I'm confused...why are you so worried about what they'll investigate and what they don't investigate? You may be telling the truth. I know a couple of friends that had the jump you did. But for you to ask, "Please explain to me how one can 'fabricate' scores and send it off to USMA with the...

Well, I can't give you a definitive answer; my status was like that for 5-6 weeks. Here's my timeline for comparison: Date Event Code(s) 10-OCT-12 Date applicant entered into DoDMERB system 22-OCT-12 Application Added 26-OCT-12 Actual date of exam 26-NOV-12 Date exam received...

Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if I rain on any parades. I recently saw a post by the West Point Admissions page: "For Candidates currently applying for the Class of 2017 - NEW Candidate Forms Upload Feature! A new feature has been added to the Candidate Portal! This new feature...

My dad gets thoroughly offended if I ever bring up financial issues with him, but thank you BDHuff09. kinnem, I believe the best way to describe him is anti-military. He has consistently said, despite my efforts, that the military will brainwash me and make me a puppet which they'd willingly...

From what I understand, the admissions officer rates applicants on a "Candidate Potential" scale. You get either a ye or a ne (I'm grossly oversimplifying that scale, btw). I believe MALOs are asked to interview their candidates with "high potential" (? I can't really remember the verbiage)...

Hi bri11, I don't mean to offend, but I believe it's a bit soon to be asking if you're qualified as a Freshman. (I'm going to sound like a hypocrite here), but no one can really give you a 100% answer if you're qualified for admissions, so asking for your qualifications isn't the best way to...

Hello all, Thank you for your help in the past; it's helped tremendously. I received the 4 year NROTC scholarship to the UC Berkeley unit, and I have been frequently contacted by West Point and Annapolis cadets/midshipmen telling me why USMA/USNA is better. My scheduled visit is from...

Pima, As armydaughter said, my school takes classes that are not considered "honors" and only gives them a weight of 4.0, even for weighted. So since I wasn't allowed to take a full honors schedule each year, the non-honors classes brought my weighted GPA down, even though I received A's in...

Thank you for your advice, and I thank everyone that helped with my essays! I called my recruiter today to check if he could help me find any spots on the application I may have missed (I completely misunderstood the 'remarks' boxes, and he helped me take extreme advantage of those). He also...

Only MC Option requires one, according to the website and my recruiter. So I don't need one for Navy Option, unfortunately.

I agree with you on liaison. I mainly took it because I was disappointed in the lack of communication between the Student Body and PTSA since last year's liaison always skipped out on meetings, but that's a subject for essays and interviews. (I actually got second place in the polls for Class...

I'd suggest to call them as Jcleppe said. It's a lot more efficient, and emails don't always get answered. I remembered I sent an email to the NROTC station in San Diego about six months ago, regarding the site saying I was too young to log on. Never received a response. Remember, they have...

Good morning everyone, I'm trying to get an estimate on how competitive I am for an NROTC Scholarship. I tried to keep all of this as concise as possible, so any possible feedback would be greatly appreciated. Major: Electrical Engineering California Resident/Hispanic Academics...

Yes, I've actually already picked out my 5. 1. UC Berkeley 2. UCLA 3. USC 4. U of Illinois 5. Carnegie Mellon I'm trying to go for my BSEE, so that's mainly where those came from. Even though I know it'll be difficult to get in, I'm reluctant to move Berkeley from #1. It's was my dream...

Dear Pima and kinnem, You both have very valid points, and thank you for paying attention to where I'm slipping up. I'll definitely find a way to put it into my second essay. My coach says I'm doing very well for a first-timer, so I'll work with what I've got. Thank you for your thoughtful...

Pima, This is probably not the answer you want to hear, but no, my athletics have pretty much stayed in JROTC. Ever since I've been in charge, I've put a bigger stress on physical fitness since my program's been lacking in it. That's mainly how I've been keeping in shape while helping the...

Thank you so much! I definitely will. Now I just need to revise and give my recruiter a call. Thanks to everyone for their help!

Question 2 I also finished the recommended question, if you could take the time to review this one as well, it would be greatly appreciated. 2. How might your background and experiences enhance the U.S. Naval Service? (Recommended, Limit 2500 characters) Although my life experiences...

Revised Thank you sir, your message was very helpful. After examining my essay again, I saw the corrections everyone advised. For example, for the "From that moment, I knew I add to that percentage" I meant to add a "would" before the "add to that percentage," which makes a very big...
