Does anyone know how to submit AP scores from previous years to USMA? I was trying to figure out the Collegeboard website, but it's pretty terrible. Worst comes to worst, I'll probably end up bringing a copy to R-Day, but if anyone knows how that would be great.

they dont ever ask about it on your portal, so no not really

Sports and standardized testing; you don't necessarily have to have taken the SAT/ACT, but definitely take the PSAT if your school offers it (and practice for it if you need to). I only had one season's worth of a sport (lacrosse) and a couple of clubs when I signed up, but I had a 215 PSAT...

i was a fan of the crispitos when i went on my overnight, and it seemed like everyone else was pretty excited too

I went for the Bellevilles; normally a 12, but I got them in an 11. I think they're pretty comfortable as is, though I'm going to go out and buy gel insoles for them.

what happens to the rest of it?

There's nothing wrong with failure as long as you show that when you get knocked down, you can get back up and fight twice as hard. On all my applications, I marked 2 years of lacrosse (since it's a spring sport, I'm just now in my final season), and every so often in an interview I would get...

I thought Skype wasn't allowed on USMA laptops? http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=17025&highlight=skype

I want to say that they'll still help you, but I can't even say that for sure; they don't appear on your portal anywhere.
