In my experience, hands-on is the way to go. Try talking to your coach, a PE teacher even. Somebody who's 'experienced' in the proper push-up procedure, and who can physically watch and instruct you. For example: My running stature wasn't perfect for a long time, and I knew this. I tried...

I just like how this is pretty much entirely offtopic and now answering her question on dress...

Would you give some tips regarding admission in regards to your GPA, composite ACT/SAT, and ECs? Also, district? Not trying to get too personal, I'd just like to know everything and anything regarding how you got in. Don't feel pressured just because I ask; if you feel it's too revealing, just...

Thank you, @Billberna , that answers my previous split on the matter. OP, as Billberna quoted, the writing is not required, but is suggested. Hope this helps :)

Apologies- when I said 'essay' I meant the 'writing' portion of the SAT/ACT. It's essentially an essay, so I said essay. Hope I didn't trip you or DiamondzPro up. As far as I'm aware, USMA and USNA require the writing portion of the SAT and/or ACT. USAFA does not require it, but it is strongly...

Ironic- that you tote the exchange as a cautionary tale of misinformation and sharing surface knowledge as fact when you've only seen this. Sensitivity has nothing to do with it: I've interacted with Wishful before, he interpreted my calling him 'mate' as an insult and you can see how he behaves...

1) Same boat as far as mathematics here, bud! I've only taken the ACT, so from that I'll tell you that the most important fact is speed reading. I'm not telling you to get through the text in an eye blink, but don't ingest every. single. stitch. of. verbiage. 1/2 the time it's unnecessary. Try...

Look, dude, I'm getting pretty sick of your passive-aggressive ****. I'm just trying to help the guy out. Mods here, parents, and people who've physically gotten in alike have told me exactly what I've told him right now for #3. I have experience in researching and questioning around for #2...

Before I start, let me just make it clear (as I do on any 'chance' thread I comment on) that accurate chancing on this site- as well as any site like CollegeConfidential or otherwise- is impossible. However, based on my opinion... you seem to be on the right track. I'm actually on about the...

If you're like me, @Full Metal Bulldog , not very long... :P

@Day-Tripper My father is completely obsessed with 1/35 tank sets. I recently bought him a circa 1943 T-34 Soviet tank along with a 'resting group of Soviet soldiers'. Unfortunately I'm not an invested sport of it, though, so I'm unsure if I got him a proper set for actually building with...

Hey, everyone! Love this community. Really, full of good people that genuinely seem to want to help you. I've gotten so many great responses, notably from @kinnem , @AROTC-dad , and @DesertCaliMom , among many others. So, because of that, just wanted to maybe make it a comforting place for...

Hey man, good for you, and welcome! Always nice to see new people. The only advice that I can give you is to try to do well in your AP courses, and perhaps try out for another leadership positions- like in Debate or Key Club. Not playing down your current accomplishments, obviously, just my 2...

Probably just about being young. People change, people's views shift. Highschool and you could say even the application processes for many SAs inadvertantly promotes self-service. It's all a big competition to see who can come out on top, for some people, especially those who want to get into a...

Yes, you should still be able to update your application with the new score until January (I think that's the cutoff, they say somewhere they'll accept scores until January 31st(?) but will accept late scores for tests taken before the cutoff date).

Look, man, you don't know me. I did try, I really did. Heck, I think that's pretty evident considering I didn't get a C or a D in the class. I'm not passing myself off as a victim of her at all, and I stick by that. But in analyzing my statement, simply because she knows content doesn't mean...

Hey man, I said that I wasn't trying to portray myself as the victim for a reason. I'll likely take AROTC-dad's advice in seeking out my Physics teacher. If I can't use my H Biology teacher, that is. I'm not complaining about having a teacher that didn't like me- I just don't need her hurting...

Hadn't thought much about that, but I wouldn't have the faintest idea about where to start... ...Suppose if that's the route to take, I should ask my guidance counselor...?

I don't mean to change the subject here, but a quick question since I feel it's appropriate- My school works on a basis of Physics->Chemistry->Biology->Choice (Technically, you could do nothing, but 9/10 people take an AP of any of them) My Physics teacher left. I'm in my Junior year, so I...

Thanks a ton, dude! Major props!
