Thank you for the response. What about infantry?

Which is the most competitive?

Thank you for your insight. It says in my portal that I have it, but there is also a note saying that this simply means I am eligible to compete for it. However, the interviewer told me I have received it officially.... Will just have to wait and see I suppose.

How will you know if you have a presidential nomination? One of my interviewers during my congressional nomination interview told me I have received it, yet my portal just says that I am eligible to compete for one. How do you know if you have actually received it? Thanks!

Are you more likely to receive your first choice? Or is it common to receive more than one?

I have my nomination interviews this coming Saturday and am very excited; however, would it be too late to change my academy preferences? I have USNA as my #1 ( my dad went there ) but after a lot of deliberation I believe West Point is my top choice. Are preferences really important and would...

I received a 28 on my ACT. This is pretty disappointing, and I'm wondering if it's even worth submitting? Also, is it too late to take another test?

Always be honest, but I have been shocked by how many friends of mine at academies lied on their medical forms.... It is rather sad.

Absolutely. Nothing is ever certain. Thanks everyone for the input!

Thank you for those statistics! They are very encouraging. It will be interesting to see what happens, but this process will have been worth it either way. It has certainly matured me and made me a more dedicated student.

Thanks! I will definitely be doing all of those things, especially staying out of trouble ;). Waiting is difficult, but I've waited a long time already and can go a little longer....

Congrats to you as well!

I understand, and I was not trying to imply that I will receive it. I am pursuing every possible avenue. Thanks for the input!

Upon completing my application, I was informed that I was academically and physically qualified but medically disqualified. However, today USMA notified me that I have received a waiver for my disqualifying condition. Now that I am triple qualified and have a presidential nomination, does this...

Congrats on the waiver! I wish I could answer your question. Would you mind telling me what all you did to receive a waiver so quickly? I am DQ'd as well but for something I don't have anymore.... Hope someone can offer you some insight!

I go to a very rigorous school and earned an A in algebra 2 and Honors Pre-calculus. I'm taking AP Calculus this year and have a B so far. I'm not really sure why I struggle with the standardized test math sections. I felt great on the ACT so we will see!

What do you have to send in to improve your chances of receiving a waiver? I had minor eczema as a child and was disqualified. I no longer have it and I went to a dermatologist and he sent a letter to dodmerb confirming this. Is there anything else I can do?

It's been a tough process. Would love to hear something but I've waited a long time and I can wait a little longer. I guess perspective is everything and there are more ways to serve than through USNA if it isn't meant to be. Thanks for the insight!

Hey I went to USAFASS too! It was a blast. Thank you and best of luck! I'm sure this process is just as stressful for the parents as the candidates themselves.

I have a president nom and a fairly competitive application as well as Summer seminar and CVW. Haven't heard anything yet!
