The service academies LOVE to see Boys/Girls state on ur application!

One of you go with him. It meant a great deal to me to have my parents “drop me off at college”. I was so nervous and they did all the details so I could just mentally prepare. My parents were very glad to have gone. We spent the day before just driving around to see the area. If money allows...

U will kill yourself trying to figure out the details with covid. Stop for ur sanity. Start planning in May for Rday—- way too many moving parts

I got LOA to USNA, USMA and USAFA Chose USMA . 2024

Get a job. You will have time since you have less school commitments. All of the academy interviews asked a lot of questions about my DS’s job.

My friend who is a 2023 said that he wore gold toe athletic black socks for exercise AND with low quarters. He did not buy any white ones because USMA gives them to us. I got my 10 pairs of gold toe black ones on amazon for fairly cheap . Hopefully he is right!

My mom would be happy with the packing list for R day!!

Thanks so much. I did not even think of that!!! Car, yes! Appreciate it.

Help me understand as a 2024 plebe what “big loans” I will have in next 9 years? A previous responder said one does not have to pay “tuition” back if I die. Thx for your help.

Sorry— I looked everywhere for a current thread! I guess I should have started a new one! Rookie error!

This is an older thread but could not find anything more recent. Theoretically, if I die while at academy in my third or fourth, do my parents need to pay the tuition back? Trying to determine whether the life insurance policy is reasonable. Thank u.

I’m ASSUMING it will be June 28th

By chance, Is AP Gov one of those? I’m considering only taking this AP test of my 5. Thx.

#9 switched to ACCEPTED!
