    I just received my appointment to the academy, but maybe it was all numbers.

    Any appointments without an LOA?

    I was just curious if any candidates for the Class of 2020 have received an appointment yet without first receiving a LOA sometime this fall? Thanks

    High school juniors/seniors going through the application process

    I am just a candidate and I may be way off base here, but from everything I have heard and everyone I have talked to it isn't just a numbers game. Yes, your scores and grades matter but it's about being a well rounded individual. No other school I have applied to takes into account intangibles...

    Nomination not appearing on CIS

    Same thing happened to me. I received my nominations about a week ago and they have yet to appear in any of my portals. Probably just not officially submitted yet is my guess.

    Will the Academy accept an unofficial race?

    Okay I understand. If I continue to run more (official) road races and continue to update these to my portal would these go towards athletics or extracurricular activities?

    Will the Academy accept an unofficial race?

    I recently ran my first marathon, however, it was not an official event. I did not have to register, there were no medals, I just went out on a Sunday morning and ran. I tracked the distance and time with a GPS watch. I was curious if the academy will accept an unofficial event like this as...

    3Q

    Does every candidate receive a letter notifying them if they are 3Q? At what point in the process do these go out? I have been done with my applications for over two months now. I have strong academics, passed my medical, and am in good physical shape, but the only letter I have received was...

    How much is the CFA weighted?

    I was just curious how much weight the academy gives the CFA? I know they say it is 10% but an officer at NASS told me it is used as a tool to determine which candidates really want to succeed (train, stay disciplined, perform through pain). Should I retake my CFA? Or is it too late to do so...

    CFA Scores

    I was really concerned about taking the CFA. I took it once at West Point's SLE and really didn't score well. I run track and cross country and play basketball, but just training a little bit over the summer boosted my scores considerably in every event. I highly recommend investing in a chin...

    Nominations Second Time Around

    I am currently a senior in high school. I was wondering, if I do not receive an appointment this cycle and apply again next year, would I apply for a nomination in the congressional district in which I attend a university? Thanks

    CFA passing?

    BBall: 84 Pullups: 15 Shuttle: 7.88 Pushups: 75 Situps: 95 Mile: 5:45 @strakerak I run cross country and we have kids who come out just to train with us. Running will definitely help get the mile time down especially if you talk to the coach about your goal.
