    So what did I miss?

    Well, Sir, my SAT score is XXXX, class rank is XX out of XX and my extracurriculars are A, B, and C. Will I get into West Point?

    Running for Beast

    Unless you're running 30+ miles a week, your strength probably won't be limited. Just make sure to maintain what strength you do already have. So, for example, go for a run in the morning and then follow it up with a set of pushups, and then do another couple sets of pushups and pullups...

    Track/CC recruiting

    I'm a recruited xc/track runner, so if you have any specific questions, PM me. Although it's questionable as to whether or not I'll be running cross country for the team or if I'll just stick with the mid distance guys, since I'm more of a miler. I started the process by filling out the...

    Class of 2015 IPad

    Any rumors stating that the iPad will replace new cadets' laptops are most likely false. The iPad is just not ready to handle the functions of a typical laptop. The system in place, used by the government and the military, is Windows-dependent. This is because of the programs that need to be...

    Cross Commission

    Not always a bad thing. At 17 and 18, we don't always know what we really want, or what's really best for us, but 4 years down the road we should have a better idea.

    NCAA Clearinghouse

    It isn't imperative that you do it immediately, but it is a good idea to get it done as soon as you can. You're going to have to eventually. In order to compete on any DI team (Navy and Army corps squads are all DI, I believe) you will have to be cleared by the NCAA. There are academic...

    Playing spring sports?

    Keep in mind that you do want to be in at least halfway decent shape come R-day. If a spring sport is the only thing that's going to motivate you to keep active, the benefits probably outweigh the risks.

    Beast Mileage

    Even if they were allowed, I would not recommend them for beast. In theory, yes, barefoot running is healthier and lends itself to more efficient biomechanics. No one really argues that anymore. However, the reason why you don't see the majority of runners (myself included) using them...

    New Jersey Noms?

    Received a nom to USMA from Congressman Rothman NJ-09, as did another classmate. One other classmate received on to USNA, same district. SO NJ-09 should have all been announced today.

    Questions Thread

    Out of curiosity, what is the excused absence class policy at West Point? Under what circumstances are you required/admitted to miss class, and what happens from there? How hard is it to get caught up on the work once you've missed it? I'd expect things like athletic competition to be on...

    Validating

    Yes, I'm very interested in an engineering degree, probably ee/cs.

    Validating

    While I am interested in all aspects of West Point, my strengths are academic, so based on your advice it would make sense to try to validate, correct? Thank you.
