You need to contact your RC or the tech for your region and ask them to forward your scores to the other academies. It is not automatic. In turn, someone there will have to input those scores.

Failing scores are not published for a reason. You should strive to get to at least the average. The later you wait to take the test, the less chance you will have to retest if you fail AND West Point wants you.

West Point will request Medicals when they are ready, usually in batches starting around this time of the year. Since the application for most folks just opened up, most aren't nearly so far along. It takes a few days for the status to change on your view as well as to actually update with...

You only upload the body fat worksheet and the proof of citizenship when requested. If you marked naturalized U.S. Citizen, you can do the passport picture page.

You should always have a bug out bag with important documents in a fire safe box - especially if you live overseas - passports, marriage licenses, birth certificates, social security cards, financial instruments, etc. can't fix the past, but never to late to plan for the future.

The difference for a majority of candidates is NOT the CFA. Each of the six events contribute to the 10%, with the majority of candidates falling into the normal range (hence the published averages of ACCEPTED candidates). The difference between an average score and an exceptional one (max or...

If you were born overseas and are American, you need the consular ( embassy) report of birth abroad. Legal paperwork is anything that you had concerning legal issues.

Open your application and then ask your Fielf Force Rep and/or Regional Commander (admissions officer) what you should do. Academically you look OK, but not sure on the leadership side. Plus every congressional district has a different level of competition. Those sources above should be able...

It's not just vision (2-13) but also your actual eyes (2-12) that the army cares about. Read the appropriate paragraphs and realize that you may be a DQ, you may be able to get a waiver, but you definitely won't get in if you don't try anyway. http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r40_501.pdf

When, if, your counselor puts on the Request for Academic Information that you attended X number of schools and your RC sees you are lacking in leadership and it could make a difference with you getting an offer and it gets approved by the reviewers, then they can make an adjustment to your WCS...

@JLur i don't know what the rest of your application looks like, but since most of your scores are close to average or above, you are probably best to spend that two months don't test prep.

If your RC deems your file not strong enough to move on to the main application, it will be closed for that year. You can speak to them and ask specifically what you need to do to improve - whether it is academics or leadership - and if it is possible to improve that enough, you could find your...

They just need to send the request to their RC/technician and they will forward it. That doesn't mean that it will be processed on the other end quickly though.

@alphapark the trouble you are going to have is demonstrating that you can do calculus. You failed sophomore year, didn't take it as a junior or plan to over this summer. That means you won't have a grade until the end of the semester in January when transcripts are finally sent, when...

Have your school send your 6 semester transcripts as soon as they are ready. Contact teachers that you will use for your SOEs and get good addresses and let them know they will arrive over the summer after 1 July.
