i think its less about the geography can more about the congress men and women. each member of congress has a part in deciding military funding and sa class sizes. they probably decide other stuff too but I'm not sure on the specifics. Therefore each member gets to send a qualified candidate...

last year i applied for sls, i got a rejection letter within a month. I am aware of some people that were told to wait and wait and wait. If your denied, dont worry about it. For most of us the psat was the first ever SAT like thing we had ever taken. I Took the SAT and got a great score...

I know how you feel. I submitted my app the first week of september and thought about it several times a day. My scores were good, gpa was good, and my sports, ec's, and fitness tests were great. My whole plan is USNA, USMA, or enlistment. (still deciding between the academies) I don't want...

what about for rotc? I have that issue. thanks

I was diagnosed as "color vision deficiency" but I am positive I am not colorblind. I wouldn't like to compete with the 20-24 mids who can get waivers for it because it would be very tough and I'm not colorblind. I guess for some reason i just missed one too many on the test. How should I...

yo, dont choose based on the academics or sports, choose by which service you want to enter into and what branches they offer. also make sure that each academy has the major you want. i can tell you that all service academies are more or less, equally prestigious. each has its own regional...

what is his FALANT test, I think I'm in the same category as your ds. I'm pretty sure I can see in full color

improvement is better than doing worse or staying the same. but CLASS RANK CLASS RANK CLASS RANK

just a quick little question but i noticed how the portraits of previous classes mention the percent of 1st generation american. If you are a first generation american, does it help at all?

sorry for such are dumb question but i really havent had much time this summer to start my app or research about it. But are the letters of rec online.

id say your sats are better. Dude, dont say your not competitive because it IS possible to be appointed with an 1870. All depends on your district bro.

@ blackbird, your are right on the money. My local admissions rep told me I had to decide. I cant play both sides of the fence. I've chosen my dads district but its FAR less competitive. For the record though, Im 17 years old and about to be a senior in hs. THeres no custody agreement because...

there is no custody agreement. I pretty much spend time equally at each house. Ive got a room at both houses. I was just curious because if I could make the mailing address my mothers house because it would be a lot easier to pick up my mail every day as its on the way to my dads house. But i...
