Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I didn’t get into the Naval Academy this year (Did get a nomination though; like a boss) so I’m going to my back up San Marcos. I got kinda focused on the academy and didn’t apply for NROTC like I should have so I’m just going to enter the program without a scholarship. BTW I checked and you can still do the college program (Or whatever it’s called) at San Marcos even if it’s a cross-town affiliate. I just don’t have a darn clue how to apply. Do I do it at Freshman Orientation or do I need to call and ask someone at San Diego State. The people I’ve emailed there have been useless so far and just keep telling me to apply for the scholarship next year. Seriously any help would be amazing.
