If I remember, they recommend no necklaces or jewelry during Beast. I don’t think they’re prohibited though…

I have a Macbook for school and am planning on getting an iPad for USMA. Since most things will be on the issued laptop, I don’t think my Macbook will be of much use. The iPad will be good for organizing notes since I used to always take notes on paper.

You will get drug tested on R-day if appointed and accepted. Quit weed now and get rid of any related habits. You still have time to change.

I'll come back to this in 20 years...

Also, I'm pretty sure these are the boots I bought. I'm not sure as to how much you know about boots, but the two main ones people get are Garmont NFS and Garmont Bifidas. In my opinion, NFS is lighter but not as wide as Bifidas. Bifidas has a heavy, thick sole but is wider around the feet...

For boots, I have short, wide feet but I was able to find Bifidas that fit me really well on Amazon. Obviously though, it took a lot of returns before I was able to find the right size so the better option would be for you and your son to go to an AAFES because then you can actually try the...

I think if you search it up there’s something on USMA’s website saying so. The computers are indeed issued (although the cost is taken out of the cadet account, I believe). You can opt for either the premium package with extras such as a monitor and a printer (~400? extra dollars to be taken out...

Preferably include a resume with your request highlighting ECs that showcase your leadership.

How's your AY? Entire experience at USMA?

I don’t know about redoing the entire CFA but if I remember correctly in the Business Insider videos, don’t you get tested - at the very least - for pull-ups on R-day?

There was a thread about this earlier in the week and I believe that it is fine to travel abroad prior to R-Day. Funny enough, I'm also going to Italy and visiting Rome in June.

I put the lowest (50k) option just in case. I heard that you can change the amount each year so I'll just increase the coverage if needed in the future. Though, I don't think I'll die at USMA so I should be fine with 50k for right now.

Just to note, SLE is only for rising seniors in high school so you still got 2 years to go before you start worrying about that. Definitely another great experience to have though.

Academics: Keep grades up, get a relatively high SAT/ACT Sports: trying out for those sports are good, pick one or two and stick with it for the next three years ECs: heavy emphasis on leadership (Scouting, JROTC, student council/NHS, etc) and definitely make sure to do Boys State You’re only...

Absolutely excellent information, thanks Captain! Gonna be high stakes for a nonguaranteed reward the next four years but definitely beneficial in the end, one way or another.

Hey all, Incoming '28 cadet at USMA and I'm interested in going the premed route. Before I ask some questions, I know that some will tell me to relax and take it easy since I have only a few more months of senior year and break before R day. Thank you in advance but trust me, I have a bunch of...

time management and knowing which classes are just busy work and which require legitimate brainpower
