It was literally the next morning. She...

    Gift for Female overnight visit host

    My DD is part of the CPRC and I agree, no gift is needed! We did give a Gift Card to her host when she did her overnight. It wasn't expected , at all, but it is just a nice gesture. My DD's only "perk" is they don't get inspected, lol

    My DD gave her host a Gift Card to a local restaurant last year. American Burrito & West Point pizza are big hits along with the sushi place. Starbucks is also inside Grant Hall.

    Appointment Notification

    Yep, mine had one too and is a Plebe now. Not a deal breaker. Just make sure all those checks are green and not sure if it's to late, but do the ACT/SAT as much as you can to better those scores. CFA scores too. After that, it's just a waiting game. Mine didn't get her appointment until April...

    Switching Schools and its Effect on My Application

    E-qip

    Great advise. Yes, DD has saved it and emailed me a copy. I have a computer file with all of our docs and tend to print out and/or maintain hard copied, as needed. My other half manages Homeland security at our airport and goes through the E-QIP, every 10 yrs, or so (guess I could've asked...

    E-qip

    My DD got it today and completed it. She saved the docs instead of printing them. Her reasoning was that nothing needed to be physically submitted, but instead electronically done. Is this accurate? Also, did you or your DS/DD receive an email saying it was accepted/completed? Thanks!!

    Lol, I won't. It was just what a mom told me. She loves all that crazy wilderness stuff. She has been in MCJROTC in High School and spent a week at Paris Island and loved, loved, loved it. She also did CLC last summer, which is similar to SLE, but local for marines. She is going again 1st...

    IAMA USMA 2020 AMA

    Agreed. I am happy and excited for her. She is my last one. I joined the fb pages, the WP parents club, yadda, yadda, yadda. I have had some actual phone calls and hear that many sent packages during beast and even sneak in a few treats. Not sure what is a treat and what can be trouble...
