    Still in the game

    TWE arrived in Oregon. Game over for me. Not selected to both USMA and USNA. Time to look into ROTC option. My heart is crushed. I thought God wanted me to go to an academy? I've gone through so much and came SO close.... only to be rejected. :confused:

    Worried..

    lol, calm down, you're only a freshman, you haven't even STARTED yet (figuratively and literally). I've got into some of the most respectable private schools in the country, with 2 Cs (IB though). Colleges look at you as a person, not just one thing. So calm yo self down. ;) p.s. you still...

    Still in the game

    Nothing again. My dad brought brought a mail from Navy stuff and I got all excited, but then it was America's Navy/Navy reserve advertisement mail. UGH you have no idea how mad I was.

    AP US History

    I took APUSH as a soph. It is very uncommon for younger high schoolers to take APUSH, in my opinion, since APUSH is usually offered around junior year in high school. If you enjoy history and good at figuring out what's going on in the readings (history textbooks) right off the bat, you should...

    Patience

    My friend got a call from the congressional office that he was accepted to USAFA today. He is from OR-03 (Oregon coast) So I assume ya'll should be getting good news by end of this week or next week. (Im not an USAFA applicant). :smile:

    Current junior wanting to know where I stand

    you could prob/will need more leadership positions other than just a team captain of a single sport team. More the better!

    Oregon

    Hi. I am from OR-01. NOOOOPE. Nothing at all. Zero words. Though a few couple have already got appointed for USMA or something. But thats for people with outstanding records and that was well before January or something like that. Good to see fellow Oregonians though.

    USMA vs USNA

    You are absolutely right, and I guess I came off a little rude. I am sorry I didn't use the correct language to argue my side of the perspective. But I think I did learn a lot from other's perspective. It was a very interesting discussion. Thanks for giving me different perspectives that I...

    USMA vs USNA

    I apologize if you've misunderstood my post, but let's try to not get defensive here, I think any academy school is a great school. My post meant no disrespect to anyone by any means. I am a junior military historian, and I study military history for fun on my own time. I have plenty of...

    USMA vs USNA

    like I said on previous posts, it's possibly due to the fact the WP graduates will be the first to be called to be sent to a combat/war zone. I mean, what are the ACTUAL chances of naval officers receiving direct fire from the enemy? We are no longer in WWII or Cold War. This is the 21st...

    Still in the game

    Ive emailed admissions counselor last night. Got back a reply this morning, he said if you haven't heard and the file was 100% complete, then it should be a good thing cuz you're still in the game. He said USNA have already sent out (some) rejection letters, so it's should be a good thing if you...

    Boy's State

    It depends on state. I was in Oregon Boys State and literally, the legion over there keep ASKING all of us to recruit more people for future Boys State! They always need more folks to enjoy this once in a life time event! When I was researching West Point and stuff, I found out Boys State was...

    3Q Notification

    Yep, the notification showed up on my portal literally one day after my CFA re-take was ON FILE. (CFA was the last thing I had to upload to my file). At the time, I was still medically pending, but that has nothing to do with 3Q notification thing, as they will only tell you if you have...

    Is Anyone Still Waiting?

    Facebook West Point Admissions page as of 5 hours ago: "As of today, we have 609 candidates who have accepted appointments to join the Class of 2018. There are 317 who are currently still in the "offered" status. Candidates may want to contact their regional commander for a status update."

    Grades/GPA

    to my understanding, they care more about your class rank, plus "rigorous" courses you've taken and what grades you got.
