Does USMA do interviews for their candidates? My son has also applied to USNA and had his B&G interview back in October. He is board qualified there along with nominations to both Academies. I'm just wondering....

Thank you both for your information. His application is complete and his 7th semester transcript showed up on the portal yesterday. I guess it's the long waiting period now...
I have a practice interview with my school counselor, in an hour....Grave digger!
Yes, an interview is a good thing. It gives you the opportunity to ask serious questions you may have about the Academy or any other related questions. Just be sure they aren’t trivial questions that are easily answered by a quick google search.
Practice interviewing with an adult. You will be doing many, and they are all important.
The interview also gives you the opportunity to put a face with a name. Show and tell the interviewer things about you that can’t be shown in the application.
Make a great impression and it will be remembered. The same goes for bad impressions….
Yes!! It is with my FFR!!With Admissions directly? Or with your Field Force Rep? DS only had one with his FFR. This thread is really old so I don't know if having an interview with admissions is common or not. Either way, be prepared for all interviews! There are a ton coming down the pipe!
If I recall correctly, you had trouble with a few classes early in hs and therefore your GPA isn't as high as it could be. Be ready to address the why's of that. (And not, I hated biology and had an awful teacher.)
And have a really interesting story that sets you apart, something that will stick with the person who is interviewing you.
Good luck to you! Rooting for you!
I'm not sure to what extent, I should dress formally? The Representative told me we can meet at a restaurant? I was actually expecting some sort of office? Any ideas?
That is what I was aiming for... I don't think I was expecting a suit, but something similar.Dress up...regardless of the location. Wear a suit...at a minimum wear a tie. It is far better to be overdressed than under.
Believe it or not our DS bought his three piece suit on Amazon. Size chart was right on. It fit as though it had been custom tailored for him. He got more compliments on it than any thing else he has ever owned. He wore it to every interview and competition.
I believe it was $110. I will see if I can find the link. Super nice and budget friendly.
