This is all excellent information, and a couple of very kind offers to help DS out, which I greatly appreciate and am thankful for. But, I just had a text-conversation with him a little while ago and he says he was able to make his own arrangements. He didn't specify what he's doing, but...

He flies out on Monday, the 20th. He doesn't have a sponsor.

Greetings, Does anyone know of any links to bus services, or any other transport services, from USNA to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) for the Christmas break? Our DS (Plebe) has never flown before and he's concerned about making his flight @ 7:45pm when his last exam...

I definitely agree, this cycle simply has to be different, and because of that the CFA score may be elevated in value toward the Whole Person Multiple (WPM). I was just suggesting to my DS that he spend a few minutes everyday throwing the B-Ball a few dozen times to try and gain five-to-ten more...

The 2015 RAND Report on WP Admissions that NJDadofDSUSMA2024Hopeful mentioned can be found here: https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR700/RR723/RAND_RR723.pdf Pay special attention to pages 9 & 10 of the report. It's been a while since I read the whole report, but from...

Does anyone know when the August 29th, 2020 SAT scores will be released. Some websites say that today (Friday, 9/11/2020) is the scheduled release date, and some say that it won't be for another ten days (Monday, 9/21/2020). I seem to remember my older DS' getting his score exactly two weeks...

There’s a lot of excellent BGO advice on this thread. My DS is home-schooled, so this SAT/ACT problem is of a much greater magnitude for him. Therefore, we absolutely, positively had to do something about it. This is how my DS and I are looking at this: The greater the effort, the more...

Greetings, Back in March a USMA Admissions Officer (LT Le) was addressing questions about Boys/Girls State cancellations and he posted the following "If you were selected but it is now cancelled, a letter from the Legion President will suffice for us. Please have it signed, dated, scanned, and...

I couldn't agree more with NavyHoops. I have a USMA Plebe DS finishing his 2nd semester on a laptop in our home, while my next DS is striving for an SA appointment for the Class of 2025. They recently cancelled his March SAT, April ACT, Varsity Track & Field, Robotics Club, Sea Cadets, and now...
