I apologize in advance if the question I'm about to ask doesn't belong in this thread, but what cell phone provider has the best data coverage at USNA? I currently have AT&T and my family is planning to switch to Sprint if Sprint is okay at USNA. Should we or should we not make the switch? Thank...

Hello all, First off, I would like to thank everyone who has given me help throughout my journey; thanks to you guys, I now will be a part of the Class of 2021 this coming June. I have a question that has been stuck in my head lately. As many know, AP registration at high schools has passed...

Hello everyone! Today, I received a new letter from USMA, titled "Candidate File Qualified." The content of the letter is the following: "We have received all your application information and the Admissions Committee has qualified your file. West Point has eliminated rolling admissions for...

Hello, I've been done with my whole application for quite some time now (since November). I recently updated my profile with several significant awards and achievements. Will the admissions board see this when making their decisions, or have I submitted my updates too late? Thank you in...

Hello, Before I begin, I'd like to say that I have not yet been accepted to USAFA. This is just a question that might affect me once I begin to attend. I am currently a senior, and the time to sign up for AP exams is approaching quickly. Sooner or later, I will have to make a choice whether to...

Hello all, I see many posts saying that LOA + nomination basically guarantees an appointment, but does a LOE + nomination mean anything? I got a LOE a few months ago and a nomination a few weeks ago. I was wondering if this guarantees an appointment. If it doesn't, then what can this mean...

Hello everyone, I have done a fair amount of research trying to find an answer to my question, but to no avail. If I missed a previous thread that discusses the question I'm about to ask, I am sorry in advance and would appreciate it if I be directed to it. I just received a nomination from...

Hello all, I checked my USMA portal today, and I noticed two new red status icons (my heart sank, lol). The two new red status icons indicate that I need to submit a video of me performing pull-ups and another of me doing push-ups. I should be able to complete the videos with no hassle, but I'm...

Hello all, I'm not quite sure if I'm able to post my rough draft of an essay on here, but I've seen several threads of that sort, so here I go. The prompt which invaded my essay off of is: "One page essay which states reasons for seeking nomination." It was another slow day for my parents’...

Hello everyone, I just have this quick question regarding candidate writing samples and personal statements. Do the people who review candidates' personal statements frown upon brief personal narratives? Like, for the questions that ask, "Describe a time when... blah... blah.." will it be okay...

Hello all, This is a question I probably should have asked before I submitted my Candidate Activities Record, but is a candidate allowed to add more activities after it is submitted? So let's say that I become an Eagle Scout in a few months. Is there a way for me to enter in that information in...

Hello all, I am aware that USAFA goes by the "rolling" selection system, so I was wondering when do they start announcing the people who have been accepted? And in order to be considered for admission in the early phase, when would your application need to be completed by? And I'm pretty sure...

Hello everyone, Today I have a question that's been sparking a debate in my head for the past couple of days. And I wish to ask you -- fellow applicants/admission wizards(: -- for your opinion on the following situation. As a lot of you may know, College Board has changed their SAT format...

Hello everyone, I recently sent an introductory email to my ALO for USAFA, and he replied back asking for my résumé. I know what a résumé is (obviously, well at least I hope so), but I was wondering if there was anything specific I should include in it? I thought about asking him directly what...

Hello everyone, I couldn't think of a better placer than here to ask my semi-ignorant question: when should an applicant start applying for congressional nominations? I've done my fair share of research, and nowhere I found a clear cut date when I could start applying for them. Most of the...

Hey everyone, I am very new on this forum, as I just joined a minute ago. I'm not really sure if this is the right place to ask a "Chance Me?" question, but here goes nothing. I was just wondering if I am on the right track to earning a spot in Class of 2021 (USMA). Gender: Male Ethnicity...
