    Working while in the VT Corps of Cadets?

    I am going to be a first year cadet at Virginia Tech and due to a lot of circumstances (it's a long story, PM me if you want the details) I didn't apply for an ROTC scholarship.

    How open should I be about applying to USNA?

    Non-STEM Appointments?

    How often do non-STEM students get appointments to USNA? I have interest in STEM subjects and particpate in some STEM extracurriculars, but a lot of my resume is geared towards government, as that is another one of my interests that I have found more opportunities in. Does this hinder my chances...

    Flat feet?

    Do flat feet disqualify a candidate? I did some basic search on Google that says that flat feet used to disqualify, but I couldn't find a clear consensus on if they currently require a waiver or not. Thank you!
