<p>Thx Shogun. Yes, the USC is University of Southern California. There’s also Michigan State, Cornell, Tulane, and a couple others. These are all for academics. There’s a few more that are interested in my son for academics and sports.</p>
<p>Obviously, some of these are only really an option if something like an ROTC scholarship was available. There’s no way we could afford some of these schools. On the other hand, there are a couple that are offering full scholarships. That’s where it gets tricky.</p>
<p>We have gone ahead and applied to 3 of them already. They waived application fees, and other expenses. So, nothing really costing to have these in the background. However, 2 require an early acceptance application by December 1st. Those are tied to ROTC scholarships. The 2 with full ride scholarships we also need to see about soon. </p>
<p>My son and I have discussed it and think holding off on a couple; discarding a couple totally, and continuing to focus on the hopes of an Air Force Appointment in the next 3-5 weeks, might put things into better perspective. We’ll have to see. Thx for the input and offers. Later… Mike…</p>
