I know that there is a forum section specifically for Nomination questions, but it doesn't get as much attention as the USMA section, so I thought I'd re-post my question on here. I'm applying for a Presidential Nomination to West Point and will be sending in my application this week. Are the...

I'm applying for a Presidential Nomination to West Point and will be sending in my application this week. Are the nominations awarded on a rolling basis or all at once? And I assume they are awarded based on competitive selection? Thanks

If I'm not accepted to USMA the first time I apply (for the Class of 2017), then I plan on attending a different college and then reapplying.

I checked my Candidate Portal and WP has received all of the necessary forms for SLS. A new box appeared at the bottom that allows me to pay for the session. However, is there any more information that I will get, either by mail or online, before I pay? Will I be notified which session/class I...

I applied for SLS January 10th, was "SLS Offered" on January 20th according to the Candidate Portal. I have yet to receive anything in the mail though about SLS. I went ahead and filled out all of the forms that I just printed off and sent them out today. I'm assuming there is nothing wrong with...

I want more than anything to be able to get into West Point. I don't think my academics or extracurriculars are a problem, but I am lacking in sports due to a shoulder injury. 3.92 GPA All Honors/AP Classes 34 (rounded up from a 33.75) ACT Score 34 Science 36 Reading 33 English 32...
