice that I will be unable to change to IS because of limited space, but that I may...

I received my STP confirmation today, and have been assigned to Chemistry 1 and lab. I did not put this course in any of my 3 choices, so I assume this was assigned based on the fact that I currently have a civil engineering major. However, after taking two years of college engineering classes...

I logged into my Post View account for VMI to make sure they had received all of my required documents and saw that they had added my final transcripts to the list (which I expected) as well as a box for "Add'l medical information". What is this? I'm a little paranoid now that either the doctor...

I received a 4 year AROTC Scholarship to VMI for civil engineering, but am seriously considering switching my major to international studies and political science (what I've actually wanted to do all along). I wanted to do engineering for a while because of the money and the fact that it is a...

I'm a little confused on what the 4 year AROTC Scholarship pays for and what it does not. Obviously, it pays for the entire tuition, as well as does NOT pay for room and board. But what of the other fees such as the auxillary fee, books, and specifically the quartermaster charge? i have received...

I was just wondering around what time I can expect to hear how much aid I will be getting from VMI after filling out the FAFSA? Does accepting an AROTC Scholarship decrease the amount of aid?

Since USNA is my dream school, I would have no problem attending NAPS for a year. Only thing is is that I have been told multiple times that I have no chance at NAPS because I am "too smart". They tell me that my SAT scores (540 math [which I thought was low] and 710 reading) as well as my GPA...

I recently took my fitness assessment and feel pretty confident in all of my score except for the shuttle run and the mile. On the shuttle run, I had a 9.4; but that is not the one that I am really worried about. I ran the mile in over 8 minutes...I guess I focused too much on the other events...

All of my application is finished, but my DoDMERB status still has not changed, so my application is not yet complete. I was required to send a few additional documents to the board and they have not gotten back to me as of yet. I called the board and they assured me that that part of the...

I was wondering how much the odds of an appointment offer change once you have received a nomination? I received my Congressman's nomination in the mail today and am now just waiting to hear back from the medical board. I should be good to go on that part. So how many candidates nationwide that...

I was able to see the results of my interview last week. I thought that the interview went just okay, I normally interview extremely well, but the PMS was a little impersonal and was generally uninterested in what I had to say, although he did say that he was very impressed by me afterwards and...

I am wondering about how easy it is to switch my school selection for an Army ROTC Scholarship. For example: I am offered a scholarship to VMI but want to go to The Citadel, is it hard to get this request granted? Talking to the PMS at The Citadel, he made it seem like an easy thing to do, but I...

Just wondering if anyone else on here will be attending the Citadel Scholars Comptetion tomorrow and Friday?

As I am filling out the application to the Honors Program at El Cid, I find myself wondering how long my responses to the free-response questions should be. They have no character limit, so if anyone can give me some insight on what Dr. Rhodes and the rest of them are looking for, that would be...

Anyone going to the open house on October 30-31? I was hoping to meet some of you if anyone was going on those dates.

I was accepted to the Citadel last week and also received a letter inviting me to apply to the honors program as well as an invitation to the Scholarship competition in November. First off, I was wondering how competitive the Honors program is. Since I received an invitation, should I get in...

I have decided that it is Marine Corps or nothing for me. If I do not get a commission I will enlist after college. My question is: if I do Marine Option NROTC without a scholarship, what are my best options, such as PLC, OCC, the 3 year scholarship, the commissioning program which pays stipends...
