Not true. I know countless people who maintain personal devices (iPads, Macbooks, etc.)--all of which are capable of connecting to the USMA network (the WREN). However, DrMom is correct in saying that your issued laptop will be your tool for using websites, databases, etc. that require the use...

BEFORE BEAST: DO NOT GET HURT. If you seriously hurt yourself before R day--torn ACL, a broken bone, etc.--you will not have time to heal before 27 June, and West Point will undoubtedly revoke your appointment for this year's class. Trust me, you do not want to spend a year at civilian school or...

As stated before, NO. Both of these teams require a tremendous amount of energy, time, and commitment. They are the elites of West Point in their respective areas.

Would love to know the answer to this as well. "WishfulThinking" is most likely saying her final goodbyes to family/friends as R-Day is just a couple days away, but I'm sure someone else on this forum could answer this question.

Bad wording on my part. I was referring to the coaches of sports you are involved in. I wouldn’t expect a swimming athlete to contact Coach Monken.

As you will see from numerous “what are my chances?” Threads on this forum, there is no one here who can give you the answer you’re looking for. What I will add to that is - it looks like you have a solid academic background, leadership roles, and extra curricular’s. All you can do at this...

Did you receive your appointment for the class of '25 yet? If not, when do you expect to hear that news?

When did you all receive the notification in your portal? My FFR‘s portal showed “offered” for me on 3/26, but nothing in mine as of yet.
