    What's your take on this article and the premise that midshipmen aren't the Best and Brightest

    I think this goes to show that there are certainly some standards being upheld, and in part refutes the broader assertions that might lead one to believe that the current state of the academies is akin to a remake of "Animal House" (hey, if Fleming can reference Disneyland, then I feel at...

    I'm a Cow at USMA, AMA (Ask Me Anything)

    TPIAD, Many thanks for your sincerity, candor, and the myriad of thoughtful responses you have provided us over the past two weeks. DS will undoubtedly benefit from your posts as he embarks on his own journey eight weeks from today. All the best to YOU!

    Any NROTC result out?

    A month ago, DS got a denial letter from NROTC (he had completed his application) in September. His portal reflected that as well. Two weeks ago, he got a message to disregard that letter -- and his portal changed back to "no decision". Today, he was offered a four year NROTC scholarship to...

    Update application AROTC

    KeyzCat, The message you posted above does not address Fergusnr's specific question about submitting updates for the next board. The following message from CC seems to answer it pretty definitively: The 2nd (second) scholarship selection board is scheduled for 25 - 29 January 2016. The last...

    Ohio Appointments

    Just curious: Since Senator Brown nominated a total of 20 candidates to USNA this year, are those submitted in two separate slates of ten for each of the open slots rather than a single slate?

    Help With School Selection

    The percentage of OOS students comprising an incoming class at the University of Texas at Austin is actually just a bit higher -- 7% last year-- but it is not necessarily capped that low due entirely to state law. While they are mandated to accept all in-state applicants who are in the top 7%...

    E-mail?

    DS got neither an email nor a call -- just the portal update. He requested the appointment package nearly three weeks ago but it has not arrived.

    USCGA 2020 appointments

    As far as we are aware, DS received no phone call (or email message). His portal was simply updated to state that a decision was available, and the link took him to a letter dated November 12 that offered him a full appointment.

    Missed PE SOE Email

    Dear Candidate, We are writing to explain who must serve as the school official for the newly added Physical Education (PE) School Official Evaluation (SOE) you have likely noticed in you candidate portal. The SOE form on the portal states this form must be completed by your current PE teacher...

    PE Teacher Eval

    DS now has the same request in his portal (thanks for the heads-up, mom). In his case, he had previously entered the contact information for his PE teacher (his school's strength and conditioning coach) because he had administered the CFA for him and uploaded the results. It certainly sounds...

    First Board Results

    Seems so. DS heard from his 3rd choice school confirming a 4-year AROTC Scholarship over a week ago, but no word from any others.
