<p>I really want to go to The Citadel. If all goes well, I plan to enlist in the Navy after graduating undergraduate school for 5+ years.</p>
<p>However, I need a little guidance on the first step. I don't technically play a school sport; does this demolish my chances of getting into this school or is it insignificant in my chances getting in? </p>
<p>I believe my GPA is decent enough (3.3 GPA with a medium workload), pretty good SAT scores (very high 1900's to low 2000's), and TONS of extra curriculars (Boy Scouts, co-founder of Car Club, co-president of two clubs, volunteer for the mentally disabled, etc, etc).</p>
<p>I also do Muay Thai (look it up on YouTube) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.</p>
<p>Would I have to play a sport to get in? If that is of the concern, then what is? Thank you!</p>
<p>I don’t know much about Citadel admissions…</p>
<p>If you are in good shape, and have some accomplishments in martial arts, that will help quite a bit. I don’t know how a 3.3 looks to the Citadel, but it is a little low for the federal service academies.</p>
<p>You could probably ask around in the service academy subforums, or at [url=<a href=“http://www.serviceacademyforums.com%5DUnited”>http://www.serviceacademyforums.com]United</a> States of America Service Academy Forums - Powered by vBulletin<a href=“they%20have%20a%20specific%20subforum%20for%20privately%20funded%20military%20schools”>/url</a></p>
<p>Also, if you have your degree, why go enlisted? Is there a specific job you want? I ask because military colleges usually prepare people to be officers rather than enlist. Nothing wrong with going either way, just pick the one that fits better.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, that was worded quite weirdly. That’s what 3 cups of coffee does to me.
My plan is to become an officer in the Navy, and take the one shot Navy officers have to become a Navy SEAL.</p>
