"Returning Cadet" process???

ArmyStrong7 · Jan 23, 2013

Hi everyone! I am hoping that at least 1 person is able to answer my question. So, if anyone has read my posts on other threads, you know that I am a part of the group of CCs in the USMAPS class of 2012 who did not receive an admission last year. Now that I am reapplying West Point has told me that they put me under the "Returning Cadets" group. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how that process goes? Is it different or about the same as a regular direct? I know that I got to complete less tasks than a regular admit and CC. I guess the only reason I'm questioning this now is because it's getting closer to the deadline. I tried asking my Admissions Officer, but he only responds to emails with something attached to them. I tried my regional Officer, but he had no clue of how it goes since he just got put on board in September. Anything would be appreciated! Thank you.

Hi,
please contact MAJ O'Hern in the USMA admissions office. He is the admissions officer for returning cadets.

By returning cadet...does it mean those that are reapplying?

I did, he's never gotten back to me about it.

No, it means those who are returning to the Academy. They could have left or gotten kicked out or something else, but decided to come back for some reason.
