JMHO but I think a call to Howard University admissions on Monday is in order. If you're taking any Dual Enrollment courses, you might be able to angle it as a "transfer application"...(30 Apr deadline). Explain your situation. As you know, Howard is a part of the GWU NROTC orbit. I'd start...

The path to my commissioning in the Marine Corps was unusual but not unique, as I’ve known other very successful officers who have done it successfully. I fell short of USNA in high school but earned an NROTC-MO scholarship. After 18 months, I dropped my scholarship (back then you became...

DS won an NROTC-MO scholarship this year, 46 years after his dad. Look into the Presidential Volunteer Service Award program, SLCDA, Boys' State. Be a Captain of a sport. Seek public speaking opportunities such as the VFW's Voice of Democracy contest. Seek out leadership opportunities. Be...

As someone who has served in both 1stTkBn in the early '80s and 2ndTkBn during Desert Storm, the M1 is vastly superior. I'd take a platoon of M1's over a Battalion of M60s.

Good thing the Chinese don't have artillery or tanks.

It's my view that we are still in the 7th inning of the admissions game. Last year 162 admissions were reported on the forum. We've recorded 119 as of today. No rain on the horizon. Batter up!

The KP bloggers sure don't sugar coat their disdain. Visiting the campus was central to my DS acceptance decision. Recommend you visit and arrange to attend a couple of classes with a current MIDN. Eye-opening. IMO it's a great program but you need to get a taste of the academy before diving in.

Recommend you consult with your regional OSO (Officer Selection Office) first. You may be more suited to PLC-Combined, given your situation. You'll have to be at least 20 years old to gain a commission.

Congratulations! Your RS-XO will email you correspondence in the next few days. That correspondence, among other things, describes the process of changing schools.
