Out of curiosity does anyone know if it is possible to go straight from West Point into veterinary school and then become an Army Veterinarian? I know this option exists for medical school but I was not sure if this was the same, if anyone has any info about this please let me know. Thanks!

When submitting an administrative remedial to dodmerb, will it show up on their website under the status? I sent in am my paperwork about two months ago for my remedial and my status has not changed saying that they have received the paperwork, I did not know if this was normal and West Point...

Good luck in your medical process! Just to let you know, I had my ACL reconstruction a little less than two years ago. I have full range of motion and absolutely no restrictions, which the DODMERB doctor observed. Unfortunately today though, I received a disqualification for my ACL. The...

I have had 3 ACL surgeries over the past 4 years and I can personally say that the pain has completely gone away for me. Running is not a problem and pretty much each time after surgery the pain went away around 3 months afterwards just for running. Now sprinting and cutting (like for your...

I know that one of my roommates at SLE did not get his email sent to him but he definitely passed so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

I took my CFA at SLE and completed it with a "no risk" in each category. Assuming this means I passed, my icon on the portal turned to green next to the CFA. Up until today, this icon was green, however for some reason it is now red. I am pretty confident I passed so I am not sure why it is...

Any past attendees or people with extra information about SLE/SLS at West Point have any advice for all of us attending this week?

BDHuff09, First off I'll see you at West Point in a week! I have kind of been feeling the same way with the waiver process. I feel that I am an overall competitive candidate but to give everyone here an idea, I have had 3 reconstructive ACL surgeries in the past 4 years and a surgery to...

Is there any part of the waiver process that depends on the competitiveness of a candidate as far as receiving a waiver? For example, if there is an outstanding candidate, does this give the person a better chance of receiving a waiver than a lesser candidate, or are the doctors blind to this...

At SLE, what are the interviews like? I am sure they are relatively informal, but who conducts them and are they considered as a part of your file? I know that technically attending SLE doesn't help you, but I am sure the interview factors at least a little. Also, how informative are the...

I am currently in the process of applying for West Point class of 2018 and I have a question regarding leadership. I know there are obviously the traditional positions (NHS president, team captain, etc.) but how does an applicant prove their leadership to West Point in other positions? For...

I am a high schooler interested in West Point and I have unfortunately torn my ACL in my right knee 3 times. However I have been told that if it is strong enough by the time I am a senior, it will not be an automatic disqualifier. Just seeing if there is anybody out there who can give me...

On Saturday, August 6, 30 American service members lost their lives in a Chinook helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Among those killed were 22 Navy Seals. These brave men rode into battle in order to assist some Army Rangers under heavy Taliban fire. May condolences go out the the family...

West Point Books I couldn't agree more about the books mentioned above. They will all give you loads of information, and for me, they really ignited more passion inside of me for West Point! I have read Absolutely American, In a Time of War, and am currently reading The Long Gray Line...
