Well, with the arrival of the TWE and all, I have to send a deposit somewhere. Right now, it's between RPI and VT. I'm leaning toward RPI because they gave us the most affordable financial aid package out of all the places I was accepted. But I feel like the Naval Academy would rather see...

(I put this in "off topic" because RPI is not a military college and I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to put it in the USNA forum. Please move it if this is out of place!) Hey everyone! Well, I'm starting to think about my Plan-Bs now, since I still have yet to hear anything from the...
