I wanted to advise those of you still waiting to check your portals. I just checked mine and was wonderfully delighted to see the message “congratulations! As of the 26th day of February 2019, an appointment is extended to you to attend the United States Merchant Marine Academy.” Hang in there...

I received a 4 year Type 2 AFROTC scholarship with a Technical Major!!! Email received 10 minutes ago! Good luck to everyone else waiting.

Congrats to your DS! Same here!

From my experience, I believe it could mean his application is being reviewed. As an applicant, the status in my portal changed to the one you described above about a week ago. And literally 40 minutes ago I was awarded the scholarship. However it may have been quicker for me since I was granted...

Do you no longer desire Air Force? Your prior posts indicated that Air Force was your #1.

Is Chapel Hill in state or out of state for your DS?

OP the only thing I can speak from is my experience with this exact same situation. I received a C in a spanish class towards the beginning of my high school career. Many told me not to retake it. But I chose to retake based on a couple criteria. 1) my GPA will increase followed by my class...

Did you take the September 8th ACT? That math section was extremely tricky. Hoping for a forgiving curve...

Is overuse ever a concern? I see you wrote the term “every day”, so I’m just curious if that is an exaggeration? I always read to put a pull-up bar in a neutral room and do a couple reps when walking either in or out. However when does the back rest? Similar to the fact that I wouldn’t go to the...

Could you explain this further? Is this mentioned on the USMMA website? Is this bending the rules?

Will they credit a black belt if achieved before high school?

Luckily for me I don’t have those handwriting issues. If I forget to put my name on school assignments, the teacher automatically assumes a female deserves credit for the work lol. My extreme handwriting OCD hinders the length of my ACT essays. I find my score a bit unusual. After receiving a 5...

Any student out there a victim of a 9 or better on the ACT writing section? I’ve taken the ACT with writing 4 times total, each attempt scoring an 8 on writing. I’ve heard the graders read through each essay in two minutes or less. I’m starting to think they grade on the amount written rather...

DoDMERB doesn’t perform drug tests? Tell me more about these background checks. Will the respected SA revoke the appointment for a mistruth?

Please, whatever you decide, DO NOT LIE!!! While at a CVW, I met another drag who appeared to be a natural born leader, very intelligent, athletically gifted, pretty much everything a service Academy would want in a candidate. However, later on he openly admitted to me and was proud of the fact...

This is incredible! Thanks for sharing! @CrewDad

I second this! As a student at a very populated high school, home-schoolers are more than welcome to try out for a sport. I play varsity baseball and three of my teammates happen to be home-schooled. Heck, students enrolled in the actual high school were cut in order to make room for the three...

A hiring manager for 20 years and an avid forum poster. Very impressive to say the least. Are your days longer than the rest of ours?
