    ACT Writing Superstore Rules

    Pretty sure they'll superscore everything even if you don't take writing the first time. And if they don't, they'll see you did well on the one test even though you didn't take writing. They'll still accept the score, they just want you to take the writing part at least once.

    What use are AP exams for an incoming plebe?

    Yup, you can validate courses. But don't scoff at that. Unlike a lot of colleges, West Point won't just give you a free period - you have to take the courses they tell you to. And unlike other colleges, you don't have to pay for the courses. So if you validate out, you can get dual majors and...

    New and wanting advice

    Not really sure about the green check deal....there's two "scales" to the CFA if I'm not mistaken, though. One is passing all the minimums, and the other is getting high enough cumulatives. For example, you could theoretically get past all the unpublished minimums, but if you aren't above a...

    SLE Question

    If you really want, bring the suit. I never did communal showers before either, but honestly, it's not as bad as you think. Just go in, do your business, and go out, I promise you, it'll be fine. If you're serious about USMA, you gotta be able to practice getting out of your comfort zone. As...

    New and wanting advice

    By noncommittal, you mean the LOE? That's good, it's not a 3Q but it's a good sign you're gonna get there, pretty much means go ahead and complete your app, you most likely won't be disappointed. As for seeing if you passed, you're sure fire if you're at or above all the averages on the website...

    SLE Question

    I remember swimming at NASS. I don't think there was any swimming at SLE; I don't even remember having had to pack one. Maybe they are saying bring one because the showers are communal, but we didn't really care about that... Don't worry though, they won't make you do anything in the sense that...

    In complete disbelief...

    Don't get down. You can be offered an appointment off of the wait list from now till the day before R day; and yes, like you said, if people drop out, if someone declines, etc. you can be offered an appointment. If it doesn't work out, go to college for a year, and apply again next year. And the...

    CBT Prep 2022

    Yea I second the bugle notes stuff. I'd just try to at least make a dent in some of the longer things. It's kind of useless to try to not get yelled at by memorizing everything, because you're gonna get yelled at no matter what. Just maybe takes some stress off. Rank and insignia's good, because...

    SLE application

    This happened to me last year, too. I trolled the site cuz I wanted to apply so badly, hah, and it turned it out opened a day early for some reason. Anyways, I had completed it, never got any info from them. The site is very unstable, it'll time out, sometimes stuff won't go through, sometimes...

    No class rank

    Ok. Yes, you do not need class rank. But I would push a little bit (don't be like offensive about it obviously ;) ) but push a bit and see if they have a rank. My school claimed they didn't class rank and lo and behold they actually did they just don't like telling people that (cuz I guess...

    SLE 2018

    Did you take any tests before? Like PSAT or something like that? You can always put those in for now and then switch them later. I think that the app closes in March or April if I remember correctly. Obviously, if you apply the first day, you'll hear back faster, because everything at West...

    What Programs/Extracurriculars Can I do to make my application stand out?

    ROTC is the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Basically, as you go through a regular civilian college, you can also train to become an officer and earn a commission upon graduation. There are many ways to participate in this program. Obviously, you first have to find a civilian college that has a...

    What Programs/Extracurriculars Can I do to make my application stand out?

    Yea I agree with Dadx4 on the premed part. Apparently ROTC or VMI or something like that is better for premed cuz West Point's program is very competitive and hard to get. As far as your resume, there's three categories for the West Point app's resume side - athletic, leadership, and academic...
