college

I've been interested in joining an academy in the past but had changed my mind to potentially joining the national guard. From that experience, I know this is a great forum for help and I couldn't find any other good forums for asking questions. If anybody can, can someone tell me the success...

It's never too early to start planning for college. Admission representatives from the Five Service Academies will be holding an information day, for students in 7th through 12th grades. Parents are encouraged to attend with their student. This is a great time to learn about the Five Service...

Information: 15 years old GPA(unweighted): 4.05 Just finished the first semester of my freshmen year. Female Varsity field hockey sorta fit(still working on it) And DYING TO GO TO WEST POINT What do you think my chances of going there are? I already checked all the qualifications and...

It was suggested that I share my experience as a college re-applicant and some lessons I have learned along the way. Considering how much this forum has helped me keep my sanity during this process, I hope this can help some people who are currently CRP or who may receive a TWE. I am going to...

I received a 3 year AD high school scholarship this last fall and started taking classes in the fall. After a few weeks of school I made the decision to drop out of the AROTC program at my school for personal reasons. Now that the second semester is starting I’m now regretting my decision to...

I am curious, my DS received a 4 year AROTC scholarship. What happens or how does it work if it takes him longer to complete his Bachelors degree then the 4 years?

Hi all, Was looking for a better place to put this but couldn't find it. If, besides USNA, I'm looking at a civilian school that does not offer a NROTC program, my only option if I still want to be a naval officer is to go to OCS (I hope I am not misinformed here). So I have a few quick...

I graduated second in my high school with a 3.96 GPA. I am now studying aerospace engineering with a total of 19 credits at Iowa State University. I am struggling to keep my grades up in Calculus I and Chemistry for Engineering Students. I am currently at a low B in both the classes with A's in...

I'm a current college freshman thinking about reapplying to USNA as a college sophomore. I realize the application process is a while away, but I'm trying to get my ducks in line ahead of time. My biggest concern right now is what I should do for a letter of recommendation from an English...

Hey, Thanks to everyone on here who helped me with my application to the USNA last year. I received no nomination so I know I'm going to be rejected. Next year I do plan to reapply (following all the procedures layed out on the USNA's website) but I have a few questions. 1. When I reapply for...

So I am going to be attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach Campus) starting Fall 2017 and will be majoring in Aeronautical Science on scholarship from Army ROTC. I know it might be a long shot, but is there any guys or parents on here who have kids that are also going to...

Hi Everyone, So I completely finished my application meaning that I received my nomination, medical status, etc. The last item I had to send in was my college transcripts. They were processed last week but my GPA didn't change at all. I was expecting it to go up considering that I took...

Good morning everybody, A quick question on how USAFA admissions looks at college GPA for reapplicants. What is considered a competitive college GPA? I am a declared Aerospace Engineering major currently taking a 20 credit course load. The classes I am taking are Calculus 1, Physics 1, Intro...

Here is my situation. I've been in the army guard for a year and a half now and don't like it. The military is not for me and It's one of my biggest regrets. It's for some people but not me whether it's reserves or AD. I'm in college now and enrolled in ROTC taking MS1 and a PT class. my...

Hello, I've read many forums that have said going ROTC is well worth it as opposed to enlisting. My situation is a bit unique. Its been my lifelong dream to join the Navy. I applied for the NROTC Scholarship but did not get it. I applied for the AFROTC as a backup but did get that one. My issue...

Hi, I am an upcoming freshman and am thinking about applying to usma after I get my Associate Degree. I have received a ROTC scholarship so I may be able to get a PMS nom. My grades were not the best and my ACT score was a 29 which would make me barely competitive if at all. If I participate in...

Would I be a competitive applicant, even though I am applying as a college freshman? My high school gpa (unweighted) was 3.9 and I was a straight A student except for 2 B+ in freshman year. My class rank by the time I graduated was 24/399 so I was in the top 10%. I successfully completed the IB...

Is it possible to be accepted to the academy if you don't take classes they suggest such as calculus, chemistry, physics... even if I was to get a 4.0 in political science related courses. It would be my second time applying to the academy and I will have lots of club involvement and will be...
