    I also agree! The more I read about USMMA and the opportunities, the more fascinating it looks! (and challenging!)

    District Appointments

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

    My DS showed appointment on portal on 3/15 and the BFE arrived on 3/18. Super fast!
