    Hopeful USMA Class of 2028 : a place to play the waiting game together.

    Agree - hang in there and keep the faith everyone! You’ve made it this far…and there is a reason why you are still in the fight…make sure Plan B is locked and loaded and that will take a lot of the pressure off the waiting game…

    Suggestions for boots and low quarters

    Seems like the NFS are the most popular - a bit lighter than the BIFIDA?

    Hang in there everyone! Seems like there are a lot of appointments coming out later this year than last by looking at the appointment thread - fingers crossed for everyone still pending!

    Well…after wavering in belief and resigning ourselves to alternatives…an appointment arrived about 5 minutes ago for my DS - he’ll be entering the class of 2028! A call from our FFR, our regional admissions commander and the congressional office all at the same time lol. Was both excited and...

    Hopeful USMA Class of 2028 : a place to play the waiting game together.

    Just remember that roughly 1/3rd of the class in any given year don’t come straight from high school….you’ve already got a nice strong start on your reapplication getting this far for 2028…so lean in to the next year hard with grades and enjoy the rollercoaster for class of 2029 if WP is really...

    Seems like cruel and unusual punishment to send the NWL letter today and then the TWE this/next week - but if that’s the reality, he’ll have a great year while gearing up for class of 2029 application. Good luck to all still on the treadmill and thanks for all the support - what a great forum.

    Also just received a Candidate File Qualified notice this morning (NWL notice). Seems late in the game to be getting that since his app was done in July last year…at this late stage of the game, grasping for any and all signs…portal took 4.3 secs to update instead of 3.6…a font size changed…had...

    Hopeful USMA Class of 2028 : a place to play the waiting game together.

    Anyone still in the hunt? DS portal just had the Withdraw Application option disappear - likely just due to getting close to May 1st I’m guessing, but anyone also have this happen today?

    Best sports to do to get into West point?

    Putting my vote in here for rugby - Army, Navy and Air Force all have top ten ranked rugby teams in the D1 category - it’s a bit on the fringe for us Americans, but that much more interesting if you like and excel as the talent/option pool is pretty small for these big D1 rugby schools…they...

    USMA Class of 2028 Appointment List - Self-Updating

    FWIW - in the 2027 Appointment thread, about 20 of the 127 appointments still show as Undecided…so I think it’s fair to assume there will be a percentage of the stack that we never really know where they landed on accept/decline. Best of luck to all still in the fight! Never over until it’s over...
