    Texas A&M Culture

    Having been apart of the 12th Man for a few years I can tell you one thing, it is second to none. The 12th Man is synonymous with the student body and the culture here is awesome. In regards to the Corps, it all depends on what outfit you choose. I have friends who are the most physically...

    It may be, but that was not why the change was made. You are entitled to your opinion. Best of luck to you as you pursue an appointment and Happy New Year.

    USMA Nominations

    If you are referring to me...it's not a less competitive district. It makes no sense to have a HOUSE and vote for one district, but have to drive back to my parent's town just for MOC interviews. I am an independent and why would I apply for a MOCs nomination from a town in which I'm never at? I...

    2018 Competition v. Past Classes

    I wanted to start a discussion to see if anyone, MALO/FFRs included, had any input on the overall competition of the C/O 2018. I was browsing through the LOE list and noticed that the data of those who received a LOE. Is this uneducated guess of mine true? It was mentioned a few months ago that...

    Admission Next Steps and Timeline?

    A LOE is a letter from admissions given to candidates because they think very highly of your file AT THAT POINT IN TIME. Things can change with poor grade performance, CFA failure, etc. The file doesn't have to be complete to receive a LOE, no guarantee is made for LOE recipients, but they are...

    Admission Next Steps and Timeline?

    Medical LOAs have been issued (injured right before R-Day or other extraneous situations). LOAs are still around; however, their frequency is significantly lower than in the past. In regards to when LOA recipients getting appointments... I have no clue.

    Admission Next Steps and Timeline?

    Unless you are a recruited athlete or active duty/prior service probably not. Once they eliminated rolling admissions after the Class of 2016 everyone hears of their status around the same time.

    Admission Next Steps and Timeline?

    First round of appointments for congressional slate winners will be tendered around FEB 26 & MAR 1 time frame! That's what I was told by admissions the other day. As noted, you may not hear of your status until late MAY! Unfortunately patience is a virtue!

    Prinicpal Nomination or not?

    From that description it does not sound like it. The letter would have explicitly said "I am pleased to give you my PRINCIPAL nomination". You can call your MOC Office and ask what type of nominations they give out because you are confused and they should be able to help.

    USMA Head coach change??

    Here is the thing though.... The spread is different from a pro style offense. Yes there is way more passing, but it is VERY SIMPLE. A&M/Oregon runs this style of offense. A pro style offense is what Penn State runs and when run correctly it is amazing, but it is very complicated with all the...

    USMA Head coach change??

    Hire a normal coach and get rid of the old fashioned option offense. 99% of teams don't run just the option. The offensive style is boring and although it gets you 317 rushing yards a game it does not win you games. Go to a traditional offensive, maybe the spread. It is simple to learn, there...
