    NMMI

    Its only authorized sometimes.. Its not in the admissions packet.. or maybe I haven't read it thoroughly enough. Check the NMMI website. And bring enough clothes to wear... your not going to be in uniform all the time.

    Getting Old DoDMerb Examination

    Hey I had a dodmerb done in OCT 2008. I called the dodmerb office and they told me the dodmerb was still good and all I had to do was start my application for USNA again. But when I log into my USNA admissions account it only gives me the option to go to the dodmerb site... How do I get them...

    Becoming a Marine Corp Officer: USNA or VMI, etc?

    Yeah like everyone said... It doesn't matter where you earn your commission. But some people want an Academy experience which in my opinion is like no other in the country. If you want the experience of an academy I advise you try to go to the USNA. If a commission is you main concern...

    Denied

    Foundation?

    That isnt a tution fee. Were you paying for your child to attend NAPS? No. The fees you listed are fees that look like they will be paid paid back through your pay anyway. Your didnt pay 12000-29000 for her to attend.

    Foundation?

    The Naval Academy Prep School? I have 3 friends there right now. I applied to the Naval Academy and was considered for NAPS. I would like to see your information that shows you have to pay for NAPS. Thats one of the big differences between NAPS and Foundation. With Foundation you need to pay...

    Valley Forge Military College

    I contacted my USNA BGO and I was told that If I complete the SAP program at any of the Military JR colleges that my application would greatly improve. My only question to you guys is what you think about the colleges? I mean it doesnt seem like Valley Forge is really represented on the...

    "whole person" concept

    If your taking a a few AP classes I would say a 2.8 If not then a 3.4 If you have a 3.4 1800+ SATs then you'll probably be going to the academy, if you dont have a nomination you'll be going to NAPS. My best friend only had a 1560 but was taking AP classes and had a 2.8 gpa. He's at NAPS...
