Will the academies ever give waivers to applicants if it limits their service selection upon graduation? For example, would they waive a condition that maybe cannot be considered for waiver to enter aviation but would be fine for other assignments? I understand many factors are taken into...

I was recently DQ'd for Osgood Schlatter's (resolved) and braces. I resolved the issue with Osgood Schlatter's but when I got my response back, DodMERB was asking for the orthodontic questionnaire. A form I had already turned in. I turned this back in and have been waiting ~2 weeks. If I am...

I was just snooping around my app tonight and was wondering when most people hear back from the academy. I saw the acceptance thread and it seemed like a lot of people were already admitted. Also, I was thinking, for those that have been admitted. Would you mind telling me what your application...

Hello, I wrote in one of my nomination essays that I might want to become a cyber operations officer. Can you become one through West Point? I don't want to look like I didn't do my research. I don't see it here, but I saw it on another website.

Title. Or is there somewhere that would be more appropriate to mention that I am the caretaker for my 4 younger siblings for 20+ hours a week?

It's common knowledge that AFROTC scholarships are usually awarded to people taking "technical majors" (https://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/desired-majors/). I assume this means Big Blue has a shortage of people with those degrees, but what I'd like to know is this: if somebody is looking to...

I am currently a junior in high school, with an approximate GPA of 3.6. This worries me b/c I have researched average GPA's of Midshipman and they are around 3.8. I am taking challenging IB courses and have little "padding" from classes that aren't very difficult. I am somewhere around the...

Hey everyone. I’m currently a Junior in high school and I luckily came across this page. I’ve been interested in the USAFA since I was a freshman, and I’m wondering if you guys think I’ll be able to get in? I’m aware it’s hard to say at this point, but it’s nice to have a general idea...

Good afternoon, After considering the factors going into my choice of English and Math teachers for my SOE's, I have come to the conclusion that I need an in-depth explanation to the types of questions asked by West point to those teachers. To be honest, I have damaged my relationship with one...

Hey All! I had a quick (potentially dumb) question regarding sending mail during SWAB summer. Is sending mail internationally possible from the Coast Guard Academy? Are you able to get your letter weighed before being sent out? From what I understand especially for international mailing extra...
