Fit
No one is a perfect fit. Even myself as the director have noted thirteen areas in the above where I am not a good fit for Camp Augusta. However, it is important to note which areas hold challenges or differences, and how they sit with you. This is a critical part of the round two application process, which is not done until included — be complete, and in full integrity, when you reply in writing. A brief answer is the same as no answer.
