Hey everyone,
I did not make the cut for the class of 2015. I wasn't a super star applicant (620R 580M SAT). Ultimately, I didn't make it in anywhere ( USNA, USMA, USAFA, USCGA) even though I had the nominations.
But I'm back! I am going to apply to the academy's again. At this point I am going to my state school and taking ROTC. I gave up the opportunity to go to MMI for a year of self prep.
My questions are:
I don't believe my high school teachers would be interested in writing letters of recommendations a second time for a student they haven't seen in a year. I am not taking math or English my first semester at school so how can I expect professors, which I barely know, to write LOR on my behalf? Can the academy's look back into their 'files' and reuse my old LOR?
Also,
Last year my motto was to finish the applications ASAP. However if I went ahead and completed them now I won't have anything new to put on them. I anticipate having many of college activities to add. Do I wait?
In addition,
Who do I send my forums to? My new college guidance counselor? or my old high school counselor?
Finally,
Do I retake my SAT's? and do the academies consider college ROTC?
Thanks everybody!
