TWE received. Reapplicant, top college with 3.85 GPA and D1 athlete as well as legacy. Loss for words

AMEN TO THAT! great man, Hal Moore, and quote.

I took Advanced Multivariable calculus Differential equations Chem 1 and 2 Composition Literature Chinese Advanced US History Information systems Psychology And got a 3.85. I am a reapplicant this year. I was told my course load was great and my grades were outstanding. Honestly...

No news here in PA. Was told yesterday my file was very strong. Parents, if you think this is tough on you, imagine how it is on us.

I've been watching all of the TWE updates roll in for candidates and their parents on the forums and it really does make my heart wrench. I guess I am one of the lucky ones who is still on the island, for now. For reference, I am a reapplicant, 54th in my class in college (top 4%) in an...

I didn't intend to step on any toes or to convey a generalized statement... I never said that USNA didn't have opportunities. I just said that USMA has a lot more variety and, from what I'm told, more opportunities.... Guess I'll find out when I get to Navy.

I could ask some cadets I know; I do know that there are a mother load of summer internships. A firstie I know got his top secret clearance with the NSA actually.. I am not saying that USNA doesn't have opportunities like that, I am just saying that with the comparatively larger number of...

USMA has way more majors than USNA. I believe you can find that info on their academic websites. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am nearly certain of that. USNA and USMA both have extensive and among the top ranked engineering programs in the nation, but USMA has tons of other majors that are...

I think this is somewhat of an asinine thread. No offense to ANYONE in particular, I just think the whole discussion is invalid. I want to go to USNA because of certain career fields I have always wanted to be a part of. There is no difference between a cadet and a mid. The differences lie in...

Thanks for all of the info. I was told my file had not be evaluated for an appointment yet, although I was deemed fully qualified. I guess my full package hasn't gone before the board. My school was very slow in getting my transcripts out and I had to wait until the USNA received/processed my...

I am a college reapplicant (ROTC, D1 athlete) fully qualified with a nomination. I hear typically about 90 Mids enter each year with 1 or more years of academic prep beyond high school, not including foundation or NAPS. Have any college applicants heard back yet? I am hoping to hear soon. My...

I was told by my BGO today, a Captain, that he checked my file and it said "Fully Qualified". I am a college reapplicant. Unfortunately I did not receive a congressional nomination this year, but I do have a presidential and applied for the VP as well. Anyone who has seen previous posts...

hey man, I cannot stress enough that you need to follow what YOU want to do. USMA suffers greatly from the "Dark Ages" which are a very real and depressing few months that you saw cadets in. USMA will send you to awesome schools over summers, like Airborne, Air Assault, you will have...

I am also a reapplicant, applying from a military college. I have an 800 R and 690 M SAT, 3.85 GPA while taking: Composition, Advanced Multivariable Calculus, Chinese History, Chem, Chem Lab, and Information Systems. I was a 3-sport varsity athlete in HS and my dad is a USNA grad. I also...

Oh, and to be honest, unless you are on the swim/water polo team, weekly swims will NOT cut it. Much of your physical prep will be done on your own time.

There are weekly swim workouts as well as (mostly) daily PT sessions. Your focus should be on your grades and performance. It's good to have an early plan but way to early to be 100% into it, you have to get through Plebe summer, and you need to excel in all pillars for a special warfare slot at...

I'd say you are on the right track with the running, you should work up to 5-7 miles 3, 4, or 5 times a week with sprints in between. Put a weight vest on and run 10 repeat 400s. Do hills. etc. Don't worry, it's not that bad! If you are in decent shape you will be fine. I have been swimming a...

Hey, I am also a reapplicant applying from a military college. I took my CFA and maxed all of the events and was told my score was very "strong" and that it would help my file. An average score won't hurt you, but it won't help you if you know what I mean... Request a retake. Carb up the day...

Like most from PA, I have not heard from the Senators. I was told by my congressman that I was definitely in the running for a nomination but still have not heard anything. Any PA kids hear anything from Congressman Perry?

Hello everyone. I am a college reapplicant. Last year I received a nomination to all 3 service academies from my congressman. I am applying this year as a college student to the USNA and I have applied and interviewed with all of my nomination sources. I am in PA-04 and interviewed with both...
