    Clubs and Competitive Sports

    Hello! After looking through West Point's full list of clubs and sports available (http://www.usma.edu/dca/SitePages/Clubs.aspx) I found a lot that I'm interested in. I'm sure I won't have enough time to do all of these at once, but I'd like to do all of them at some point during my stay at West...

    How should one prepare for a MOC interview, what are something's they ask for?!

    I was recently able to talk to one of the members of the interview board for the nomination I received. He told me that the biggest reason they chose me was because of my presence - posture, confidence, formal interview attire, etc. The biggest advice I can give isn't about how to answer a...

    Computer Preference Just Went Up! and question regarding Computers!

    I'm sorry to steal this thread, but I think it makes more sense to ask here rather than start another thread for my question, since it's related. Included in the required computer package is an "external USB hard drive." Does anyone know how large it is? I was actually just about to buy my...

    Prep for Beast

    Hi, sorry to jump in, but what's DPE? The only thing I found is Department of Physical Education, and I'm not sure why that grade would tend to be low, unless it's just because everyone is exhausted and not performing their best during BEAST. Thanks!

    Can you pay the deposit in full?

    The only reason I asked is because my family has an education fund set aside for me, and apparently if we withdraw the money for any purpose other than education we have to pay a lot of extra taxes on it. So it just made more sense to us to use it to pay the full deposit so we don't lose that...

    Can you pay the deposit in full?

    Hello everyone, I just received all my information on the portal about everything I have to do before R-day. I was wondering if you're allowed to pay the full $11,800 up front so it's not taken out of your pay over the years, instead of just the $2,000 that's required. Thanks!

    Important New Information

    First of all, thank you for the updated information! I have a question about this statement you made, BigNick: Does this mean that those who aren't accepted will all receive QNS's by then? I know in past years there have been a few additional candidates accepted through June, and you always...

    Next Wave

    That was posted by BigNick (who is a very reliable source) at the end of a loooong discussion over on the "USMA Class of 2013 Discussion Thread," so if you want the longer version, skim/read pages 35-41. :biggrin: Good luck to you!

    USMA Class of 2017 Acceptance Thread

    Yeah, I'm with you guys. I live in California (District 04), have a congressional and senatorial nomination, and haven't had any change on my portal yet. But everyone stay optimistic - there's still plenty of spots left! Maybe one of them is just waiting for you. :redface: Also, PJay, has your...
