I've completed both my medical and optometrist exams a week ago. My DoDMETS account says my exams are complete and that my physicians will send the needed materials to DoDMERB, by my DoDMERB account still says "Awaiting Receipt of Initial Medical Exam." Do I need to do anything else, or is this...

I admit it was far harder than it should have been and there have been several moments where I regret my decision even though I know it was the right thing to do. Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you, this is very helpful for my peace of mind.

Before I go any further, I want to state that I know I have made a grave mistake (several, in fact). I am prepared to be disqualified and I understand that my actions will have consequences. However, I would also very much like to not be disqualified and I believe that I have grown since my...

I am planning on doing cross country this coming fall, but I had assumed that it wouldn’t be enough to be a factor; is this not true? Is there genuine admissions benefit from playing a sport in senior year only? (I’ll play regardless, just wondering if my assumptions were wrong.)

So you're saying I should originally accept the scholarship for my #1 school, but make sure to include safety schools in my scholarship application so that I have the option to transfer if I'm rejected from UCLA? Thank you for your help!

My top (non-SA) schools are UCLA, Berkeley, and University of Michigan. I feel like I have a decent shot at each, but obviously the UCs especially are difficult to get into and I can't be sure of anything until I see the acceptance/rejection letter in front of me. However, I don't want to simply...

Hello all, I am in high school and I hope to get my commission into the ARNG through ROTC in several years. While looking through MOS's and trying to get a feel for what I want my future to look like, I decided that I want to be as hands-on and in-the-field of a PL as is possible. I recognize...
