    APFT on R-Day/CBT

    Honestly, (based on our CBT) any eval, physical or otherwise, you take holds no bearing on your Academic year standing. Yeah it's recorded but it does not factor into your grade. It may also surprise you how many people fail the initial APFT, more than half for our class. That's not to say don't...

    How often is it appropriate to contact my admissions officer?

    anudo, at this stage, I would think it wise, and within your right, to contact whoever is in charge of helping you to coordinate your file, be it the prior enlisted liaison, or the RC, and attempt to gauge or find out some information. If someone knows otherwise please feel free to correct me...

    CFA at NASS

    They organize it by Company, and then platoon. There will be multiple platoons from the same company taking the CFA, however each squad from different platoons will be at different stations in order of the CFA events. The mile run is done on a track with your platoon, but we did on an indoor...

    2018 CGA Waitlist

    I recently declined my appointment to USCGA in favor of West Point. So I hope the appointment will go to someone who truly wishes to attend.

    Army Intelligence careers

    Really? That's awesome! I speak Chinese (mandarin) fluently myself :shake:. To be perfectly honest I am unsure. According to a rising firstie I was fortunate enough to speak to, the Army has begun to take languages, interviews e.t.c into consideration, but ultimately it is your GPA/rank/grade...

    Army Intelligence careers

    It may be better that he is looking to Army for an MI career. As far as I know it is harder to secure an intel position in the Navy, as that is a restricted line and only a very small percentage of naval officers (something like 5%?) are within that parameter, and most if not all are Mid level...

    SLE Question

    Uh, everything besides your ACT scores look good. I think you may have answered your own question in that regard. I would advise you to look at the class profiles from previous years. In all likelihood that could be one of the major reasons. Hope this helps.

    Weight

    I had to fill out this form regarding height/weight. It asked for me to retest prior to a set date. If I had been unable to reach the proper height/weight ratio prior to said date they would have closed my file. Thankfully I completed it, I am about 5'11 so I had to gain 7-8 pounds in 25 days to...

    Clubs

    This may be a cop out but you can go to the page for Competitive club sports they offer and that includes things like football and stuff that's not varsity. For hobby clubs they include stuff like hunting/fly fishing, and lastly the military clubs include a pistol team that competes. I hope...

    Visiting WP

    Definitely! I was able to go from being 3 Q'ed to receiving a LOE about 2 weeks ago, and attending an overnight later this week. The interviews can definitely be a game changer. I think what matters the most however, is making a solid impression upon your admissions officer that you are unique...

    Giving advice, help

    Hi, just wanted to ask a question. I received a nomination just yesterday (my congressman, NY 16, doesn't do ranked noms), and have also been triple Q'ed and have an LOE, and when I had my interview with the head of the NorthEast admissions officer -fairly recently- he told me my file was the...
