btw USMA got in the guiness book of records last year for the largest group doing cartwheels simultaneously....imagine that! :)

thank you,; hope it is not a hot one!

From looking at past ring weekend dates, the class of 2020 should be August 23-24. Can anyone verify? thank you

My DD attended one year of college prior to acceptance at USMA. She knew that the SOE's would be required. In anticipation of that, as soon as class started she was up front with the professors informing them of the expected review, participated as much as possible, and discussed any concerns...

I agree with bookreader as far as the path his son took. My DD was homeschooled for several years and is a current USMA cadet. By being homeschooled it actually offered more opportunity as far as community service projects. She initated the projects, contacted, and organized the event which...

http://www.usma.edu/dpe/SitePages/Cadet%20Individual%20Program.aspx My DD says run hills, run in the heat, and run some more; then go rucking.

Well said! My DD had a form from the counselor entitiled "brag sheet" in which there were questions regarding activities including athletics, academics, service, and work. It also included questions regarding her hobbies and situational questions. This was given to the teachers that were going...

DD was home for a few days and wanted to offer some insight from her point of view. It is long, but hopefully can help someone. This is advice from a cadet who has struggled greatly at West Point. I wanted to send any advice I could think of because, although a certain degree of difficulty...

I called yesterday and the Thayer is already booked for 2020 graduation.

It is a good suggestion that TA infroms the professor. Im pretty confident, my DD's calculus professor wrote a letter indicating her conduct in class participation, grades and her efforts to improve her grade. (tutored by professor several times) It is uploaded on the portal.

I agree with Ice64. You will get much more time with your cadet on A-day. Whatever time your cadet is scheduled to report on R-day is basically the last time you may actually see them. (an occasional glimpse as they report to stations or while your in the stands and they march onto the field)...

There was a two day try out and a written essay requirement, as far as I know. DD has been a weight lifter for several years and had been attempting to compete this past summer. However, training for beast and competition was a conflict.

My DD has just been accepted to the powerlifting team My 2020 DD has just been accepted to the powerlifting team. She has only had a couple of practises which are mandatory M-R. She already loves it. Coaches and fellow members are great. It looks like from the website they have two meets for...

I did see my plebe! Thank you for recording and posting!

Your very quick to judge. Brovol states he had been looking at pics "through the Facebook group,". I am posting pics to the parents page class of 2020-So cool.

Have not returned home yet to upload pics, but DD in H company too. I took some of the other companies as well, so keep looking next week at face book.

I believe my DD was required to get LOR from her college professors. Yes, classes are bigger, but she sat in the front row, made a point to introduce herself early in the semester, participated in class, and informed them mid semester that she would be needing a letter in the future. DD had...

Great that you are back. Hope the remaining healing goes well. Looking forward to picking the wedding colors.

USMA acceptance had to be completed by the 15th of April, I believe. So, the 1st person accepted on that date not yet knowing if he would have received an appointment from the other academy he applied to, leaving her 2nd in line and then to receive the TWE by mail within a week or so. I do...

It's not over till the TWE/Appointment arrives. It could be candidates turned down USMA for other academy appointments and now USMA is going thru their list. Could be candidate is not decided on which academy to choose until the deadline date for the other academies. DD was in this position...
