You’re welcome. I’m happy to help. This forum was a lifesaver for me and I’m glad to help those who were in my shoes a year ago.

I just got an appointment a couple days ago. Here’s some things that helped me and things I wished I knew before applying: -Be proactive! Get your every part of your application done as early as you can while still putting forth your highest quality work. If you’re on time, you’re late. You...

In the VP Nomination application, it has you pick the service academies you would like to attend, and it says you can pick more than one. However, should I click all three (USMA, USNA, USAFA) and write an essay that applies to all service academies or should I only click my first choice (USMA)...

I don't know about your nominating sources, but I contacted Bob Corker's office and they said that even if I send my package in early, I could update my credentials and ACT scores until the deadline. Check and see what your sources have to say about it.
