Do they serve extra time for attending the Masters Program? I understand that we pay for the education. Thank. you

My son is applying for the Masters of Engineering program where he can stay thru the end of next year and get his Masters. Did anyone else's son or daughter do this and if so does it direct where they commission? Thank you.

Paul. You will be there along w my son! He also had awesome opportunities to attend other excellent engineering schools but after visiting USNA he drank the kool aid and worked hard to get his application thru. I’ve been up and down on this whole process but I am incredibly proud of him and...

Are you allowed to accept a scholarship at a school even if you are not sure you are going to there? Also when do you need to let them know?

I understand that most families place a deposit on a backup college so that if the DD or DS is injured before I Day they have a school to go to in the fall vs waiting a year. By doing so, do you call the college and tell them what is going? Or just make a deposit and then decline the college...

My son has accepted his appointment to USNA and we are thrilled for him. Just visited the oral surgeon to check where his wisdom teeth were. He has no pain, etc. What do most people do re getting wisdom teeth out before I day? Would hate to have it done preventively and then have a...

Der_dad. What is your experience w the engineering program at CMU? Thanks

Thank you for the advice. He just heard from CMU last Saturday so we are heading there for an accepted students visit tonight. I've heard it is a kid-centric school that focuses on hands on learning.

Is anyone familiar with the NROTC program at Carnegie Mellon / University of Pittsburgh?

To go blue dad! I am a Michigan alum. My son got in the engineering school and stayed w some amazing NROTC at Michigan. Great group of kids and I wish him well! We also got into USNA. Did not yet receive an NROTC scholarship so prob heading to Annapolis. Bummer about the game. They looked so...

I'm reading this forum and again I'm not sure why some kids get in and some don't. My thoughts are with those whose children really wanted it but didn't get it. My DS did get an appointment at USNA. For some background info that might help others, we go to an incredibly competitive high...

Ken J. I'm a little concerned about your comment where you said service academies are not what they used to e in terms of who they accept and what is permitted. What do you mean by that? I have a DS who was accepted to the USNA plus two other top engineering programs. Can you kindly elaborate???

Thank you for your input. Of course he wants to be an Officer, otherwise he would not of applied to USNA or NROTC. I am just trying to understand the difference in the curriculum if he attends USNA or Michigan NROTC. Thank you

My DS received a nomination to USNA and was also accepted to Univ of Michigan Engineering, awaiting NROTC scholarship. We are still awaiting news from other schools. He is very strong academically and loves to create and tinker, working on a myriad of different projects in his spare time. He...
