I have to ask!

<p>Megs,
You must be an excellent student because Pomona College and Harvy Mudd are top shelf schools. Do they allow students to dance at Baylor? ;) Getting Excited?</p>

<p>I'm very excited! And I know students dance at Baylor, although I'm not sure if they're "allowed" to... they still have paridals there--no guys in the girls dorms, and vice versa, after 8 pm on week nights and midnight (I think) on weekends! It's a very conservative school, to say the least.</p>

<p>I wanted to stay in California if I couldn’t swing USNA…If I don’t get the appointment :( I’ll be at UCLA next fall, unfortunately the NROTC scholarship didn't work out for me, though. I plan on trying for the academy at least a second time if this year doesn't work out. Hmm...Maybe I'll be offered NAPS?</p>

USNA appointment (declined)

<p>Yanks...I am interested in your school choices...my son has some similar and thought about WUSL. Is Norte Dame a NROTC school for you? Several of yur other schools do not do NROTC as in my sons case. What is your intended major? Best of luck with your decision!</p>

<p>Juniormom,</p>

<p>With 2 girls going through the college search process we visited quite a few schools of all different types. I visited Wash U. St. Louis just last week with my other daughter. I think it's likely my absolute favorite (for a civilian school of course) right now. I was impressed with everything I saw and heard.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Dear juniormom, </p>

<p>My choices weren't really based with NROTC Scholarship in mind. My parents (and Grandparents) have basically been saving every penny, (and I do not exaggerate) for college since my birth, no real grandiose expenditures. So I'm one of the fortunate ones that can say money is not a problem for me. Washu is a great school. Their Polic-sci program is amazing. The architecture reminded me of how they built D.C.: to seem intimidating to foreign visitors. I'm most likely going to be a political science or economics major, so Washu, home of presidential debates, is like Mecca to me. There's nothing wrong with it from what I can see, but it just doesn't hit my heart like notre dame and USNA do. Notre Dame and Northwestern, though, do have an NROTC program, and I plan to look into the non-scholarship course (ergo no service commitment) if I decide against USNA.</p>

<p>It's just the angst of choosing is all. My principal said "The decision sucks, but it's a good dilemma to have."</p>

<p>USMA: Appointed and going
USNA: Appointment
USAFA: Appointment
Notre Dame: Accepted and Army ROTC
Georgetown: Accepted--Army and Marine ROTC</p>
