Can all cadets choose to wear civilian formal attire to Yearling Winter Weekend banquet? I have heard of women wearing evening gowns instead of full dress; can men wear tuxes instead as well?

I used this forum a lot during my high school years while I was applying and it was very helpful so I thought I would post since I’ve reached a point where I need advice yet again. I am a current Plebe who has really been wanting to leave lately. At first it was great here. I was meeting a lot...

Is a candidate choosing to voluntarily see a therapist for a short period of time considered an issue that will need a medical waiver of some kind in the admissions process?

Yes, all the colleges approved for civil prep leave spots reserved specifically for scholars. However, I had already applied to Marion Military Institute months before I received the appointment and was going to attend there if I wasn’t appointed to the class of 2024 this year. I’m not sure what...

I’m assuming I will need to apply for a nomination again. Is that correct?

I checked my portal today and saw I received a Civil Prep Appointment. I have already been accepted to Marion Military Institute, so I will be attending there this fall. I have a few questions about this, but have tried to read on the subject as much as I can. Should I retake the SAT while I am...

I got my 3Q letter a while back and have not received anything since.

I have been accepted for self prep at MMI, but I am still waiting on a possible appointment to USMA.

I recently found someone in my district who was offered an appointment and accepted, so I clearly didn’t win my congressional slate, which is the only nomination I received. I haven’t gotten the TWE as of now and I’m slightly surprised. I suppose my file hasn’t reached the committee yet. I’m...

Thank you for your advice. I emailed him to inquire about it and he seemed to appreciate my initiative. At some point a month or so from now if I’m still not offered an appointment, should I ask him what my chances are?

I am very anxious as I’m sure many other people are and I wanted to ask this forum before I emailed my Regional Commander. Would it be permissible for me to tell my RC that if I am not offered an appointment I would be interested in the AOG scholarship? I have already been accepted to Marion...

On the Candidate Portal it is stated that during high peak times it may take up to 60 days for a person’s file to reach the committee. I wasn’t offered an appointment last night either, so this is what I’m telling myself. I also did not have everything completed and marked green until January...

Would it be permissible for me to email my Regional Commander and ask if I am officially qualified? I haven’t received a letter, but I did just add my transcript on Wednesday, so I’m not expecting one any time soon. Everything on my portal is green and I’m medically qualified with a nom. I...

If my seventh semester transcript was just added to my file today and it is completed along with everything else, is it possible for them to review my application as soon as tomorrow?

I emailed admissions for my area and they said the videos were accepted. Thank you everyone for the helpful insight!
