My son took a rolling duffle that folds into a pouch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AYXKL9S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o04_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think their percentage of appointments for both sponsored and non-sponsored preps is 99 to 100%. Check out this page on their website (https://marionmilitary.edu/sap-appointment-history/). This year there are 3 or 4 sponsored kids and maybe 8 self-preps for USMMA but I'm not sure... I'm just...

We are very impressed with MMI and our son is benefiting so much from the experience. The academics, at least the classes he was assigned are very strong. It's confusing though because the USMMA assigned him to Physics, Chem, Calculus, English Lit, Military Science, SAT prep and PT which is...

Nearly all, my DS is at MMI as a sponsored USMMA prep and I believe there are about 3 other sponsored preps there.

My DS is also at Marion as a sponsored USMMA prep... it is an incredible school and will do very much for your DS or DD. I highly recommend it!

Yes, Marion Military Institute (MMI) in Alabama has DIII sports programs but as an SAP your son most likely won't have time to play on a team. My son is there now and started practicing with the baseball team but his SAP workload was too much to do both and risk his grades slipping. As an SAP...

Yes, that would be nice

DS is a sponsored prep at MMI waiting for an appointment.. Last year he was on "Hold" until early June and then offered a spot at MMI. You would think we would be used to the waiting from last year but nope :-) It looks like USMMA prep students at MMI don't get their appointments until mid...

Does anyone know what split the baseball players normally get?

@golfindad - you are very close on the portions paid for prep school. Our DS is a sponsored prep (SAP) and it was about 1/2 paid by MMI scholarship and 1/4 paid by USMMA, leaving us with the remaining 1/4. I agree that the process is long and complicated to weed out the less dedicated. I...

DS was 3Q and on "Hold" all the way until the beginning of June and then offered a spot at the Prep School. He had multiple baseball scholarships from other colleges that he had to decline during the waiting period... very hard to wait and wonder! He is at MMI now and I think it is for the...

@peppypea - my DS is at MMI this year too, didn't quite make the cut last year... was on HOLD until May something and then was offered a sponsored spot at MMI... fingers crossed he will hear something soon for class of 2023!

This is spot on - MMI (Marion) is all about West Point! My son is there now and the head of the SAP program (for all academies) is a USMA graduate. Seventeen MMI cadets have already received their appointments for this year under him!

@Undecided2023 - are you going for one of the other SAs? which one and what state are you from? DS is hoping to meet others before he reports later this summer... we're in VA.

Congratulations, you must be so proud !!! Still believing in divine intervention for our DS.
