Hi everyone, My name is Jackie and I'm a plebe now. I'm leaving this thread for any Qs you may have of me or the academy/application process. I was in your shoes not too long ago, so I know how valuable of a resource anyone affiliated with WP is to your success to getting in. Feel free to...

Hi everyone, Jackie here. I'm a plebe and have friends who tried out and made the team. Basically, all throughout beast you have company athletics. During that time you go to the rabble rousers tryouts: learn routines, get tested on how well you can memorize it and perform, plus if you can...

Same thing was done last year. They just need more time to review files. They are still processing my class of 2018's files but that will be done by Mid August, when we are officially accepted as plebes and no longer have a candidate portal. Jackie, USMA Class of 2018

Have you filled out the athletic questionnaire and talked to the coaches? If you want to go varsity, try. Those are solid times, quite amazing actually. Jackie, USMA Class of 2018

Hey Lizzy, Appointee for the incoming 2018 class here. Physical qualifications on the CFA for a girl are pretty weak, so honestly try to go for the guys maxes. The Basketball Throw: It's not that easy but with practice, you'll get it. Repetition of the movement on your knees and rotating your...

Thank you for this advice! I will be joining the Class of 2018, and this is very encouraging. I wish you the best of luck! Jackie, USMA USAFA USMMA Candidate for Class of 2018 Principally Nominated to USMA & USAFA Appointed to USMA and USAFA USMA Class of 2018

Scholar, Athlete, Leader. It's pretty easy to know what you fit into, just look at your transcript and resume against what WP looks for. I know I fell into the Leader category, because I had so many leadership activities. I was a good student, but I didn't get a 2400 SAT and was not...

Hey! From what I heard from cadets I met at my overnight visit, multiple things are taken into account like how well you did in HS in the AP class plus your score plus how well you do on the validation exam. Jackie, USMA USAFA USMMA Candidate for Class of 2018 Principally Nominated to USMA &...

Appointee as well without SLE, but try to switch around your SLE slots to other things if at all possible. I heard a few people who switched around the slots they had and then got SLE. Jackie, USMA USAFA USMMA Candidate for Class of 2018 Principally Nominated to USMA & USAFA Appointed to...

Hey Kelsi! I'm Jackie, and going to be a part of the Class of 2018. Strive to excel in the Scholar, Athlete, Leader categories as much as possible. As much as you are graded on a point scale, WP is extremely holistic as well and takes everything into consideration. My key points of advice to...

Your heart needs to be 200% in. This is service to your country, not a regular college acceptance. If you have doubt, give someone else the opportunity to do what they've wanted all their lives. I withdrew my Air Force appt and ROTC scholarship knowing I would be giving another person a shot at...

My FFR sent me the graduation ceremony script. Make sure they present your appointment at the end of the awards ceremony. Your appointment is apart from everyone else's awards, and should be recognized as such, also apart from any other commissioning or enlisting ceremonies. Jackie, USMA...

CAP. CAP. CAP. I did Civil Air Patrol---best decision I made. Helped tremendously with my application. Invaluable experience. PM me if you want to know more. I got appointed to two academies, CAP helps a lot. Jackie, USMA USAFA USMMA Candidate for Class of 2018 Principally Nominated to USMA...

I do know, since I was accepted and my file was reviewed, that your interview with your FFR is considered at the end of file review. I'm sure it adds extra points, but if no points it still acts as if it would. Jackie, USMA USAFA USMMA Candidate for Class of 2018 Principally Nominated to...

Hi, I'm actually in need of some guidance as well. What is 'payroll deductions'? I'm with jayceguy, anything to help defray the costs of anything for my parents is best.
