Just got word that my nomination from my congressman, was a "primary" nomination. Is this the same thing as a principal nomination? I've heard that folks who get that nom have a slot opened for them as long as they are qualified. Does that now apply to me?? Additionally, I have a nomination from...

Rat here, Yesterday I just got the official word that my congressman is nominating me. At the interview, the committee basically nominated me on the spot and said "we're going to do everything we can to get you there." And I know that they were talking about maybe switching up the way they...

Hi everyone, It's your favorite Rat again with some more admissions questions. So my friend at West Point who was nominated with me last year is sadly being medically separated from USMA. We were both nominated by the same Congressman but she was #1 and I was #2 on the list I believe (is...

Hi all, I'm a Rat coming to you from VMI. Pretty much done with my application packet, got 2 nomination interviews on lock with both of my senators and will hear from my congressman here pretty soon too. The only things I don't have in are my CFA and my college transcripts. Considering the...

Hi all, I'm attending VMI this year and have plans to reapply to West Point and will consider it heavily in my plans for next year (2015). I was very close to getting in for the class of 2018, as I got my nomination, was 3 Q'd but was not selected. I am majoring in International Studies at...

Kicking myself everyday for not applying for the 4 year Army ROTC scholarship but will be attending VMI next year with every intention of obtaining a 3.5, 3 year or USMA appointment. Current and former cadets at VMI: what would you say the mean credentials are for scholarship winners? GPA...

Got the TWE this year, and will be attending VMI next year with Army ROTC, hungry as hell to get a slot to the USMA class of 2019. I want to get on the reapplying game as early as possible. Anyone with prior experience wanna share with me what the timetable is for reapplying to USMA? Even...

I have a nomination and am triple qualified for USMA. I have been declined by USNA and the deadline is quickly approaching. I talked to my FFR and she said an appointment is doubtful but until they say no, I will continue to wait. What does me still "being alive" mean right now? Good sign or...

Hi all, With USNA rejecting me the West Point situation looking very bleak, I am proud and excited to say that it looks like I'll be in Lexington! I will be an officer in the US Army at the end of this journey. I will do whatever it takes to get there. Now, I have grown up under the assumption...

So I'm an accepted cadet to the VMI class of 2015+3 and will attend there if USMA and USNA decline. I've been playing football my entire life and it's one of the things in my life I've dedicated my soul to. I love the game. I really want to play in college at VMI (Or at a SA, but that's another...

I received my unranked congressional nomination (OH-13) in December and was just informed this weekend of my medical and academic qualifications. I knew that I was physically qualified so I now have 3 Q status. What happens from here? I looked at the class profile on the USMA website and saw...

Hi all, I received my appointment to the Virginia Military Institute in December and read that on the letter that came with the appointment that I need to turn in my admissions reservation packet no later than 15 February 2014. As a USNA and USMA candidate, I don't expect to hear from them by...

So I'm still waiting for DoDMERB to finish my medical review (malfunction in database kept me from being added) but is it normal for admissions not to ask for my first semester transcripts? I have a nomination, my application has been complete for quite some time and am physically qualified. I...

Alright so I thought I had this all straightened out but I just need a quick verification. If I choose to go the SMC route to VMI, Norwich or the Citadel I wish to enroll in NROTC MO. Even though I've applied for the 4 year scholarship, I don't plan to get it. Do I need to get a scholarship in...

So the more I think about it, the more I believe that the US Naval Academy is the right place for me. I want it bad. Now there is still a chance I could get in this year, I have my nomination, my application is complete, I just need to ear back from the Academy. Now originally, my plan was to...

Hi all, Playing the waiting game with USNA right now. My application has been completed for several months now and I just recently received my congressional nomination. DodMERB is still processing my medical exams but I expect to hear back that everything is fine shortly. When I am officially...

So I got an email today telling me that they had received my opto test results but were missing the medical test results. I went to the medical test and they said I passed everything no problem and they said they'd send it to the proper address but apparently they didn't get it. I replied to the...

Hey all, So I'm a candidate for the USNA class of 2018 waiting to hear from admissions and my nomination sources for my admission status. If admitted to the academy I would be entering one of the most technical schools in the nation, thriving on brilliance in the math and science fields...

Hi all, Just out of curiosity, if one were to enroll in the Early Commissioning Program at say Marion Military Institute, after commissioning in order to go active duty could they transfer to VMI or the Citadel?

Hey everyone, I'm a varsity high school football player and just got my Candidate Visit Weekend Invitation in my email yesterday. I play on Friday Nights and have film on Saturday mornings every weekend they have listed for the Fall 2013 schedule. Serving as a Marine Officer and attending USNA...
