Hi everyone,
I was just wondering when I can officially start the application process for West Point. So far on my portal, it says:
** This evaluation will not begin until July 3, 2012 at the earliest for most candidates to USMA 2017.**
Does anyone else have a different date on their candidate portal? And does this statement mean I will officially be able to start my application on July 3?
Also, I had a second question regarding class rank. My school currently does not rank, so I understand West Point may ask for a class gpa percentile range; however, because my school only does unweighted gpa's, the gpa's of students are flawed b/c there is no difference in weight between an AP and a regular course. So if I take 5 ap's and get straight a's while someone else only takes regular courses and gets straight a pluses, he will have a better class rank than me. Do you know what West Point does in these instances? Thanks
