DS was just at WP for an overnight visit last week. The weather was cold and rainy (stormy even), so after our WP tour we ditched our plans to hit NYC (we were wet enough at that point!). We also drove and were pretty tired, so we didn't do much, but we did go to OCC and it was pretty neat...

Oh absolutely - give me suggestions!! I know there is much to see, and I don't want to miss anything. I'll definitely be taking my camera.

Great! Thanks for the reassurance. DS went to SLS last year and loved it. He was ready to go! But then ran into some challenging times (as I mentioned above) and has just had a hard time making a decision. I hope the visit will help him decide either way. My husband and I will be going...

DS is scheduled for an overnight visit next week. He received his appt. in December, but has yet to return his postcard. He has had a somewhat challenging senior year (in his personal life as well as a situation where his entire team turned against him when each member was questioned about an...

I have a nightmare story for you. When DS went for SLS, he flew into Newark and rode the bus that WP sent for the SLS participants. I flew in a few days later to LaGuardia and arrived at 11:00 pm. We had pre-arranged (and PRE-PAID) for a shuttle to pick us up at the airport and drive us to...

No, there's only one portal. :-) Our candidate portal just says MO62 (doesn't say which senator that is). However, the mystery is solved. We received a letter from the Senator today announcing that she gave son the nom. It also goes on to say "this concludes a major step in obtaining an...

Son's candidate portal must not have been updated with the appointment info yet - below the nominations section is still the "additional forms" section that has been on the portal for months. We'll check back frequently, probably after the holidays since admissions probably isn't there this...

Americas Finest - Where do you do that on the website? (accept, give uniform size, etc.) We haven't noticed any change to son's candidate portal at all that even shows he was appointed. Thanks for the info!!!

Yes, take the ACT/SAT as soon as possible. The best advice son ever got from his high school counselor was "Take it early and take it often." He went from a 26 ACT composite the first time to a 32 the third and fourth time. His composite was the same for both the third and fourth time, but...

Congrats to your son! My DS received his appointment to USMA yesterday. He did have an LOA and we knew he was receiving a nom from congressman, but he also received a nom from one of our senators (we don't know which one - haven't been officially notified but it is showing up on the candidate...

My son has the opposite issue! We're from Missouri also. He was notified last month by his Congressman that he was receiving his nomination. The letter said he would be forwarding the nomination paperwork to USMA. The candidate portal isn't showing the nomination yet. I'm not sure how...
