    Picnics at West Point

    I recognize this isn't the most pressing question on the forum right now, but does anyone know of a good picnicking spot at West Point? I'll be heading up for the concert on the 20th and was wondering if anyone knows of a scenic spot where a picnic would be permitted (or, if not on the actual...

    Foreign Language Minor at the Academy?

    I'll be joining the class of 2016 on R-Day. I know this is somewhat far off, but does anyone know how accessible it is for a mechanical engineering major to pick up a minor in a foreign language? How many courses would you expect I would need to have validated in order to make it work, if...

    I swear this is a serious question (about Cader Honor Code)

    A joke that frequently circulates online says something along these lines: http://www.demotivation.us/media/demotivators/demotivation.us_The-biggest-lie-I-have-read-and-agree-to-the-terms-of-use_132346989833.jpg My question: would checking the box saying that you have read the Terms of Use...

    Kind of a disappointment, but I hope I still have a chance

    Hello, I'm an applicant to the Naval Academy this year. I just learned that I didn't receive my representative's nomination to USNA. I haven't heard back yet from my state's senators (NJ), but I don't feel that my interviews went outstandingly with them, and I recognize that many more people...

    PLEASE RESPOND AS LOAs COME IN

    I just received a call and an email from my Military Academy Admissions Representative that I got an LoA, and that it's on its way in the mail!

    Could this impact my chances at an LOA?

    "They" refers to the people in the West Point admissions department. There is a separate line where it states that they received my six semesters of high school transcripts, so the guidance counselor information must be something different.

    Another LOA Question -- Nominations

    Hi everyone, I heard rumors at SLS about how the Academy will try to "find" a nomination (from an unused district in Wyoming or other low-population state, for example) for candidates who receive an LOA but cannot get a nomination from any of the usual sources. Does anyone know of this...

    Could this impact my chances at an LOA?

    My file is totally complete, except for the "Academic Information" to be filled out by my guidance counselor (they have my transcripts). Does anyone know exactly what this academic information is, and does its absence preclude a candidate from receiving an LOA? What if I got it filled out...

    Any ideas as to approximate length...?

    Hi everyone, I'm filling out the standard congressional nomination packet http://menendez.senate.gov/services/academy/academy_application.pdf?x=82&y=20 ...and there's no indication as to about how long each of the responses should be. They're really open ended, so I could write anywhere...
