sounds good! thank you!

Am I allowed to bring a small pair of scissors so that I can cut my moleskin? Or would I need to bring a leatherman?

Perfect! thank you guys so much!!

My family friend was struggling with what she should get me as a gift for graduation since I'm not allowed to bring much with me. She came up with the idea of a digital picture frame since it is a slideshow of pictures rather than just one frame with the same one. As nice as the thought is, it...

Thanks! It really isn't the big deal that is sounds. All you have to do to get a Presidential nomination is have a parent on active duty, which luckily I do!

My dad is active duty in the Army so I automatically qualified for the Presidential nom. I also qualified for a congressional nomination and was told by the Congressman's office that there was a 99.9% chance that I would get it. However, I was appointed before the final decisions were made by...

I've got it covered!

awesome! i always perform better when more is expected of me. thanks!

I know on the CFA boys and girls had different scores for maxing out, passing, and failing. Are there also separate expectations during CBT? Everything I've read about preparing for CBT doesnt differentiate. I'm not trying to make things easier on my self, but I also don't want to kill myself...

Has the nomination posted on the portal yet? I qualified for a presidential nom and recieved an informal notice that I was getting the congressional nom too (which still hasnt posted on the portal). I got appointed with just the presidential. Your grades look good. I'm assuming you passed...

Ok that makes much more sense, so much more practical than buying two identical pairs of shoes! thanks!

The booklet for accepted applicants says that I should buy non patent leather low quarters and boots. It also says that I should wear one pair of "comfortable, well-fitting, inexpensive, black leather laced shoes with plain toe and rubber heel when reporting to West Point". The physical...

so I should definitely start remembering good jokes too then. thanks!

Just out of curiosity, why? And what type of quotes and trivia?

You won't recieve a packet. My appointment came in a priority mail shipping envelope with a black leather folder inside which contained the letter and a certificate. About a week after, your candidate portal page should automatically update so that an additional box appears underneath of the...

That just means that you have a file open with them. Don't let the SLS news get you down though, I didn't get into SLS and I just got my letter of appointment. Right now they're only viewing applications for the class of 2014. As far as I know, if you're applying for the class of 2015 they...

Other than contacting your liason, you'll have to wait for the letter. The portal doesnt show your updated status until about a week after you get the letter (at least mine didnt).

I just stumbled across this article: http://www.west-point.org/academy/malo-wa/inspirations/PhysicalPrepForUSMA.pdf it has a specific schedule for preparing, including long distance runs and intervals.

I don't think so. All they send is a letter saying that you recieved a nomination and maybe a little extra about why. West Point has what they need to assess you.
