Hi All -
I have heard a lot about Boys/Girls State over the past few months, and several mentions of adding WCS Points to the application. DS and I have looked into it, and he has a very strong possibility (verbal guarantee) of getting in.
SS of course directly conflicts with Boys State for him, and while he is trying to move SS, that is not a given.
So. . .My question is this. . .From the searching I have done, it appears to me that WCS points are referring to West Point applications. Is this true, or is it all Service Academy applications?
DS will definitely go to Boys State over SS, as he has been to USNA a few times to visit DD and coaches, but just trying to ascertain if it is true that attendance does actually add points. Is this adding proverbial points, meaning it is a good thing to see on an application, or there a numerical formula being used to 'bucketize' candidates?
