Have most of these offers been given out already or do they generally come only after you've been denied admission? I have an interest in reapplying, despite the fact that I have been accepted to some top tier liberal arts colleges. However, one more year of college is not going to change the...

Yep...I wish I could give you more encouragement but the sad fact is that USMA takes a very minuscule number of non-varsity letter winners. I'm assuming a lot of these could be former enlisted Army, etc. When you come out of high school without one of those letters I feel as if you're pretty...

CT-03 GPA was a 3.54 unweighted (With a ton of APs) for the first three years. 1st semester senior year I managed a 4.0 unweighted. My school does not rank but my guidance counselor told me that I was at the "top of my class." He is pretty shocked I didn't get in.

Just got my TWE yesterday. My heart kinda sunk when I saw it in the mail. Rejection. It's unfortunate, it was my top choice. But that's life I guess. I thought I stood a decent shot. I had two nominations (Senate + Congressional in a highly competative state), solid CFA, lots of leadership...

I just got notified that I am fully qualified and on the NWL. I never got a 3Q'd letter.

Still no LOA for me and I got a 2120. But to my understanding it's a combination of many things other than the SAT.

Hello, I am in a bit of a dilemma. I am a rising senior who is applying for the class of 2015. I will be taking 3 AP classes next year (AP Constitutional Gov., AP English, and AP Biology) and I have also been offered to take AP Calculus. I talked to my Liason who said I should take the AP...

Are the last of the LOAs sent out? I just recently completed my file (except for the CFA). My SATs are pretty decent (2120).

Hello, I am a bit hung up on the DoDMERB question where it asks you "Have you ever or do you use alcohol?" Here is my situation: About a year ago I was on a school trip to Europe. We lived with a european family for about a month. At dinner we were occasionaly served alcohol in the form of...
