    COVID R-DAY

    I am assuming that you will be quarantined as the new cadets who tested positive last year were. And if you do test positive, USMA will find a way to make sure you do not miss out on training.

    Working out at Westpoint

    As a plebe white space during the academic day for a workout will most likely be too small. I usually see plebes working out in the evening. This past Academic Year, there were beaverfits/connexes outside of every barracks; however, I am unsure if this will remain the same now that Arvin seems...

    Best Boots for Beast

    I’m breaking my Garmont’s in right now, they feel nice and supportive. I went with them after looking at tons of reviews online.

    Hometown Friend

    A friend of mine that I’ve known for 8 years got appointed to USMAPS, we went to different high schools not to far from each other but still keep in touch. Is it possible for us to connect after CBT or would I have to wait another year until they come to USMA? It would be nice to have a familiar...

    USMA is most likely getting ready to send out another mass wave of appointments and 3Q letters.

    The Waiver process and Waiting Advice

    Was DQ’d for history of FAI. In reality, my pediatrician jumped the gun. After visiting two separate orthopedists, they determined that I never had FAI and they could not see any signs of it through imagery. I wrote two personal statements and sent them in along with the reports from the ortho...

    Should I even try to apply?

    Yes, apply. The academies look at the whole person not just a number.

    The Waiver process and Waiting Advice

    Just found out that my waiver was granted and that I am now medically qualified. This was the last thing that I needed to be "3Q". I admit that I was caught off guard when I saw the good news. Guess I had become used to opening the portal every week and seeing "Waiver requested". For any future...

    NROTC Navy Results

    Personally, I have not. Can’t speak for others. I submitted back in late Nov, early December and status still shows as board ready. Pretty sure they will be meeting soon though. Good luck to you, I also received an AROTC scholarship.

    Waiver appeal process at USMA

    Hi, this would probably be something you would want to discuss with your admission officer. Waiver appeals are rare but the fact that you want to appeal says a lot about your character. Contact your representative and find out. Good luck!

    Proactive or be patient and wait

    In my case, I’ve been pretty proactive hoping for the best. It’s been about a month and the USMA waiver authority has not requested any info at all. I’ve sent all documents supporting the waiver at my own will. I know someone posted on here a while back talking about how they were proactive and...

    Status shows Remedial, but now date changed???

    Same happened with me, I had a DQ code back in December and the date changed to 01/06/19. Pending submission of Waiver request for USMA. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about seeing that USMA has already submitted a waiver request. As long as you don’t see a DQ or Waiver Denied code you shouldn’t...
