I am looking for some insight from Soldier applicants who gained direct admission to USMA. Some background: I had an unimpressive ACT score (28), HS GPA and class rank (3.4, probably around the 50 percentile class rank). Enlisted in the Army NG, flipped the switch and started crushing my college courses. Two years of engineering coursework with a 4.0, tons of extra curriculars, treasurer of honor society, etc. Also participated in a NASA Aerospace education and research program. Also, I am a Sergeant in a Cavalry unit and received the Leadership Award at BLC in my class of 168 Soldiers. I am worried about the possibility of getting a USMAPS offer instead of direct admission. Does anyone know how my credentials hold up against the other Soldiers?
Also, if any prior enlisted WP cadets are reading this right now, some insight on cadet life would be awesome. What was it like to go from enlisted to cadet life with the majority of the class being younger, what is going well and what isn't, etc. ANY guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
