I'm probably going to at least touch them up before R-day since they're getting pretty dirty from breaking them in. (Mainly prom)

To everyone that is worried about their scores: Take it as maaaany times as possible. I went from a 24 to a 30 composite, a huge difference. Also I received my appointment this year if that helps anything.

thank you very much, see you in a few months!

I never read anything about not sending it certified mail, can you go over that? I'm about to send mine in

Thanks everyone for the info! It really cleared things up

I have looked through the catalog but couldn't necessarily find any concrete information on this (or probably looked it over). Do cadets not majoring in a foreign language still take many foreign language classes? I will most likely major in an engineering field if that changes things. I've...

Hi, I just was appointed to the 2014 class and had a question I haven't seen yet on this board. Due to financial reasons, my parents can't come see me very often, but they did want to make one trip up to West Point during the first semester. I know most parents come to R-day, but to me I...

I would definitley take 2 of each. I went from a 24 to a 30 on the ACT, and a 660M 600CR to a 700M 600CR. I know that it really helped me get in, I strongly advise taking them at least twice.

How did I ever diss them? I said that I was academically qualified, and on the USMAPS website it said that it is for candidates that are not qualified, which is why I was asking about it. I would be honored to be taught there, there was no way I was talking bad about them at all.

No, I meants USMAPS, but I believe you're right, you do need one

I believe some people thought I was asking about still getting into the actual academy without a nomination, but I was only talking about the prep school. But thanks for clearing that up. I hate this because it seems to me that getting my nomination will be harder than getting into WP, my...

There is also a letter saying you are physically and scholastically qualified, but not yet medically. I received that and then I just found out I am medically qualified. I received that in December I believe, I guess it depends when you send in your scores/grades

Hi, I'm a candidate for the 2014 class and have quite a few questions I can't find the answer to anywhere else. 1) Can you wear contacts during Beast? I always see pictures of people in glasses, but it would be nice to be able to wear contacts. Do they issue you these glasses, or do you...
