• Application Materials
  Careful planning can help you create an application that distinguishes you from the competition.
• Give Yourself Some Credit
  Jump-start your education by converting your military experience into college credit.
• Letters of Recommendation
  Schools use letters of recommendation to learn more about you.
• The Path of Least Resistance
  Why you shouldn’t pick a school based solely on the credits you can get for your military training and experience.
