I think he could manage without a car, the campus is very big but walkable. TAMU has a fairly reliable bus system for intracampus transportation. Keep in mind if he ever needed to go into town for dry cleaning or groceries he would definitely need a ride, unless he was OK with biking. Speaking...

TAMU offers instate tuition for cadets who receive a certain amount of scholarship money - I believe you have to receive $4000 to be eligible. Instate tuition isn't guaranteed with joining the corps at TAMU.

Gig em Aggies!!

Well, I just registered for the June 03 SAT and soon will probably do another SAT prep class to raise my math score. Here we go again is right!

If it helps your decision, to qualify for instate tuition at TAMU you first have to get $4000 in Corps scholarships

My family and friends are encouraging me to take the lightest load possible at school next fall (12-15 hours) in order for me to get good grades my first semester and to make it easier for me to transition to life at a senior military college... But my heart and brain are looking to resubmitting...

You can still commission after college without doing ROTC. Just because someone doesn't do ROTC in college doesn't mean they don't want to go into the military.

Che, I understand where you're from when you say you don't want to "annoy" your teachers for a rec letter because I felt the same emotion when I needed to ask my own for letters as well. But they are your teachers and they're there to help you and for someone to upload a letter for you takes...

I just got an email from the citadel telling me about it, here's what it said: The Citadel has 21 Cadet Companies - 19 of these are Rifle Companies; one is the Regimental Band, and one is an artillery battery. The battery is known as Palmetto Battery, and it has 100 Cadets of all classes...

I am also spending a year at TAMU and in the national guard. Next time I don't be making so many mistakes!

Whoop, the new CO is a TAMU '96 grad! Thanks and gig 'em! http://www.pnj.com/story/news/2017/04/04/blue-angels-commanding-officer-named-2018-season/100029060/

After not securing a nomination, I also received a TWE about a month ago. It definitely hurt but I've known based on where I go to school that I was never extremely competitive for '21. I can take some comfort in that I haven't met a lot of people who, after being turned down by USxA, pursued a...

Also - why do you think so many fish have punched this year?

What is really happening with the corps leadership? Are there really going to be huge changes in the fall? Who was pushing integration of formerly all-male outfits so hard - does the corps actually want to be fully integrated or is it the university who wanted it?

Whoop.... Gig em!!!

FWIW, when I went for a CVW, I didn't get a chance to work out with anyone. I forget what happened I just remember my plebe telling me I couldn't come with her for some reason (they were doing wrestling). Another girl I spoke to that went to a CVW asked her plebe if instead of working out she...

There's a taekwondo team. It's small and just a club, but it's definitely there. When I did my CVW, one of my plebe's roommates was on the TKD team. I'm on my phone so it's difficult for me to give you any links but just do a quick search on the USNA website's club sports section and you should...

BOYS STATE!! While you're there, get involved. Run for office, pass legislature... if you do really well they could ask you back next year as a counselor (huge bonus points for you and a great experience IMO) and if you do really really REALLY well, you could be picked to go to Boys Nation -...

There are a LOT of guys, and some gals, who are part of Greek life and the corps. It can be done.

I think I have it easy. Didn't even get a nomination so I already know 95% where I'm going and can start strengthing my app for 2022.
