I had a really good time and absolutely loved it. It was extremely informative and helpful in deciding whether or not USMA was the proper fit for me. The first day was the hardest - an experience similar to an incoming plebe's R-day - and the days from there on became less challenging. The friendships I made with my cadre and fellow candidates was the best part, and I foresee those connections as being beneficial in my future as I apply to USMA. The only thing I didn't like was how they treated us candidates as incompetent and immature - granted they had liability over us and were being safe, but they wouldn't even let us do simple things like heat up MREs.
Ultimately, it was a rewarding and enjoyable time. I highly recommend it to any juniors interested in USMA. If you have any specific questions or want to talk more, feel free to PM me.
