Hi all,
First off I want to say congrats to everyone who has received an appointment! Way to go everyone! I havent heard anything from my top two schools yet (USAFA and USNA). I know that there are more appointments that have yet to come out but I'm going to assume that I will not be one of them. I guess I just want to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. With that being said I have a couple questions about the application process as a college freshman.
Nominations - Are my MOC's the same if I am in college out of state? Are interviews done via phone call?
Letters of Rec - Can I use the same letters as this year (updated) or should I try and get new people at college to write them?
College Choice - Does my school matter? Community college vs. 4 year school?
Classes - Should I be taking classes that mirror the SA freshman classes? Should I retake the SAT or should I just be focusing on classes at college?
ROTC - My plan is to be in either NROTC or AFROTC is this good or bad? 1) ROTC unit commander sees this as a lack of comittment to ROTC 2) SA sees this as a comittment to being a officer.
Any advice would be very helpful!
Thanks,
Kevster
