If anyone has anything to help on my class of 2029 reapplication it would be much appreciated
 
What I have read is to talk to your AO about improvements that you need to make. And then do them. :)

I talked to my FFR, he said he didn’t see anything that made my application undeserving of even being put on the NWL and he didn’t mention anything specific needing to be improved, so that didn’t help
 
I'd reach out to your AO (Admissions Officer) for your area--probably after May 1. Maybe that person will be more helpful?

ACT is a 32 I’m retaking in June to get up to a 33/34

My DS Class of 2025 was denied twice and got in on his 3rd try. He went to Rutgers for 2 years and got A's, he took the ACT multiple times even during Covid where we drove to different states for open test sites. He got his ACT to 33 with a perfect 36 in English, and this ultimately got his point value over the finish line. Yet my older DS Class of 2017 had less impressive scores and made it on the first try due to being a recruited athlete. If you really want it you can do it with hard work. Good luck!
 
I'd consider going to a prep program, such as the Service Academy Program at Marion Military Institute. The ACT is solid, so unless it's heavily tilted toward English and away from math (was it?), I'd guess that isn't the shortcoming. Also, it's my impression that WP weighs the CFA more heavily than the other SAs do, so maybe also take a look at that. (I'm assuming it's not something more obvious like poor grades or not passing DoDMERB.)

28 math
33 science
30 English
36 reading,
CFA was passed, definitely going to be improved upon tho
 
You have to complete the CFA again, so work on improving those stats. Good on you for retaking the ACT as this can help. Whatever program you go to, regular college, prep, etc. - get A's. You have to reapply for nominations - make sure you apply to ALL that you are eligible for. Then get LOR's from the best sources. Good luck! WP loves reapplicants!!!
 
For sure check out Service Academy Program at Marion Military Institute! Give LTC Bowen a call and he will for sure give your more information about reapplying. MMI is the place to be for reapplying to West Point. Everyone has gotten in this year to USMA.

Did the opportunity to attend USMAPS ever pop up? With an ACT like that, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to go. I had a 23, could barely do 4 pullups, and did like 30 pushups. DM and I would love to talk more.
