I received an offer of admission to the Preparatory School at West Point in today's mail! I'm so glad that I'm going to the prep so I can get back up to speed academically. What a great day...now I have to get all of the logistics worked out and the proper paperwork into the right hands since...

BigNick, thanks for the reply. I know that I'm pretty competitive, and I'm pretty confident that something good is in the works- either an offer to a prep or direct to WP. My concern is that my unit deploys to Afghanistan soon and life would be exponentially easier the earlier I get an...

I'm curious. With the new procedure of waiting until 26Feb and no rolling admissions this year, are there stacks of BFEs and TWEs sitting in the admissions office? Does one of them have my name on it? Or are they just ranking every candidate according to their WCS in their respective...

I spoke with the Major in charge of soldier admissions and he asked if I would be interested in attending USMAPS and I told him that I am very interested in that. So, the question I have is this; my SAT scores are pretty good...maybe good enough (in addition to everything else) to get an...

I am a soldier and everything is green on my portal. I am confident that my commanders endorsement is positive as is the soe by my platoon sergeant. I nearly maxed the cfa and I have read that in previous years soldier slots have gone unfilled and we are automatically considered for prep. Are...

InHoc, Thanks for your answer. I hope you are correct as the paperwork could be a challenge to get processed in a "timely manner"...It sure would be nice to know early. Good luck to you!

Congrats! I'm a 19D stationed at Fort Benning and my file is complete except for the Cfa results (which should be in soon). Is an LOA typical for prior service personnel or is it just for a select few? My AO has been very encouraging and I'm as anxious as everybody else is, so when I read your...

Nothing here either, not has the other guy from my high school heard anything or the two buddies from Boys State. Sigh.....

Come on Mr. Mailman/Admissions officer....just put me out of my misery....

You are right, of course, but your advice is VERY difficult to actually implement! This process has dominated our lives for quite a while since the entire process with all of its associated hoops is intentionally difficult in order to see who really wants to become a naval officer and who...

I just called a buddy that I went to Boys State with here in Pa, and he didnt get anything in the mail today either. Seriously, what does it mean? Anybody know?

I'm in Pennsylvania 4th district, didnt receive anything today. I am prepared for a TWE...but hoping for the BFE. I can't think about much else!

I haven't heard anything yet and from reading the posts here lots of other people haven't either. I'm triple qualified and have a nomination and my blue gold officer says I'm a pretty competitive candidate. Does it mean anything that we haven't heard yet? Does it simply mean that they...

I don't think I was in round two. Even though I gave my counselor the forms and a stamped envelope addressed to the CGA, I found out really late that my Guidance Counselor hadn't sent in his part of the application and my school transcripts, so I got him to do (or redo) it and it WAS sent in...

Objee, Thank you for the answer. I just wrote to my AO...I'm hoping that it is just that my application was completed near the deadline and therefore it is still a little premature to worry that I've not yet received a letter notifying me that the review of my file is imminent. I was glad...
