    Summer Seminar?

    Hey, Only a freshman? SS doesn't accept applications until the winter of junior year. It's not quite time to worry yet. Also, sounds like a cool curriculum at your school. Always grateful, LCDCALR

    Leadership Positions and Clubs

    Hey, The thing is, I just discussed that I have an issue with clubs and you're throwing clubs at me. It's like saying I don't like ice cream and you telling me I just haven't tried the right flavor yet, when it's not the flavor I mind but the texture. New organizations don't solve my...

    Leadership Positions and Clubs

    Hey, Sorry if I wasn't exactly being clear. I DO believe in leadership. I'm a leader in many things, some of which you mentioned (sports team captain, squad leader and designated Aerospace NCO in CAP (soon to be first sergeant), leader of children's hospital fundraising group, etc.), not to...

    Iron Man 2 scene

    Hey, It wasn't THAT bad.... 7 out of 10 for the action, 4/10 for how much any of the storyline made sense. I mean, really? Shine a laser on a triangle and you get a new element? Come on... Plus none of it really meshed with the first one. Always grateful, LCDCALR

    Leadership Positions and Clubs

    Hey, I'm applying for the Class of 2015, and understand that the Academy is looking for the ever-quoted "whole-person concept." I'm admittedly strongest in academics, but am also athletic and do community service regularly. My question is, though, where the Academy asks for leadership...

    food for thought...

    I call it "usafa" as a word, too. It's quick and the people I speak with about it immediately understand me.

    How competitive is it to gain a nomination in Indiana?

    You live in Indiana too? I know three people interested in the AFA, two thinking about USNA, and three trying for USMA at my school alone (1400 students). Not sure how many are eligible for a nom, but that seems like a lot from one town.

    Citadel Questions???

    But is the academic program as tough?

    ACT Scores

    When you say the higher between SAT and ACT, how would you compare them? As in, percentage difference from the average?

    Choosing a Major

    You spoke about validating courses. How exactly is this done? How do you apply to validate some courses? I have a pre-engineering department at my school which gives college credit for most of its classes, but they are all for Purdue University. Can these be transferred, to validate some...

    Official Candidate...

    So, I am not old enough to begin applying yet (I fill out the precandidate questionnaire in December). Do the ALO and my congressmen want letters from me on my academic progress, to become acquainted with me before I actually begin applying? It seems very early.

    Michael Jackson just died

    We lost a legend. Michael Jackson produced some of the greatest music of the century. He will be sorely missed by fans and the media alike.:frown:

    SAT Scores, should I send these?

    Speaking of SAT's... does the Academy look at PSAT scores also? I haven't taken the SAT, but based on my PSAT I should get a 2030. Does being a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist count for anything? (Which I'm not yet, since I'll be a junior this coming year.)

    Choosing a Major

    I understand the core is very large, and actually love math and engineering. But how many classes can be devoted to a major per year? Do you get more non-core classes as a second and first class cadet? Do some majors substitute core classes for more advanced ones of the same topic? Sorry about...

    Choosing a Major

    I know I'm thinking way ahead. Perhaps too far ahead. Can anyone describe the majors at the Academy? I'm interested in Military Strategic Studies and Ops Research, to be exact. Perhaps an alumnus could elaborate on the two disciplines?

    Can People List their qualifications that got them into the Acadamey?

    Making plans? To meet at the Academy? Sign me up! No, but really. It would be great to have read all about someone on this forum and then actually meet them there.

    Joke for the Day

    An engineer, a doctor, and a lawyer are golfing one day, and the people ahead of them are going very slow. So, they ask the course manager what the deal with this group was. "Them? They are a group of firefighters who saved the clubhouse from burning down a few years back. Unfortunately, they...

    Nomination Likely?

    So do YOU think I'm doing enough?

    Nomination Likely?

    I heard some advice NOT to worry about others, that I can only improve myself. Is there a contradiction here?
