    Beast Packing List 2013

    I would HIGHLY reccomend bringing the 6" fan, it was the only way I could get myself to sleep when it was hot at night in the barracks. Advil or ibuprofen is fine to keep around, when you get shin splints from running youll wish you had some. Definitely bring an address book as well, or write an...

    ACT Scores

    Report it...Im guessing your math and reading were 30 or above which is what set me over the top for my appointment.

    2016 USNA Mailbox Stalkers Club...

    For my application to USMA, I had to have all of my stats corroborated by my principal, coach, counselor and leaders of outside activities in order for my "CAR" (candidate activities record) to be checked off. They do this in order to prevent "cheating" or "lying" on an application. So I find it...

    When does the first board meet?

    @Fengawr, your taking things way to fast man, especially if you haven't even taken/received your SAT and ACT scores yet. Its great that your excited about the process and the scholarship, but don't focus on the application until the summer. You can best spend your time just simply getting things...

    got my NWL

    All I have seen is Majors and Captains that are in charge of the recruiting regions for West Point. There aren't any Colonels, let alone a Colonel Jackson, that I have seen listed as an RC?

    Notification of appointment?

    My liaison called me and let me know before I received anything. I don't know if that is typical of liaisons to do, I just weekly touched base with mine so we had a good relationship. The next thing I received was my BFE about 4-5 days later, my portal still hasn't updated though so im sure that...

    Mono

    Haha, dude, mono is not a big deal at all. Plus, its February! Everyone is getting sick around where I live around this time of year, just be sure to keep your hands clean around anything you touch. I don't see why getting anything like mono would have an effect on your appointment

    Things That Will Help Me?

    It's also considered a "warrior sport" by West Point which is more of a plus than a team sport on your WCS anyways.

    7th Semester Transcripts

    Yes, mine have. My counselor sent them electronically though so that may have something to do with how fast it showed up

    Admissible status + 3Q + Nomination and improved ACT scores

    Forum, I know its impossible to give out "chances" for anything, but what is the difference between being "admissible" (as my liaison said I was moved to) as opposed to "competitive" with a nomination. I am 3q'd and hoping to receive the primary slate nomination from my congressman, Ralph...

    Bodybuilding as a club at West Point?

    Haha, im sure my mindset will be elsewhere with all the daily tasks at West Point, but id at least like to be involved with something like the Sandhurst or Powerlifting team because I love working out. I know that during SLS the TRX had supplements in it and there is a GNC as well, which sell...

    Bodybuilding as a club at West Point?

    What does the Sandhurst team entail? Do they compete with other academies/schools? Does your plebe know any about the powerlifting team or things like how well your able to continually use supplements like protein, creatine, BCAA's, etc?
