So I know that this has been touched on before but I just wanted to clarify - if we have multiple strong letters of recommendation should we upload them to our file? My understanding is that they aren't factored into your candidate score, so where is the benefit? Would uploading two seem like...

Just to clarify, how do you submit the form on letter head? Just by shrinking the document? Thank you for the advice.

I am a current applicant for 2021 and I applied for the class of 2020 last year as well. Since I applied last, I've had two internships - one was for a Senator and was 15 hours a week over the summer and I currently have a 20 hour a week internship with the Mayor of Columbia, SC. Should I submit...

Thanks for the input! I just emailed the ROO.

I received a 3 year AROTC scholarship to my #1 #2 choices but I wasn't accepted to #1. Is it possible to appeal the admissions decision? Has anybody done this? For reference it is a small, competitive, Liberal Arts College.

Yes I understand that - I apologize for not being clear in my post. If I attend school abroad I will be unable to participate in ROTC so I will have to do OCS instead. I find that disappointing because I wouldn't be able to start my military career path until after graduation whereas I could...

Yes, but I would not be involved with OCS starting my freshman year like I would be with ROTC. My understanding is that ROTC is also better for branch selection.

I'll make sure to talk to them. This program will be life changing but I don't want to postpone my military involvement by 4 years until OCS.

I was just accepted to a program where I would attend school in Hong Kong for 2 of my 4 college years (Sophomore and Senior year). Is it possible to still participate in AROTC? Are their international battalions? Thank you in advance for any insight.

Still CPR. I don't have a nomination though.

can you receive a USMAPS offer after receiving a letter stating that you will not be appointed this year? The rejection letter did not say if I was 3Q or not.

I emailed my counselor to ask if she would like for me to send it in and she said sure. If you think it would help your file, email your counselor.

I did not receive a nom to USNA but I am still shooting for NAPS/Foundation. My portal still says "complete Pending Review". No news is good news, right?

People who were offered the prep route/foundations or who have attended USMAPS/NAPS: did you receive a TWE first?

Thank you for your opinion. I feel bad backing out of track since I've already made the commitment but I feel that it is the right thing to do
