Okay, this is what we do know for the next week as wee wait, and so far everything is in line. So just a quick review.
Good Luck!

Update on Class of 2017
• Target size for the class of 2017 is 1200 new cadets.
• We are eliminating rolling admissions. The majority of the class will receive their offers of admission on or about 26 February. Each offered candidate will have 45 days to accept or decline their offer.
• USMAPS cadet candidates will not receive their offers until after 1 May upon receipt of their April SAT scores and 3rd quarter grades. Bottom 10% of USMAPS class will be reviewed for an offer of admission no earlier than 10 May to ensure 4th quarter grades are included in the admissions file.
• The Letter of Assurance (LOA) was developed as a tool to encourage candidates to complete their files early. Most cohorts are completing their files early – and the LOA has no longer been an effective tool for managing the class. Due to the competitiveness of recent classes and the high acceptance rates, we are sending LOAs to only a small cohort of candidates – those in the areas where we struggle to achieve our Class Composition Goals.
• We will institute a Letter of Encouragement for highly competitive candidates so they can schedule an overnight visit if they wish to do so. The Letter of Encouragement (LOE) is not a conditional offer of admission, but conveys our interest to the candidates.
You must be 3Q’d, and a nomination from one of the many sources.
You must be strong in Academics, Leadership, and Athletics
Again, good luck, I know its difficult to try and compare yourself to others, but resist doing so, its not fair for you. Remember its not the best but the most well rounded and class composition.
