Just finished watching my DD's R Day Oath Ceremony. What a great event. The weather cooperated and the New Cadets looked fabulous. 2019 candidates - good luck as you strive to be here next year.

Anybody notice the days for travel to WP for R Day in the Travel portion of the ADMIT KIT"? This is for admitted USMA 2018 people.

My DD's Appointment showed up on her Portal this morning! I think they used her SDVET NOM (she had 2 Congressionals/AROTC/SDVET)!!! Plans A and C are now complete.

DD just had her 3Q letter posted on her portal! Now needing that pesky Appointment! She is just finishing up her overnight and LOVES West Point even more. Got to meet the Supe also.

Just some updates from MAJ Turner, SE RC, from a cold, wind swept, snowy West Point: *The Portal being updated was a simple software update conducted by the computer support staff (he chuckled, when he read all the great theories on why it was down) *The first wave of 300+ appointments did go...

My DD and I start our Overnight Visit to USMA tomorrow (Sunday in NYC to see Wicked and visit the WTC, Tuesday night in the barracks for her). Staying at the Thayer Hotel on Post for me. Any questions about the trip are more than welcome.

The Army Parachute Team was in Lake Wales Florida over the Christmas break. A YG '60 grad hosted a party for them last week. I took my DD over to the event. What a great group of young men and women! Every time I interact with Cadets, I come away a better person. They were smart, respectful...

I don't see many choices for prep schools for females that are not State schools. My DD will have the GI Bill, so private schools that count as colleges are the best financial choices. So far, Greystone looks like it fits the bill the best. My DD is fully qualified except for the CFA, so I like...

Anyone know of someone failing one of the areas on the CFA and still getting an appointment?

Someone was asking about the number of LOEs given. Lets start our own survey. LOE: Y/N File Completed: Y/N/Date if not what was left when you got LOE? SAT /ACT Range: SAT; 500-600/600-650/700-750/750-800 ACT Composite: ? BS/GS: Y/N Eagle Scout: Y/N Honor Society: Y/N President/VP Sr...

DD's MOC NOM (FL14) just showed up on her USMA application. Took about two weeks from when the Congresswoman called her and three weeks after the interview.

My D has completed her USMA application except for the CFA (has an LOE/3 NOMs/overnight in JAN14). She has never heard from or had contact with a MALO/FFR (or anyone except for LOE). Just wondering what the "NORM" is?

MY D interviewed with her Congressional Board last week (09NOV13). Congresswoman (Tampa, FL) called her today (16NOV13) with word that she has a nomination. I think only @6 people did interviews for USMA, so all were probably good. Three NOMs, thus far, maybe one more to be had.

Given access to DODMETS @8OCT. Did both of the appointments within 10 days. DODMETS got the results within 3 days. Sent to DODMERB 31OCT. DODMERB determined qualified 5NOV (no remedials).

My daughter just got her first Varsity letter. Her cadet activities record was already submitted. What would be the best way to get her CAR updated? Also, her Academic Info Form was submitted three weeks ago and is still not green in the system. Bug admissions? Or wait another week? My D is slow...

My daughter got an LOE from the Admissions Director today. Moving her ACT score up 7 points must have been the kicker. lol Her ACT/SAT scores are still not great, but around the mean of YG17's scores. She is middle to strong in all the other whole person areas. Additionally, she has two...

Good news for my daughter. Bad news for the guys. If women get in at the 20% rate that's about 50 more women (vs. 15.3% for YG2017). The 25% rate will make it 100 more. 30% will almost equal the number of "qualified" women who applied last year. 347 women were qualified last year and 181 got...

Congressman Castor, FL-14 (Tampa area), just hosted an "Academy Day" yesterday. It was well attended and gave a lot of great information on ROTC and the various Academies. I thought USMA did a great job by having a "Firstie" be the speaker. I highly encourage all prospective candidates seek out...
