    Early applications?

    When I was applying, the application opened sometime around June 15th (before senior year). I made sure that I had my teachers' emails to complete the SOEs and was able to start right out of the gate. I finished my West Point application by the end of June, and was done with the DoDMERB process...

    cfa @2 different summer programs

    Glasses

    when i went in for my eye exam this summer i found out i would need glasses even though i am 20/25 in my right eye and 20/30 in my left eye (with slight astigmatism). from my understanding if you have anything worse than 20/20 they WILL issue you glasses for plebe summer.

    Pre-Med at West Point

    What are the most common majors for pre-med cadets (besides life science)? Has any cadet ever majored in environmental engineering and gone to medical school straight from West Point?

    What does a MALO Interview mean for candidates?

    He contacted me. However, if you haven't been contacted by your MALO, it would probably be a good idea to seek him/her out. They can be a great resource, even if you don't have a one-on-one interview, I'm sure they would answer any questions you had over the phone. It is good to get your name...

    What does a MALO Interview mean for candidates?

    I attended SLS and had the squad leader interview too. My MALO interview was much different. It was informal but very informative. He came to my house. It was 1 1/2 hours and he asked me questions making sure I knew what I was getting myself into. He asked me about leadership in general, "Why...

    The exact same thing happened to me! My stuff was supposed to be sent June 30th and I didn't receive it. So I decided to call the DoDMERB help desk and they just told me to log into the dodmets.com site without waiting for the papers. My appointments are all scheduled now! I suggest you call the...

    Medical School after ROTC

    I was just wondering, how many cadets from ROTC go to medical school? I know at the academies there is a mandated number of people allowed to go each year to medical school. Is it the same for ROTC?

    I still haven't received my DoDMERB forms to schedule my medical examinations even though I have had everything submitted in my portal (except candidate statements, which I don't need to have turned in to get the forms) for 3 weeks now. Should I contact DoDMERB to see if something is wrong or...
