    Football games

    There are 40 periods for class. Each day, m days and T-days are a period. So first day of class is M-1, second day-2 last day of that class is m-40. Prog is midterms. But doesn't mean there's tests just it's the middle of the semester. Just depends on when the away game would be.

    Back-Up Plan?

    It might not be the leadership, but maybe how you present it? I, compared to most, don't have a lot of leadership here. Actually none. However when going up for jobs I always find a way to show my character through my experiences. Bad examples can work too. Ex: I wasn't the best at leadership...

    Is it worth it?

    Depends on your goals For 30% we thought it was worth reapplying. For 30% something here was worth doing an extra year or two. You get what you put in here. For me? Combination of free college (which influenced my sibling(s) ability to go to medical school or college at all), wanting to be a...

    Why are academically qualified candidates receiving Falcon Foundation Scholarships?

    Should I buzz myself before BCT?

    I have, and can't wait to be on the other side on I-Day. Fun to watch the next class come in, more fun to be the ones doing the welcoming.

    Should I buzz myself before BCT?

    Haha save time on I-Day that's a good one haha. You won't "save time" we have you on schuedle don't worry. Everyone moves with someone so if you're not getting it cut you're waiting on the rest of the group. You'll just be getting yelled at no matter what. Hair might be the only break you get...

    Decision Day

    Do plan B, if you get a letter most colleges understand. Worst case you paid what 250 for college? Versus not having a school at all.
