Mids also do a small write up after CVW (or so I'm told).
My CVW was a bit different since I specifically requested a plebe that went to my highschool last year and who is one of my closest friends, and to my surprise they actually paired us together. Either way, CVW was a wondrous opportunity to see what Mids do on a day to day basis, and was an ample opportunity to ask a bagillion questions.
I can't speak for NASS or Boys' State since I was denied NASS and did not attend the other, but from what I've been hearing from plebes that I know personally and from plebes that were present at the academy during my CVW, they told me it was a joke, and it was a good thing that I did not go. I have no idea why, just wanted to relay what was told to me.
Also, in regards to Boys' State, someone has told me that it offers the same amount of weight in your application as Eagle Scout. Being an Eagle Scout myself, this caused me to raise an eyebrow. Surely one or two weeks of leadership cannot be raised above half a decade of hard work and dedication?
