    Comparing other colleges (non SA's)

    Since this forum was such a huge help when my son was applying to USMA (current Yuck) I am reaching out for a bit of advice for the college search for my DS. She is not going the SA route, which is perfectly fine. (Not her cup of tea, let's say) So we are looking at several colleges. She has...

    Trouble accepting scholarship

    DS signed his acceptance letter for a four-year scholarship, it was scanned and emailed as an attachment to the email on the letter. It was also uploaded as a document to his portal on the 24th of November. It is still showing as pending, and we aren't sure what to do. Tried sending a message...

    Is this an appointment letter?

    DS just got a letter in the mail today. It states: "Congratulations! The Admissions Committee has recommended you for an appointment to USMA. Accordingly, I have reserved a cadetship for you contingent upon continued excellent work in school. When these matters are resolved, you will be...

    No interview?

    Just curious if this has happened to anyone else. After receiving his LOE DS sent his RC an email stating that his packet was complete and asked how he should go about scheduling an interview. The answer was that his interview from SLE was good, so that another one is not required. Is that...

    3Q!

    Doing the happy dance here in our house! DS is medically qualified today per the DODMERB website. His LOE letter stated that he was qualified both academically and physically already, so I think that means 3Q to me! He has a Pres Nom, so fingers are crossed for an early appointment. Any...

    Problem with USMA uploads to DODMETS

    Curious as to what makes an application complete "enough"

    On DS's portal it states that the DODMERB is still "NO ACTION". Does anyone have any idea how much of the application needs to be complete for someone at admissions to change it to the "request scheduling" status? He completed all except his candidate statements several weeks ago. Teacher...

    When will DODMERB change from "NO ACTION"?

    DS has completed all parts of his application, except for the candidate statements. He has been complete except for two SOE's and his candidate statements for a few weeks. Today all of his SOE's are now "green" and he only lacks his statements. So will that be enough of the application...

    When will the next step in the portal open?

    DS went to SLE week 1. We were hoping the rest of the online application would open a little earlier for him because of that. I know it states that the "earliest" it will open for most candidates is early July. We are reading other SA's on this forum are already open to start the paperwork...

    Any news on SLE?

    Today is April 1, which is the last of the dates that acceptances were supposed to be sent. DS's portal still shows "pending". Wondering if anyone heard today that they made it in, or if anyone knows how late acceptances will be sent, how full the classes already are, etc.?
