    Turned Down Appointment - Reapply?

    Thanks USNA, you are really echoing how I feel and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the encouragement. It's inspirational, as this has been a tough path for me; but I know it will only help me learn and grow in the end.

    Turned Down Appointment - Reapply?

    Turned Down Appointment - Reapply?

    Thanks for the info and advice everyone. Like I said, I did not make my decision lightly at all - it is the hardest thing I have ever done and had never been so honored as to receive an appointment. This was my dream, which I worked many many years for. (I basically spent a 1/4 of my life...

    Turned Down Appointment - Reapply?

    AcademyFriend, I think that is a good point. Just to clarify, and give some background - I did not make my decision lightly. Receiving my appointment was the greatest honor I have ever been given and going to an academy and serving my country has been my dream since the 8th grade. I worked...

    Turned Down Appointment - Reapply?

    I have an interesting situation, but I have certainly learned a lot. I received an LOA and subsequently an appointment to USMA (and USAFA as well). After accepting my USMA appointment, I changed my mind and decided to go to Civilian College instead. I will be starting College in about 2...

    WP Personal Life

    i think it is unfair to criticize the poster for the question. yes an academy is more than hooking up, no questions there. but it is normal for a young person at this age to want some sort of relationship- this is a crucial time in our lives. also, with the military commitment after the...

    I was admitted to West Point and USAFA. 4 year Navy and Army ROTC Scholarships to Notre Dame (where I was accepted). But denied to USNA? I'm at a lost. I wasn't even waitlisted, and I even told them it was my first choice. (Had a nomination to USNA, USMA, USAFA

    AROTC January Board Acceptance

    Hi, I was wondering how 3yr versus 4 yr scholarships work? I was offered a 3yr to Notre Dame, where I have already been accepted. I'm really disapointed because I can't afford Notre Dame without the scholarship and wasn't given an option to any of my other schools (which I think is odd seeing...
