Quick question - In my portal, I have the following status in my Application Overview: My nomination letter states, "...You have been selected to receive a nomination to the US Military Academy at West Point..." How do I know if I'm a principal or an alternate without having to call my MOC's...

Just curious, would I be competitive with just the 31 ACT-Math and 30 ACT-English scores? I have a 23 for Reading, 28 for Science, and 9/12 for Writing (superscores).

Quick follow-up. I just finished the CFA and improved (most of) my scores to the following: BB Throw: 76 ft Pullups: 9 Shuttle: 8.71 secs Situps: 80 Pushups: 69 1-Mile: 7:38 :( (had a bad stomach cramp on lap 2, but I sucked it down) Did I pass, or is my mile time failing? Appreciate your...

Will do. Thanks!

I understand there are deadlines in place and that SAT test schedules being published in advance, but what about the candidate who busts his butt all summer long studying for the test and takes the very first SAT offered in their senior year? Have there been any other candidates in the past who...

Hi, Remember me? http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/applications-open.50454/ SAT (pre-March 2016): 690 math, 540 reading, 620 writing I just took the October 1st SAT test and feel really confident about getting better scores in all 3 areas. I've seen the class profiles...

Hi, I took today's (10/1/16) SAT and feel real good about the scores; I took an SAT prep course this past summer that got my scores (unofficial/in-class test results) up almost 200 points: 1450 range (post 3/2016 SAT). I truly believe today's test will be around that range, if not better. My...

I'll answer it for anyone else who may not have access already and wants a head start. There are 2 other questions: 2. Explain why you want to attend the United States Military Academy and serve on active duty as an Army officer. 3. What are the most important qualities in becoming a...

Just an update: Application finally opened for me today after I asked my regional coordinator. He did mention the low SAT/ACT scores which could have affected my portal access. That's why I sent him my resume which lists my other academic achievements (class rank/GPA) and extra curriculars...

Thank you very much for clarifying, Buff81. I wasn't aware that August 15 was the official date; I was too fixated on the July 31 date in my portal. --- Initial Evaluation Pending --- ** This evaluation will not begin until July 31, 2016 at the earliest for most candidates to USMA 2021.**...

Thanks for responding, Brovol. Yes, I suspect ACT/SAT reading scores are low, but then why is the AF Academy and Army ROTC apps open to me? BTW, I need to clarify somethings on my stats: 3. ACT: 28 for both science & ENGLISH. 4. SAT (pre-March 2016 version) I wrote earlier about my CFA...

I'd like to ask one of the other candidates who have their full application portal to post the essay/statements so I can get a head start. I saw one of the posts with an essay topic list: http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/cadet-statement.50520/ 1. "West Point and the Army...

Still not opened for me. I've tried calling my field force rep, but the person hasn't returned my calls. Is it just me? Allow me to share my stats; am I not competitive enough? 1. GPA: 3.92 Weighted / 3.73 Unweighted (President's Award all 3 years) 2. Class Rank: 35 out of 353 Note: The...

Appreciate all the responses! It's a given that I will continue to work harder to improve the performance. Yes, I tried to simulate the timing required on the CFA (execution & rest periods); I may have deviated, at most, 2-3 minutes before taking the mile run. For the "veterans" on this...

Update 8/5/16 afternoon - Still NOT opened for me. Thanks for checking with your L.O., Pinkroyal.

Hi - I'm a candidate seeking an appointment into West Point next year. I've been practicing the CFA and here's where I stand: BB Throw: 71 ft Pullups: 3 to 5 - This seems to be a very weak area for me, but is it failing? Shuttle: 9.7 secs Situps: 70 Pushups: 64 1-Mile: 7:27 I know the...

Hi - Unfortunately, my application portal is the same, unopened. It does mention earliest availability being 7/31. Am I screwed? Anyone else in the same boat? "This evaluation will not begin until July 31, 2016 at the earliest for most candidates to USMA 2021."
