    Delta Airlines did us a solid

    There was a typo on the Citadel CSI information and it looked like students could arrive as late as 2300 on July 5th so we got #2 son tickets where he would arrive at 1000 - What CSI really meant was students should arrive NLT 1100. We of course had purchased non-refundable tickets. So I...

    Chances of getting into USMA (West Point)

    It only costs time and effort to apply. There is Army ROTC if your goal is service and commission. For the Corps of Cadets experience there are the senior military colleges. Citadel is of course the best, then there is always VMI, Texas A&M, Norwich , VA Tech and GA Tech -

    Unsolicited ROTC scholarships?

    He has until 7/6 at midnight to accept but he's going to stick with his NROTC Scholarship and Citadel Leadership Scholars package already has in motion - though the higher monthly stipend was tempting. I guess his e-mail has exploded with ROTC units offering assistance at onboarding to...

    Unsolicited ROTC scholarships?

    Mine is doing due diligence on the offer. He already has NROTC 4 -year and several scholarships from Citadel so it's not a 'need' to be able to pay for school.

    Finalization Of NROTC App

    I'd think your PT scores and lack of a team sport ( XC, Track, Swimming, Wrestling and such seem to be treated as tier 2 sports ) will be your biggest negatives. Good luck

    Is my GPA sufficient for VMI?

    Yank I'd say you're in the hunt. Get good test scores. Average GPA 3.65 SAT Math 580 average 530-620 range of middle 50% SAT Critical Reading 578 average 530-620 range of middle 50% SAT Writing Not reported ACT Composite 26 average 23-30 range of middle 50% There is a much better school...

    Do I have a chance at any 4-year scholarship?

    Listen to Crew Dad - I'd figure out who the VB coach is and call them - don't take the first no as no maybe find some other league or sport. Seems to me you absolutely MUST raise those test scores. Maybe take both the SAT and ACT every time it's offered for a while. Good luck

    Do I have a chance at any 4-year scholarship?

    Which ROTC, army? I'd say you're missing a team sport as one glaring hole. Seems to me even riding the bench on a more 'team' sport like volleyball would help.

    What are my chances of acceptance into VMI?

    I'd say your chances are quite good - there is a even better school a few hundred miles south in Charleston .... My advice is to retake the ACT - does your school have an XC team that might be a help though sports like XC, Track, Swimming seem to be viewed at second tier for some reason .
