Just to update you guys - my MALO hosted a "meet-future-cadets" night for those in my Congressional District who had files open for West Point (juniors only).
At the meeting at my MALO's house were 4 seniors from my District (#10) who were admitted to USMA this year.
So maybe they haven't gotten to your districts yet or something.
I'm from IL-19 and I didn't get in because there were so many candidates that got in last year (5 from my district and 3 from my school alone) and there are 3 more kids from my district going this year. I know a kid who got a 35 on his ACT and didn't get in, but a kid who is pretty good at football did... I hope you have better luck than i did. But I am reapplying!
recommend trying to contact your MALO/FFR get an idea how competitive your Congressional district is.
Stats for Illinois will be similiar to the class profile - it will something along the line of 630+ on math and critical reasoning on SAT, good leadership, and varisty sports.
You really compete against candidates within your nomination category, mainly your Congressional district.
