Most of you should remember me from back in the day. I haven't posted here in a while, but I thought I would tell you all the news. Level140roblox (some of you should remember him) and I were both accepted to West Point today. For those of you who do not know what West Point (The United States Military Academy) is, it is a 4-year college, where you receive a Bachelors of Science and a commission as an officer in the United States Army, along the ranks of two former presidents, generals, governors, congressman, astronauts, and many more. It has an acceptance rate of around 10% and was recently ranked the number 7 college in America by Forbes.

Oh, and the best part: it is completely free (~$400,000 scholarship). After you serve five years active duty, you are free to have a civilian job and owe absolutely no college bills.

So anyway, I couldn't have done this without Roblox. If it wasn't for programming that accelerated me into learning math, and eventually my other subjects, I probably wouldn't be here today. So thanks everyone :)

Good luck in the future!

Congragulations! That's an incredible achievement.

ROBLOX is great like that, I recently got accepted in RIT for game design and never would have gotten in without ROBLOX. They said they don't even consider GPAs below 3.0 since their average is 3.7 (I had 2.9), but they accepted me after seeing some of the coding I've done here. I thought I was the only one thanking ROBLOX to death, but your story is definitely better haha. I don't think I could ever bring myself to even apply to a military academy.

All Roblox has done for me is let me pass a majority of my time away. To me, Roblox is for the type of people who look forward to the day they die, because it will give them something to do.

Well done, Matthew! Hope to see you online in...actually, try to be done with roblox unless you work for them. It's a waste of talent.

The issue that I face is whether or not to be in the military haha. I want to, but I'm not the fittest of the bunch. Though congratz on the acceptance, and thank you for serving for our country, I appreciate it.

Nice...

If I ever joined the military willingly, I'd choose to go to West Point. I'd rather enter as an officer.

I wish you the best of luck. :)
