    Contact Sport Senior Year?

    Do whatever you feel makes the most sense for you. Our DS (class of 2027 at USMA) chose not to play his spring sport because he didn’t want to risk injury. His coach was very supportive. Coincidentally a friend of his tore his ACL last spring at practice and couldn’t report to R day. Only you...

    National Waiting List

    Just reading everyone’s posts brings me back to this point last year. Our DS was put on the NWL the minute his medical finally cleared last January 2023 and received his appointment 5 days later. So it really is a “holding pattern” pattern. Now he is a plebe for class of 2027. Things will work...

    USMAPS 2025 vs USMA 2028?

    Would she consider taking the SAT again to be more competitive? Our son took it multiple times (current 2027 new cadet) Our advisor says he needed a 1400 or higher. He took it well into the fall and kept updating his portal with his new score, then received an appointment with his highest scores.

    SAT Score

    While that is a solid score, I would suggest taking it again. In a competitive district you most likely need higher than that score, unfortunately.

    Dates for A day and R day 2023

    After A day how far away are cadets allowed to go? We live about 60 miles away- could ours come home for the day after A day, then back to West Point for the evening?

    SLE

    Completely agree. And in some parts of the country ( here in the Northeast) kids are still in school during SLE. Our DS was not offered a spot last year, but in hindsight it was a blessing because he would have missed class right before finals, and he needed strong grades to secure an appointment!

    More info on SLE

    My DS was not offered a spot in SLE last year as a junior, but was offered an appointment to USMA for the class of 2027 from a very competitive district, so no need to be discouraged! Not getting into SLE isn’t a deal breaker! 😀

    SLE Application Email Not Recieved

    My DS was not selected for SLE last year, but did receive and accept an appointment to USMA for the class of 2027 from a very competitive district. So if you aren’t selected for SLE not to worry! :)
