    Do I have a shot?

    id say you have to get the SAT into 600's and 700's, especially since your from the south which is really competitive cause so many apply from there. maybe try the ACTs.

    3 pullups is the minimum passing (my brother was stellar in the cfa except for the pullups as he was 6'4'' 230ish, and he managed to get 5, but three was revealed to be the minimum) 8 min mile is the minimum too, at SLS last summer the admissions COL, he was assistant of admissions or...

    Worried about CFA...retaking it next week. Last minute tips?

    definitly take a practice test on your own. try and get a general time line from your admissions rep about when you have to take the cfa, and plan out a training schedule. I failed the pullups at sls, but i got an extension to retake it. i ran 2 miles 6 days a week, or at the very least 5, and...

    "Status Pending"

    On my candidate file online, in the box where it gives you updates on the status of your file (the orange symbol, the red x, the green thing), i've been stuck on status pending (the orange symbol), for a month or so. I applied and got into SLS, so i'm just wondering what the next step is. Am i...

    CFA Scores - Push ups help

    go to military.com and the fitness section. it has an obscene amount of articles with detailed workout plans that will increase your CFA score. Alot of it is written for the Army PFT, but its almost the same thing, and the same workouts will help for both the CFA/PFT. look into, i'm going into...

    Tell me what the strenghts are of The Citadel.

    its hard to follow your christian beliefs as a member as the military, or to at least abide by some of the major credos: thou shalt not kill etc etc. the military is a pretty violent, profane, NON CHRISTIAN institution where in the end, it is their sole job to protect the constitution from all...

    Good ROTC programs

    also, last thing: i haven't by any means gone out of my way to slander vmi or the citadel. i've posted a thread on a topic, for this instance ROTC and explaining that i'm not interested in the two so don't give info, and someone asked why.
