Just keep working. That's about all.

I know that I didn't have the best Junior year, and it was certainly a departure from any other year of high-school I had. However, I suppose I had a well rounded enough background and filled my schedule with AP classes, and I was accepted this year for the Class of 2019.

I hate to ask a question that may have already been presented somewhere, but is there a page on social media somewhere for the accepted Class of 2019? I would greatly appreciate being able to learn about my peers whom will be at the Academy. Thanks in advance!

Keep at it and keep the same energy for the next time around, good luck with your reapp! Thanks again!

I believe it was Baldwin, as Johnson sent a letter saying, "Congrats, but you basically got one from Baldwin sooo best to ya."

Thanks man, right back at ya! I'm from Sun Prairie, where are you in Wisco?

Not at all, in terms of having people from the same school, that is. I have two friends in my school who applied to the academies. One just got accepted to USAFA and the other to USMA. I'm an LOA trying to get into USMA, and the only thing hurting your odds is that another spot was filled and...

I am waiting for my medical waiver to come through. I'm an LOA, and everything else is green-lit, so I'm waiting for that to come before April 15th (the LOA deadline for being medically qualified).

Here's a story about SLE from last summer: (P.S. This is kinda long, TLDR at bottom) Day One -Here I am, getting off the plane at Newark, looking for the shuttle bus that runs from the airport to WP -Can't find it and I feel like a scrub -Find some other dude who is in the same boat as I am...

Thanks, that about takes care of my question. Definitely want to be cleared ASAP. Patience is key.

When I applied for SLE, I only entered my PSAT scores. That was acceptable for them, and I was offered a slot at SLE summer of 2014. You might want to email West Point if you're concerned that the SAT scores aren't in, but as I found out, you'd be considered equally for a SLE slot with just PSAT.

Hello all, I received a LOA on 10 October, 2014, and know that the first round of offers are being sent out (~500 total). All of my required work is in, but West Point had to offer me a medical waiver for some of my conditions and is still processing the waiver (they still need to make a yes/no...

My friend who applied for the Presidential Nomination and went to all MOC interviews received a nomination from both sources. I hope you receive your nominations soon from MOCs, although many, if not all nominations in my region were already sent out. Typically they'll send you a letter about...
