    Prep or Not?

    I was classmates with your son this year! I'm proud to call him a friend. I'm also heading to USMA so I look forward to seeing him again!

    Civil Prep

    The schools/programs also have their own scholarships that they offer, especially to the Civil Prepsters. When I received my Civil Prep offer last year, every school contacted me very shortly after and offered scholarships, either matching or being more than the AOG portion. It isn't ride free...

    E-qip

    When I submitted mine, I didn't get an e-mail confirmation until the next day. Just curious, is your son able to log back in? I know I can't right now after submitting it, but I'm not sure if that's a concrete method of checking.

    Admissions committee

    Your question actually reminded me a video on the academies I watched not too long ago. This is actually footage from a USNA admissions meeting, and it's from a while ago it seems, so how accurate or relevant it is to today is not my guess of course. I still think it's fascinating, def worth a...

    Civil Prep

    This is my experience from last year, it'll vary of course. I got a call from my RC mid-March that I was most likely not going to be appointed (but would still be eligible to if it were to be possible), and asked if I was interested in Civil Prep. I said yes, and he said he would put my name...

    Any Massachusetts appointments?

    Can confirm that MA02 is a competitive slate. I believe Senator Markey's slate is as well, not sure about Senator Warren. Hope I get to meet your DS soon, by the way! I'd be surprised if our paths don't cross sooner or later, being same district.

    To OP: Definitely time table wise, get any high school transcripts/letters of recommendation before summer gets out. Most high school teachers are out for the summer, and it might be a pain to get everything if you're away at a new school in the fall.

    MA-02, haven't heard anything. I was told I'm second on my slate if it makes a difference.

    Is Anyone Still Waiting?

    Got several calls from a DC line that turned out to be a telemarketer... I remember I used to sit by the mailbox during the time frame the post office would come, and even recognize the difference between the sounds of UPS/FedEx trucks and the post office ones (well I work in retail and...

    Civil Air Patrol

    Currently a CAP cadet. Current Eaker working on Spaatz, several encampments, the expected package. :cool: As a CAP cadet it definitely helped me with a lot of the smaller details, like drill and customs and courtesies. I had a little bit of a change as I'm Army ROTC, but I didn't feel...
