Hello! Sorry I missed these messages originally. My plan when I left was to switch schools and pursue a possible graduate degree, and that plan has worked out so far! I ended up transferring to a private school because it seemed like a better fit. And I don't regret the move, but there are...

Hi, So I just left USMA a few weeks back, considering all those seemingly considering outprocessing, especially those not yet at affirmation, I thought this might help someone somewhere down the line. Since freshman year, USMA was #1 on my list. It was my dream, and I was tremendously proud of...

no graphing calculator needed. You’ll have a program on your computer for it if needed, and won’t be able to use a graphing calculator in any class plebe year insofar as i know

I was above the weight standard on scale alone by a couple pounds, if there are no problems with PT and you pass the tape test you won’t have any problems. If you start to slip, there are programs in place to get you back on track. For now, do what you can but focus more on being fit physically...

It varies year to year. I come from around there, and to my knowledge, all have a large number, with USNA getting more on average, but no way to be sure unless you’re an FFR there

The submission grappling teams are coed, but you only compete within your gender in the actual tournaments, if that helps explain it. You should have no trouble getting on it though!

I really appreciate your concern and I wanted to say I’m fine, these are just decisions, and I am in no way unsafe. This is great advice

Thanks all of you for your advice! I really appreciate it! I do not plan on leaving until I’ve finished at least one academic year, and I fully intend on having a solid backup plan if I do. I can promise my reasons aren’t based on anything temporary or anything like that. I’m in TEE mode right...

Hi, I'm a plebe considering outprocessing for personal reasons. I apologize for coming here with this, but if anyone has experience applying elsewhere from USMA it would be a great help. Is the application process, which asks for recommendations by professors and college reports, something I can...

The specific hours may not be counted in the application, because the overall verification (in my experience) is with the school counselor who verifies your Activities Record. Mine asked for some additional documents because they weren't familiar with some of my volunteer work but it seemed...

Great advice above! I joined track my second year of high school, helped out a ton in terms of extracurriculars and fitness. And I can attest to the bit about running before season starts, plenty of kids get shin splints/leg problems every year because they jump right in. Go incrementally, don't...

All it says is they can’t offer you admission but can reconsider the application in Regular Decision if you want, if you email them by a certain date. Nothing of note other than that
