Please recall that no one can 'transfer' to West Point; you have to start over as a plebe and not all academic credits may transfer either. Technically all the Senior Military Colleges are big ROTC programs. But I know you're referring to going to a civilian school and doing ROTC, which is a...

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup. congrats to him!

:eek: 18 students?! Wow, that's nuts... I know it'll be difficult, but if you're serious about the academy, you're going to have to try to be number 1 or 2 in a class of only 18. This also means you're going to have very strong SAT/ACT scores. Study up!

I believe it's pretty much impossible at this point unless there's some exception for recruited athletes. I remember the wave of LOAs going out last year between September and November. Not too many, if I recall correctly. You see, the Corps (the Corps, the Corps...) is shrinking back to its...

Okay, so I've read the recommended items for Beast list, but how many of those items would current cadets actually recommend? I've heard that not all really necessary and will just add extra weight on R-Day. Also, for shining shoes, should we bring a buffing brush? (it's not on the list and...

Someone (RC, FF, coach, etc.) probably suggested that raising his or her score 50 points would help. It's probably not a definite 50, but more of a guideline. That's my guess, if I'm wrong feel free to correct me.

Send ALL the scores! (cue meme...)

Check the 3rd admissible mailing on the portal.

If you mean like this (but on your knees): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdOBym462x0 then yes.

how often and at what hours do you usually get to go to the c-store?

That's odd, I have a friend at west point (c/o '14) who validated plebe chemistry and every other thread on here regarding validation says that validating chemistry, while difficult, is possible. Are you sure you can't?

Hey everyone! I'm looking into validating everything I possibly can before plebe year because my major will really fill up my schedule and I want to validate plebe chemistry if possible. I got a 5 on the AP last year and I know that I have to take a test in order to get the validation credits...

I really don't know... and so far the treasurer's office has not gotten back to my email asking if they've received it. The instructions for the Payee section should be in your "Instructions for Candidates Offered Admission". The only thing my bank was kind of confused about was in their...
