IB is insane so if you are sure you wanna work take it, while A-level exams are much easier and you get to pick the subjects as well

International Student to Join ROTC in Uni of Richmond.?
International Student to Join ROTC in Uni of Richmond.?
I'm a 18-year-old student from Malaysia who has completed high school education, and University of Richmond is currently of my top options for furthering my studies in the USA for the fall 2012 intake. I really hope I as an international student can major in the Military Studies & Leadership course offered in the university. The problem now is that this course seems to be intertwined with the ROTC program of the United States, and are catered mainly to US citizens only. Well, I'm not a US citizen, I don't have any dual citizenship, yet I really want to study this course AND major in it, because I'm actually passionate in the field of military science and strategies, and I'm delighted to discover that such a course is offered in Uni of Richmond. Can someone tell me what do I have to do? I've checked a few sources on the Internet, including here on Yahoo! Answers, that said international students are indeed eligible for ROTC, but they didn't leave a clear answer as to whether I'll have to serve in the US Army upon graduation, or citizenship issues as well. So I'm still confused. One more thing about ROTC; this program grants full scholarships to successful or prospective applicants. Assuming that I don't need or want the scholarship, and I can submit proof that my parents/guardians can pay the necessary expenses covered, what do I do to tell the relevant authorities? And to cite a paragraph from the Uni of Richmond's undergraduate catalog on the Military Science & Leadership courses..."Military science and leadership classes may be taken by all University students. Class enrollment in the military leadership classes carries no U.S. Army commitment and there is no obligation to enroll for successive course offerings. College and/or commissioning credit may be awarded for prior military service, attendance at the ROTC Leader's Training Course, or Junior ROTC participation. International students desiring to attend military science and leadership classes must have written approval from their respective embassies prior to taking classes." What does this paragraph exactly mean? Can someone experienced please dissect the info contained here and give me a clearer picture? I'll really appreciate it. Thanks, and sorry for the long story here. I really do want to attend the course, and major and earn a degree in it, not just attend classes for fun. And based on the course structure provided, it seems that if you do not participate in the ROTC physical and leadership activities, the course won't seem complete. Please offer wise comments. Hope someone who is involved in the ROTC program or people who have experience in such matters can offer their opinions and comments.

only US citizens can be officers. you must be a US citizen to take the last 2 years of ROTC/be contracted. anyone can do the first 2 without being contracted. you cannot major in Military science unless you find a college that actually offers it as a degree option . they are elective courses only under ROTC.

The classes are run by the ROTC program, and are MANDATORY for those in ROTC (which is why they intertwine). BUT, anyone can take the military studies classes. However, you cannot partake in any other part of the ROTC program (uniforms, drill team, physical training, etc..) because you would not be accepted into the program because you are not a US citizen. You cannot do the leadership training course or take any military science classes after the 200 level. I shouldn't say you "can't" do the leadership course, but the Army is not going to waste their time or money on sending you to the Leadership Course when they can't use you later (you have to be a us citizen to be an officer) Univ. of Richmond does have a leadership major, but this is separate from ROTC. One last thing, there is not military studies & leadrshipp major. This is just what they call the ROTC program.

Can I apply to Delta Sigma Theta the same semester I transfer? (I accidentally posted in Malaysia the 1st time
Can I apply to Delta Sigma Theta the same semester I transfer? (I accidentally posted in Malaysia the 1st time
l was wondering what is the national rules as far transfer students go. The chapter at my school hasn't had a line for about 2 years, and every semester we (the interested girls) are told they are "coming back" but something always happens to stop them and I really would to like to pursue undergrad so I am transfering to a school in the same city with a very active chapter. I already know members at my new school from SGA and such events hosted together between the two schools and I am attending events at the new school now, plus I'm confident in my credentials, so now I am worried about being qualified. I've done research on all orgs before deciding that DST was what I would like to pursue so I know that AKA requires their applicants to have been a student the semester prior to applying. If they hold intake in the same semester I transfer would I be able to apply since I do have a GPA that is well above a 2.5 (my school lets transfers keep their GPA), or would I have to wait?
