<p>If you graduate high school, and have an associate's degree, are you sure that you'll be able to apply as a freshman, and won't be considered a transfer student? That could affect your chances - you may want to check with the schools.</p>

5

<p>UMich will be a reach for you (OOS).</p>

6

<p>I think (I could be wrong) that in Florida, if you have an AA you are a gauranteed transfer to a Florida public school. So UF would be definite for you.</p>

7

<p>keep um coming!!!!</p>

<p>you're probably not eligible to apply to college as a freshman and will have to apply as a junior (you have an AA or nearly enough credits) check with specific schools?</p>

11

<p>really? I thought I could apply as a freshman due to the graduating at the same time.</p>

12

<p>You're gonna have to pick an Academy because Congressmen aren't going to give you 2 of their recommendations. And they will both be reaches with those SATs.</p>

13

<p>yes Im going to retake the SAT. Also that is not true, you can get two letters of recommendation to 2 diffrent academies.</p>

14

<p>im in the same situation as you. You can apply as a freshman, however, u will be able to transfer your credits!</p>

15

<p>Your SATs are low for BU. Have you looked at large state schools like Indiana U, Ohio U, Ohio State, Texas A&M? Of your list, U Florida, Penn State, and Purdue sound like good bets. I think that U Mich and the California schools will be hard to get into.</p>

16

<p>With increases in your SAT scores you'll have a shot at a service academy. Your sports, Eagle Scout and JROTC will be appealing. You should also consider taking the ACT next 2 times it's offered. Many students actually do better on this test and the academies will look at the best subscores in your tests. This can lead to a higher composite.</p>

<p>Also, you should spend some time on the service academy threads.<br>

There are a lot of people with some great info on USNA and USAFA. Finally the University of Illinois in Champaign has a very strong aeronautics program.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>You are in at Florida and Purdue you have good chances at getting in, but i'm not really sure if you are a match for purdue. The rest i have no idea. Could you respond to my thread also please.</p>
