Yes this is why there is a difference

As an incoming C/O '25 USMA appointee, it was USMA all the way for me as opposed to the 4-year AROTC scholarship I got to my plan B school because I love the style of life and culture at West Point. Obviously that should be a big consideration for you if you want a more normal college experience...

In those almost daily emails from CPT Pyles, he mentioned this: "Mailbox assignments will be posted to your Candidate Portal home page on June 16, 2021 no later than 5:00 PM Eastern." I do not know if you have been getting these or not but that's what I got from the email update he sent for June...

I second what Jman said. Let your answers to questions be natural and free flowing. I think honesty is the key, it will not only help yourself as a person find a way to truly articulate your motivations to serve and attend USMA but also present yourself in the most accurate way as an applicant...

The average score for each event should not be your goal on the CFA. Strive to achieve at least above average in each event and max those that you may be naturally more talented in. If you pass the CFA you pass it, I don't believe there is an "oh you got a 70% and this kid got a 90%" policy but...

Sounds good this seems like the most logical solution. Thanks

I uploaded my panarex and bitewings without my social security number on the PDFs because I was unaware of any instructions asking us to do so but after reading on the forum it looks like that was required for a green check mark in the portal. I've contacted the provided USMA dental number but...

A lot has to do with the competitiveness of your Congressional district as well and the context of what appointment trends have looked like in the past from your region. If you're on this forum you're already a serious candidate who cares about their application so that's good.

I'm looking for running shoe suggestions for beast. I plan to go to my local legitimate running shoe store for this but before doing so want to see if any current cadets or fellow appointees have any insight or advice. I currently have a pair of sauconys with little ankle support so would like...

Haha 2 out of 172, representing!

Me as well

I was in your position with the SAT at the end of my junior year with Covid cancelling my other tests I had a 1270 SAT and studied using ONLY Khan Academy and youtube videos on a strict weekly schedule for 8 week and got to a 1390. It is possible to make improvement with EFFORT! Good luck.

I cannot process the fact that I actually just received an offer of admission but I am so grateful for this forum and everyone's consistent efforts to help candidates like myself make their dreams a reality. Thank you to everyone who has helped me on SAFs! AmericanFKP12 / Self / no LOA / 8...

I just logged into my portal around 20-30 minutes ago while in class and saw that I was appointed which is amazing and thank you to everyone on this forum who helped make that possible. Whether I should have done this or not I accepted the appointment right away and that loaded a new page where...
