    Admissions Forum 5/21

    I (as a mom) was having the exact same feelings about my own "hard to read" son a little over a year ago. He already had all the right pieces of the puzzle in order to put together a strong application, but was lacking a little direction. We went to a West Point admissions information meeting...

    Imposing Letters of Recc

    I agree wholeheartedly with all the advice, and we also did pretty much everything covered. We included a cover letter with instructions and our son's resume. If I could add one more tip: Ask more than the required number of people for letters, and then choose the best! We did this, and I am...

    wait list

    Granny, according to what pmlutton was told when she called admissions last week (quoted above), apparently some candidates are not going to be notified that they have not been accepted. From what I have read on this forum, it appears AFA is sending out appointments, waitlist letters, and...

    wait list

    the admissions officer told me that the "class is full." He basically said that, of the appointments they have offered, enough have been admitted to "fill the class." If you are on the wait list or still waiting. I would recommend you call USAFA admissions and verify the info. I got today...

    CLass Rank

    This would be a good question for your school's guidance counselor or registrar, as it will vary from school to school. At my son's school it is based on GPA and the level of courses you are taking. Example--2 students both have maintained a 4.0 all four years. One has taken all standard...

    Death before this Honor

    I have read several books by and about former MOH winners and have also been troubled by the small number that have been awarded since 2001, and especially that they have all been posthumous. I have no military backgound (other than my son being a candidate), but my gut feeling as a citizen...

    NROTC Scholarship News

    There is a post from last week, I believe, that listed the dates of the remaining NROTC boards. I believe it said the week of the 17th (this week) and then again the first week of April. You could also log onto the NROTC scholarship tracker page to track his status, or as someone else...

    ACE loan and Initial Fee

    I have been wondering the same thing and have never seen the question answered quite clearly. I will state it a different way: What if we as parents want to write a check to the Naval Academy covering all these fees for books, laptops, uniforms, etc. so that our student is not in debt? Would...

    waiver question

    What is the time frame for waivers at USNA? I have been told that my sons waiver is waiting to be reviewed by the superintendent or dean. I tried to find a little info on the forum, and read that waivers are reviewed in March or April, but it was unclear if this was just regarding vision...
