Thanks to all of you who have shared your opinions and insights. It's been very useful and I appreciate you taking the time to post on this thread.

Thanks KPEngineer! This is so true! I'm counting on a lot of "reality checks" in the coming months / years :-) There's no substitute for experience. You raise an important point and something I've been trying to understand better. Having visited most of the maritime schools, there are a...

I've been researching as many sources as possible to fully evaluate a potential decision I may have before me if all goes well. I've attended as many on-site visits as possible for the past three years, as well as reading nearly every post on the subject in this forum. My I am struggling with...

On Friday I received a phone call and email confirming my nomination from Senator Murphy. Anyone else receive the same? Good luck out there for those in CT!

This is not a direct answer to your question but I hope it's helpful all the same. I am also taking AP Calc and not finding it easy - struggling with a high B but will be pushing as hard as possible for an A. I recently purchased Calculus software that enables me to check my work. There is a...

FYI - I received a letter by mail today stating interview time for this Saturday, 15 October. Check your mail today if not received already.

Yes, also waiting. I guess today or tomorrow there should be news for some. In the meantime I'm restraining myself as much as possible to not check the portal every minute. You're not alone :-)

I went through a similar process with my essay – I’ll share some advice I received in case it’s useful. It challenged me to rethink my approach. After you’ve completed your draft, identify each sentence that is unique only to you. This is the content that’s your story. These are the keepers...

I can’t say it is the best way, but I used this approach and made major improvements in all my weak areas. First, know your weak areas. If you don’t already have scores, have someone administer a full practice test as close to real conditions as possible. Let’s say for example you find Math...

Yes, I think you can significantly improve in the given time period. At least I can say that I followed a method for push-ups and more than doubled my count, e.g from 22 to over 50 and still going strong. There are a few methods you can research on-line, but this is what worked for me...
