Hello everyone, I have recently received a full NROTC scholarship to VMI and an appointment to USMA. I have always envisioned myself in the US Navy, but this offer to WP is making me reconsider. First of all, it seems that the academics at WP may be broader and more established than that of...

Why is the acceptance rate at The Citadel 77% and the acceptance rate at VMI 44%. Is VMI just a more selective school? It seems to me that this suggests that VMI is the academically stronger school (with SAT's, GPA, class rank). Does anybody have any insight?

Hello all, I have a 3'Q + Nom + Medical waiver + CVW invite. According to the following paragraph from the USNA website, does this mean (statistically) that I have a 75% chance at gaining an appointment to USNA? That is what my BGO has told me. However, it seems that there is confusion as to...

I have been awarded the full ride academic scholarship to attend The Citadel. I must either accept or deny this scholarship offer by January 10, 2014. However, I would rather go to USNA or USCGA. I have a 3Q + Nom for USNA and have been waitlisted for USCGA. Given that I will not know on the...

How many people have gotten BFE's from USCGA Admissions who applied EA1 and were not recruited athletes?

It is my first choice to attend the US Naval Academy. For both my Maryland senators and my congressmen I listed USNA as #1 on the "order of preferences".

Is anyone else experiencing a TMJ disqualification from DoDMERB?

I have hear from various sources that the USMMA is not on par to the other Academies. Does anyone have any insight into how this Academy compares to other service academies academically and professionally? Has the USMMA really deteriorated from prestige?
