So on the portal I did opt for the gov't issued plane ticket and the hotel accommodation. I reserved my hotel room through Double Tree but am not sure as to the plane ticket. Will I be receiving a ticket in the mail/email? Or will I have to reserve a ticket like the hotel room? Thank you!

Hi, so I'm a cadet candidate for the class of '18 but I have a problem. I split my knee open yesterday and required 4 stitches to close it. It's not big and will heal up within 10 days or so. However, will I need to report this to DODMERB? Also, I got the stitches out of the USA, so how will...

Just reiterating the title of my thread, but is the E-QIP the same as the SF86 form? I'm seeing other acceptees and parents use the terms interchangeably so am I correct to assume that they are? Thank you!

Does the ROTC scholarship (in particulars, the Army and Marine ROTC scholarships) cover medical fees/health insurance/health services fees (they go by different names depending on the college/university)? I just want to know so to be prepared for the financial cost, thank you!

I have had the fortune of receiving both a LOE from West Point and a LOA from USNA. However, this is where I am in a dilemma. I am a Michigan constituent and I have just recently learned that we Michiganders are only allowed to receive ONE NOMINATION. Thus, I must decide which SA I want to...

I received an email from an Army scholarship officer from an ivy league battalion. She said she wants to write me a LOR for my Ivy League's admissions board. She also said I am extremely competitive for the Ivy League school. Exactly how much can the officer sway admissions? Any...

I have taken all the math classes my school has to offer (up to and including AP Calc BC, but not AP Stats) I recently switched my AP Stats class with AP Psych b/c of the homework load. The class just doesn't justify the workload and I have to balance all of my extracurriculars as well. I...

I read some old threads regarding the essays and they had the same essay topics as this years but two essays. The instructions says "A essay with 250 to 300 words" with the two included topics. So does this mean a single essay with both topics or two separate ones that can go up to the...

Hi, I'm currently almost finished with my NROTC application. All I need to do is finish my essays. However, looking at my college majors, I do not like how you are basically locked into your major with NROTC. I am planning on submitting my application as the Marine Option instead the Navy...

Can you do ROTC undergrad and go onto medical school without doing the HSPS/USUHS route? So I would pay for all of medical school and only have that 4-year (+reserves) payback time? Or maybe HSPS w/o the military's money so I get promoted to captain but no extra service time? Thanks!
