    Same here. What is the difference between reporting earlier and later besides time? I mean, what do the people that report earlier do with their extra time?

    Validation Tests During Beast

    That is what I was talking about though - the whole "can be important when validating". It doesn't say is required. Anyways, is there any downside to not validating and just starting from Cal 1 for an ME major?

    Validation Tests During Beast

    Maybe I read it wrong. The website clearly states you should have a 4 or 5 in most things for validation, but it says it is "important" not "required". I was wondering if they took multiple things into account for validation or what?

    Validation Tests During Beast

    Can anybody provide insight as to how the validation is at USMA for Calculus, Literature, English, and History? usma.edu just says it is "important to score a 4 or a 5" to validate classes. But, BigBear validated with a 2…. Anybody understand or can explain the process?

    How often is it appropriate to contact my admissions officer?

    You won't necessarily effect your application, but you don't need to email them every single day. Ask them every once in a while how things are coming along. They like interacting with kids, but you don't want to be that person that they dread dealing with. Learn patience now, because you will...

    Chances of admission after not being selected for SLE?

    Take it from someone who just went through the process - SLE does not matter in the overall application. In fact, I don't even know if it goes on your application at all during your actual processing. Last year (when I applied for SLE), they limited the sessions from 2 down to 1 due to the...

    Nominations

    Primary nomination (or something like that), or the Primary Vacancy winner for your MOC's slate (both are the same thing essentially) is the #1 spot: Your MOC can choose to select one candidate he or she deems fit for the slot, and since each MOC gets at least 1 (depending on circumstances)...

    Nominations

    Simple answer. Yes. More nominations = more pools you can be put into. No nomination = no appointment. USMA can only take so many of each type of nomination, and they often move nomination appointment types around to better select who they want. If you have A pres., congressional, and two...

    Wrestling and Football

    That is a good sign. I'd just say keep it all up. Do your best to raise your grades. Focus on maintaining your strong points, and work on making your weak points better. Good luck!
