Re-Applying:
The 2 things that matter more than anything else when re-applying are:
1) your college grades
2) Improving SAT/ACT scores
What to do:
- Take Calculus, History, Chemistry W/Lab and English
- Earn A's
- Retake and improve SAT/ACT scores
- Get 2 SOEs from college profs (get to know them!)
- Send in your 1st semester transcript as soon as it is available. WP will not evaluate your file until they receive your college transcript
- Consider AROTC
- Complete file early (except for the college 1st semester transcript).
- Apply to all nominations that you are qualified for
- Prepare for and re-take the CFA
- DoDMERB exam is good for 2 years unless there is a change in your medical status
Remember:
- you are building on your high school file - not starting over
- many cadets in each class were not direct admits - most did something between high school and WP (USMAPS, Civil Prep, college, enlisted)
- show improvement in your file or you may get the same outcome as last year
