    Contacts on R-Day

    I have terrible vision, but technically, it is still correctable to 20-20, so I didn't need a waiver.

    Teacher SOE

    Just an email address should be fine. They'll receive an email and confidentially rate you as a student. If they choose to, I believe they can also attach a recommendation letter.

    Initial Deposit

    I sent in my initial deposit of $2000 by check through standard US mail a couple of weeks ago. I am sure everything was addressed and labelled correctly, and about a week ago, $2000 was removed from my checking account, which means that the check was received correctly, but my candidate...

    e-QIP assistance please

    What should I put if I am a naturalized citizen but I have no naturalization number or citizenship number because I was naturalized under my parents? What should I put for my residence if it asks me not to list anything before the age of 18, and I've only been 18 for a few weeks? Am I correct...

    Same highschool 2 yrs in a row?

    Yes, your high school doesn't matter in terms of the actual appointment. Just worry about your nominations if anything. My school has sent at least 1 student to USMA each year for the last 4 or 5 years. It's actually awesome for us because we know upper classmen who are already there. At my...

    How to: Overnight Visit?

    I scheduled my visit over two weeks ago, and it states on my log that the visit has been scheduled successfully, but I never received anything: not an email or even directions from the website after I picked my date. Was I supposed to have gotten something?

    How to: Overnight Visit?

    What should I bring with me on my person to the overnight visit? Will I need my own toiletries, another set of clothing, any emergency money, etc? What should I expect to encounter when I actually arrive? What type of gift would be appropriate for the cadet that I will shadow? Will I...

    Cell Phones at West Point

    I know cadets are allowed to use them on off-duty hours, but is it even worth it? With respect to the time that we will actually be able to use them and, from what I've heard, the lack of service in the area, is it worth it to keep a cell phone or should I save the $60/month and rely solely...

    Notification of appointment?

    I actually found out in kind of a funny way. My MALO sent me an email inviting me to a sort of picnic barbecue for next year's cadets held annually in my state. At the top of the email, there was a line that said, "If you are receiving this email, it is because you have been offered an...

    Mono

    Probably not, but you have to remember that mono is contagious for up to two months even after symptoms go away..

    MI Nominations

    Received another nomination: Congressman Thaddeus McCotter- District 11. I haven't received an appointment or an NWL notification, and I've had a nomination from Senator Levin and a completed application for over a month... Looks like 2 Congressional Nominees have already received...

    Question about the length of time for a nomination to be received...

    though my words may come off as harsh, nominations are given to those who deserve them. If one hopeful candidate did not receive a nomination because another received two, it is extremely unlikely that the candidate in question would have been competitive for ultimate acceptance. Also...

    Admissible status + 3Q + Nomination and improved ACT scores

    I'm just a candidate too so anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. (And hopefully, a more experienced forum member can confirm what I say) When I submitted my scores and transcripts, I received an email from my liaison advising me to send in a passport to confirm my citizenship to...

    January 10th

    Yes, I apologize if I made it appear as if the two had any relation. The committee meets today again for the first time since mid-december, and the portal was also updated; however, the portal change was an irrelevant observation.
