Kids at MIT are smarter hands downs. If you don't believe me look at the stats. Also, this depends on your definition of smart.

Thank you for using common sense and logic when discussing, rather than freaking out like some people.

Ok I understand. I'm not vengeful about not getting an appointment because it's just how the world works sometimes. Best regards

You are a little off my friend, not a sample size of 1, but how about a sample size of over 5,000. My father used to be the head of admissions for MIT before we moved. Why else would I comment on a thread like this if I had no idea? Sorry, but you just do not have a clue. Arrogance seems to have...

All I'm saying is that I've never known a single kid that was a joke and got into mit, however I've known quite a few kids who have gone to the naval and Air Force academy with like a 22 act and very poor character. That doesn't happen at mit.

Thanks. That is another reason that I don't want to apply this spontaneously, I was to think about it for a while. I was also wondering if you knew anything else about the direct commissioning schools and how it works.

Very true

Those are some impressive scores bud. Did you do any prep or was this your first time taking it?

Yeah they will probably pull it. Hell I had a 99 in Ap calc ab and Ap calc bc. Also a 100 in ap physics 1 and 2 and I didn't even get in. So I would say that if you are getting below a B then you don't deserve to even go there.

That's true. I'm not applying just because I don't like the time restraints or that I don't want to go to a civilian school, the main reason is because I do not have a ROTC scholarship and I don't have that type of money. So now that I didn't get into cga I am going to a community college...

Ok I didn't realize it was that close to the deadline. I called them up after finding out about my rejection to uscga and they said to go ahead and apply. This was on Monday but I have sense decided to not apply since it is so late.

Go to MIT. The caliber of students is going to be way better and it will likely be more competitive. If you get into MIT then you are smart, no doubt about that, but as for Usma I have a friend who was wild in hs and was not overly academic and he went to Usma. I feel your opportunities and...

I was going to go to VMI but I figured it's too late to apply. I sent my stuff in a couple days ago but decided against completing the recommendations and what not simply because I felt like it would take to long to get there. And I have no ROTC scholarship

Sarah, I really appreciate your thoughtful response. I have definitely learned things from applying this year that would make me a better candidate, but I do not know if I really want to get rejected again, as well as hunt down all the teachers that gave me a LOR and ask again. At this point in...

What makes you say that?
