Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the help over the past few years. I'm not exaggerating when I say you guys are a huge reason for why I was able to see it through to the end. To anyone applying for 2017 or beyond, I only have one piece of advice. On these forums, you will hear again and...

Well, I just got a call today from one of my top ROTC schools, and they spent about 30 minutes on the phone telling me all the reasons I should go to their school instead of West Point. The issue is, they had some points. The one thing that's worried me about West Point is the lack of time for...

I've read posts alluding to this before, but I feel like I should just ask it outright if I want a completely straight answer. On a MOC's unranked slate of nominees, can the vacancy winner be one with an LOA? Or do nominees with an LOA not recieve the vacancy, because all they need is a...

For the army rotc 4-year scholarship application, do I need to have an interview by the december 31st review board deadline in order to meet that deadline, or do I just need to contact my first choice school by then?

USMA is by far my number one school. My number two is...i dont know. If I don't find out about West Point before the deadlines at the beginning of january, I'll basically be applying to about 12 schools because I'm not sure exactly where else I'd want to go. And right there is my problem. I...

For a variety of reasons, I missed the deadline for the October review board. Will this signifigantly affect my chances of getting the scholarship?

So I've decided on my plan B for if I'm not accepted to West Point, and I was going to ask you guys for your opinion on it. And possibly more information if any of you have any, because I'm finding it difficult to find good information on this. But anyways, I was thinking that if I am not...

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I thought I would ask all of you for your opinions. When I look up to see the America flag, I feel lifted up. I look up to the American flag, because it represents all the ideals, hopes, and promises of our nation. I cannot bear to look at it when...

Long story short, I do not feel comfortable asking my chemistry teacher for a recommendation. I know people on here have said that a teacher would not say negative things if they knew your goal was to go to west point, but... she would. I was unable to attend SLS (or any of the other summer...

For the first time in my life, I feel as though everything I've always worked for is crashing down around my ears. Before this year (junior year), I had always taken the most challenging classes, been elected class president, lettered in sports (track, xc), etc. I got great grades. So at the...

So sats came out recently, and im pretty happy with what i've got (although i am planning on retaking them): Critical Reading- 800 Math- 740 Writing- 650 I haven't gotten feedback on my scores from college board yet, but im pretty sure my writing score would have been better if id...

So i know that, at West Point, one of the biggest challenges is time management, and that in many cases there is simply not enough time in the day to get everything done that needs to be done, making prioritization necessary. Anyways, I structured my junior year around the idea that i should be...

So I recieved the Summer Seminar acceptance letter about a week ago, and I already submitted the payment online, and am now filling out the paperwork. However, I just realized that it says I must have it mailed 2 weeks from the selection date, not from when i recieved the letter. And it was...

So i have already accepted spots at both the USMA and USAFA summer seminars (first and third session, respectively), and am hoping to go the USNA one in between. Is anyone else doing this? My reasoning is that i want to know for sure which academy/service i want to go into, but i also realize...

What exactly does USMA want in terms of letters of recommendation? Do they want teachers specifically from certain subjects, certain grades, etc? Also, how early is it generally a good idea to ask for these?

I just got the USMA letter saying I got into SLS. Not a bad way to start Christmas vacation :smile:. Who else is going, where are you from, and which session are you signing up for?

These are just a few questions I have as I'm waiting for the link to apply to SLS to appear on the website. So, first of all, does anyone know when that should happen? Also, where will it be located? And is anyone else waiting up for it to come up, or am I just out of my mind?

Basically, everything I've been reading online about grade trends says that its ok if you don't do as well your freshman year of highschool, but improve steadily in later years. However, what if you start off with two years of very good grades, and suddenly they're not so good anymore? It's not...

The west point website says that applications open in 'mid-december.' Does anyone know of a more exact date for when I can open a file? Also, is it correct that I have to wait until my second semester to actually apply to usma? Or just mid-december as well? Thanks in advance for your help!

All right, so basically, at the end of my sophomore year (last year), I felt as though I was pretty much on track for the whole west point application trail. I was just outside of the top 5% of my class, had a good PSAT score (212), was class president, and had lettered in two sports, cross...
