Nope, have three sons. That was my eldest's path. Just inquiring about some options for my youngest.

DS decided that USMA isn't for me and that Army isn't a career path I'd want to take anymore. Was wondering if there were any suggestions or opportunities he could take. Law is a passion of his.

Wondering if any former TACS, old grads or cadets know if you can intern with a company after your plebe year. Studying American Politics. Have previous college experience in political science, and would love to get off to a great start with the advantages West Point offers.

Needed advice for the following: after taking a year off from college to decide, DD had ROTC scholarship voided. She then re-applied and received a 3 YR again. Is it possible for her to contract this year as she already had MS1 and freshman credits?

You are my son's worst nightmare, he was all in on West Point and regretfully sobs to us every day about how he wishes he could turn back the hands of time and choose ROTC again. I can only try and console him as he feels as if he has no path in life.

My DS had a 3 YR AROTC scholarship, and last year he was diligent in applying to West Point and got into the Prep School while in his freshman year ready to contract the following year. He's at the Prep School and tried to find the pros and cons of West Point and wants to finish one year of West...

There have been rumblings here at Prep that Dr. Jebb, the husband of BG Jebb, has told R-Day might be pushed back to the 7th of July due to COVID and the state of the virus. That also doesn't make sense for R-Day to run Saturday- Monday rather more Monday- Wednesday. Hopefully, look for that to...

I've been scouring the forums, but haven't been able to find my question: what is the number of accepted cadets versus the number that actually complete the application. I know around 12,000 apply, 2400 are nominated, but unsure of the amount that complete an application and are accepted.

Current day.

By 2050, over 40% of the United States will be Hispanic. If a candidate that is below the average on his SAT for USAFA, does he have a better chance than say a caucasian candidate? It would make sense because all of the services need to recruit so that the branch represents the United States as...

Inquiring what district you're from in CO. I'm from 7, and wondering if you won your slate.

Coming from a very competitive district, candidate is inquiring what happens if you don't win your district. His only nomination is his Congressman's nomination.

Currently have a candidate that it enlisted: once the Commander, 1SGT, and other officer submit their evaluations does USAFA contact the evaluators again to talk about their evaluations and confirm them or is their application complete?

So that would mean JAN 29th then correct?

The portal states a due date of JAN 15 for forms due today, but when are the evaluator forms due or the hard cut off date?
