    Help with NYC

    I agree with kdbax! We had never been to NYC prior to parents weekend two years ago. We stayed in a hotel on LI right off of the LIRR. Took the train into the city, then walked & used the subway. We took the double-decker bus tour. We paid for the 48 hour package which also included a night...

    Nom + Loa

    Re: Wisdom Teeth I'm going to add in my (mom of a 2015 DS) two-cents worth on the "wisdom teeth" issue. Prior to Indoc, DS dentist did a full work-up. Told us there was no medical reason to remove ANY of his teeth. Dentist signed DSs paperwork stating that he could not medically justify...

    invoice for 2012-13 tuition???

    Only the students can "open" the invoice, because it can only be done on the USMMA server. Email your DS and ask him to open the link, download it and then email you the actual invoice. Hope this helps!

    GPA vs. QPA

    I didn't realize they had the catalog back on-line. The last couple of times I've looked it wasn't available. I knew what the numbers were...just didn't know if they use the traditional "GPA" or their own "QPA" and it is in fact their own "QPA".

    GPA vs. QPA

    Question for all of you "seasoned" KP'ers...I just had my first opportunity to view a USMMA Grade Report. Instead of listing the student's GPA, they have a QPA (they don't even have "GPA" listed anywhere on the report). After doing the math I've noticed that a traditional GPA and the QPA are two...

    CO Leak

    DS told me (on Sunday) that they did hard-wire CO monitors into the lower levels of all of the barracks as was mentioned in the Alumni letter (I think). In addition he said that all individual rooms were given plug-in monitors last Friday - that all of the M/N were required to have plugged into...

    emergency number to contact parents

    I signed up for it immediately after Indoc in July, received a confirmation email and saved the link to the site: https://www.e2campus.net/my/usmma2/index.htm However...I never received any alert or information with regards to the hurricane in August or the current incident, and now when...

    LOA Timeline

    I wouldn't stress about the "hold" status. This is where the waiting game comes into play! Could mean several different things. The first one that comes to mind is that they've sent out offers of appointments for the number of available slots for your state. Don't panic though...now they wait to...

    LOA Timeline

    GA_APPLICANT, my suggestion would be to update your entire e.c. sheet / resume. (Have you included any/all part-time and/or volunteer jobs and hobbies as well?) I would send it in with your first semester grades, current class rank and a copy of your most recent ACT scores. Top it off with a...

    LOA Timeline

    It's my understanding that LOA's are given out very early to the strongest candidates. I haven't heard of many LOA's being given out past early December - but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. IMHO if you're now a "qualified" candidate and you have a nomination, focus on keeping your academic...

    Another Nomination Question

    Bill1899, CT will have 5 new slots to fill each year. (For example, here in WI we have 4 slots for each year and currently have 18 mids at KP.) Each state has a certain number of slots for each incoming class. However there are several states that either have no applicants in any given year or...

    Orlando Gotay Resigns

    Also already extensively covered in another thread AND portions of it removed by the moderator. Gotay didn't recently resign, that happened in September. Currently we are all working together with the Alumni Assoc. and the Parent's Assoc. promoting a positive campaign to find the next Super...

    "F" in 1 class

    With regards to the "one failed class", DS says that the explanation given on pages 63 and 64 in the current 2011-2012 USMMA catalog (Academic Status, etc.) is the rule they are using. The short version is apparently "A MIDN with only one F will attend summer school to take care of it. They...
