I would tell your son to make the best possible first impression. Last year when I applied to West Point for the first time I had to have my senior year English teacher fill out the SOE because all of my previous English teachers either left or were let go the year after I had them. It does seem...

AROTC - The Ohio State Untversity O-H-I-O

GreyHogs, I suggest having your daughter contact her MALO or admissions through the portal. I have done so and asked for ways to improve my file and what has kept me from getting an LOA. In all likely hood it will be the SATs, it was with me and so I am taking the ACTs in September. It may not...

Hey all, I had posted a while ago asking about my chances for an LOA and an appointment and was given the helpful information from mom3boys about retesting and from admissions that if I raised my Reading by 100 points (SAT) or got a 30 on ACTs I would be qualified for an LOA. I just registered...

The hundred push-ups plan works well. When I took the CFA I was able to max the push-ups easily and I did not use any weights in my training. Another way to improve the push-up count is to work out your abdominals as well. Doing this will help pull-ups, basketball throw, push-ups, and...

There should be a letter indicating what the envelopes are for. The "Request for academic information form not received", that is for your guidance counselor. You input her contact information and West Point will send an email to her with instructions. The icon will not change to green until a...

I am sorry for the loss of a fellow comrade. The stories that I have read of Special Forces soldiers are remarkable and the trials that he had gone through to earn the green beret means he was one of the best. My prayers are with his family and friends.

They do let you retake the SATs and ACTs even if you are now going to college.

I was wondering how competitive it is to get a nomination through Army ROTC. I am reapplying to West Point and was wondering if anyone had info. Also, does anyone know how a typical MOC will consider someone that is reapplying for their nomination and an appointment? Thank you, I appreciate all...

I know what it feels like to be in a competitive district. When I applied last year I did not get a nomination to West Point, all of those that did get the nomination got appointments; New Jersey 12 if you're wondering. Congrats on the nomination, I would say that having that under your belt...

I got in the mail a "Recommendation for ROTC Nomination to West Point" form in the mail because I will be applying for one. I was hoping someone could tell me who I am supposed to have fill out the form. I would think it would be my Military Science 101 Professor but would like to know what...

Sorry about the confusion, I was saying that my score of 590 was at the top of that third. Meaning of the third of the people admitted with that score range. Your son seems very impressive, to be a top athlete and to excel academically something that not everyone can do. Thank you everyone...

I don't think they accept satellite members but it could be something that I would want to bring over to West Point and start. What better idea for a club than getting together with people and having a barbecue?

mom3boys, your data shows that my reading score is at the top end of one third of the class that entered West Point so I feel that it is good enough. I want to focus on my grades in college because I feel that they are more important than SAT scores because college grades show how the candidate...

Hey all, I had recently taken my CFA, handed in final transcripts, completed all forms, and have all SOE recs in. All I am doing is working on my essays. I know that there are a lot of people asking how they compare to other candidates so I figured one more can't hurt. I am hoping that I stand a...

Scout, your posts were very inspiring and it has further resolved my desire to attend West Point and serve our country. Before I read your post, I had a difficult time putting into words why I want to be in the Army and go to West Point; I always knew these reasons but could not express them...

Hello, my name is Kyle and I had applied for USMA last year for the class of 2014 and I am reapplying for the class of 2015. Last year I had received a medical waiver for psoriasis and was then deemed medically qualified. I was told, when rolling my file over for this next year that the medical...
