Necklaces must be justified as religious, and shouldn't be seen when any uniform is worn. I would recommend just saving it for A-day.

I am going to be honest, it's been a while since I've seen the application portal, and they completely changed the website from when I applied. I will ask around and try to get you an answer.

I don't reccomend running in your boots, maybe go for some walks or hikes in them and gradually get your feet and boots familiar with one another. Try out some different socks and see what you like.

You'll be fine. Everything tested is solely diagnostic. Don't worry about it.

There is a 'rock math' class designed for this purpose! USMA will accommodate you

You can have more than one! Just keep in mind that you're going to need to move rooms every semester, and that's just another thing to carry. I'm personally very against the computer package, but that's just my opinion.

Hey all! As we wrap up the year and get ready to welcome the Class of 2028, I'd just like to offer some knowledge as a current plebe getting recognized soon! Happy to answer any questions about beast/the academic year/all things West Point!

Would like to recommend against opting for the computer package. Cadets sell their monitors for very cheap (like $20-30 bucks, mine was given to me by another cadet) and the printer is not easy to set up (and every company/most academic buildings/the library have printers)

I wouldn't say that any one pillar is more challenging than the other, but rather balancing the three and keeping sane. In the AY the military stuff tends to come pretty easily (formations/uniforms/reporting to class...) because everyone around you is doing the same thing. The plebe-specific...

This is a pretty big question to ask and not a super easy one to answer. During the AY, most upperclassmen drop the super strict military formalities that you have during training, and a lot of people shift from being seemingly really mean to people who just really care about you/your success...

My parents didn't bring me up to USMA, they booked my ticket/shuttled to to hotel/shuttled me to USMA on R-Day, so for me, reporting time really didn't matter (It probably wont matter a whole lot for you either). Get there when you get there, do what you're told, and you'll do just fine ☺️

For me, the hardest part is that you can't befriend upperclassmen and you can't talk outside. I'm something of a social butterfly, so having to shut up and do plebe stuff can really bring me down.

Hi all! I am a current female plebe in my second semester at USMA. I remember being appointed to the academy at this time last year, and not having many female resources/perspectives, so would like to open this thread to answer any questions that you may have from a girl's POV.

I have an overnight visit scheduled for March 16/17 and have a few questions. Most importantly, the 16th is founders day. Will my visit be different than usual due to Founder's Day celebrations? How can I plan for that? Also, what should I wear? I saw a thread earlier about what boys usually...

count me in

i just accepted appointment about a week ago, not seeing the 'admissable packets' tab at all... whats in there?

As an incoming cadet, do you have any suggestions for which boots, running shoes, and dress shoes do purchase beforehand?

I won my MOCs (TX21) nomination to USMA early this past December. This morning I received a call from him telling me that I had won an appointment to USMA. After checking my candidate portal and email, I’ve seen no confirmation of this. I understand that MOCs don’t have the same understanding of...

Went to Summer Seminar this past June and have just completed admissions file this week. Yes, the SS app is used for much of the personal information regarding a candidate, however, much of the application is closed until it's open to everyone.
