AROTC Applicants? Where do AROTC cadets who are applying (or in my case reapplying with ROTC scholarship) fit in on the demographics of those admitted? Roughly how many ROTC cadets get appointed? And lastly, would having a full 4-year AROTC scholarship hinder your chances of being appointed...

So how many (rough estimate) of the re-applicants actually make it into any given class on average? I'm sure there has to be some sort of quota - to my understanding about 1/3 of each incoming class are re-applicants. Any clarification to back this up?

Of course it helps! You've definitely given me (and I'm sure many others) great insight. Is it okay to wait until december to get the SOE's? If someone is shooting for an LOA, don't they need to finish their app a lot earlier?

So this is for anyone who has reapplied and gotten in: What classes did you take in college? (A big emphasis on math-related courses?) What extra-curriculars did you do to better your file? Anything else you'd like to share to help us Plan B people out! :P I understand this is going to...

Just curious, but because of the drastic cuts to the Class of 2016, roughly 100 less than what was previously assumed, does this mean West Point has met their goal of bringing the Corps back down to size of about 4,400 cadets? And does this mean that the Class of 2017 will be a somewhat...

Thanks for the feedback. Will being in the ROTC category and the reapplying category hurt my chances when reaplying? I mean, doesn't West Point have quotas stating that roughly this amount of the incoming class comes from ROTC and this amount comes from those who are repaying - or is it a...

Thanks for the responses. Honestly, I'm not as bummed out as I thought I would be... in fact I'm almost looking forward to doing ROTC for a year at a civilian college because come next year (if I do get in) I, along with many others who are reapplying, coming from ROTC or USMAPS, or coming in...

I received the dreaded QNS letter today and I'm now going full force on my Plan B. West Point was my dream school since sixth grade and I'm definitely not giving up now. I'll be reapplying for the Class of 2017. So for any of those who've been in a similar situation, which kinds of classes...

Thank you BigNick! Would you by chance know how the WCS is broken down? Can you also shed a little light on how soon one might here back from admissions for offers from the NWL. Thanks again.

Thanks Hoffy600 Sorry for bringing the beast back to life. haha Here's the link for convenience for anyone who's interested: http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/showthread.php?t=23960

I would really appreciate it if someone who really knows about the NWL to describe how individuals are selected from it - in general and specifically for the Class of 2016. It's kind of a gray area for me (no pun intended :biggrin:) I understand that it's based on a person's WCS given the fact...

BigNick - Thank you!

I know that if I receive a QNS letter then I won't get too down in the dumps. West Point has been my dream school since the 6th grade and I will most definitely be reapplying next year if I don't get accepted this go-around. I've got a great Plan B with hopefully an Army ROTC scholarship to the...

That sounds absolutely horrible! I can't imagine waiting to hear back for that long; especially on R-Day when you think that all hope is lost! That's great for the person who got in though! :smile:

Speak of the devil... I just got home from pole vault practice to find a nice letter from the Far West admissions team stating that I've been 3Q'd and put on the NWL. It basically said to make sure 7th sem. transcripts were in and to continue to update your file. One thing I found shocking...

Thank you! With my luck I'll probably still be waiting up until March 14th :eek: haha

Thanks for the response, but my MOC has already selected their primary (who has already accepted his offer) - does this change anything in my situation? It just feels super strange that WP hasn't sent me a thing for so long, especially after reading on here about how everyone has already...

So I guess I'm in the same boat... errr tank.... as many others waiting to hear back from admissions. I still have not heard a thing (absolutely nothin'!) regarding that I've been 3Q'd or placed on the NWL even though my app has been 100% complete since late December. My portal shows that I'm...

So my 27" custom iMac is out of the question? Would they make an exception if the desktop is used as a hobby? (I'm an apple developer). On another note, is there cell phone service on post? Specifically AT&T? I'm guessing one could use a tethered wireless network for things that aren't...

I got mine as well! One from Sen. Kyl and three from Rep. Giffords.
