I just had to share our story. I have a daughter in class of 2015 and my father, brother, sister, and brother in law are all grads. My son applied to WP this year and we knew he would on the bubble. Back in March, our local Liaison was told that my son was getting an appointment. Even...

Crickets It's been like crickets chirping on this acceptance thread for 3 weeks! I know admissions committee didn't meet week of 11th due to spring break, but nothing for 2 weeks beyond that...seems there are very few if any acceptances that have gone out since week of March 4th since none...

Back in Action With Spring Break being last week, the admissions committee didn't meet and all has been quiet on the Acceptance thread! They should be back in action for the Tuesday meeting this afternoon and more good news will be coming on this thread in the coming days! Good luck to all...

I know things have changed this year with the entire admissions process. In past years, appointees had until May to send in their acceptance. Can someone please share the instructions with this year's Appointment BFE?? Is there a specific date that acceptance has to be returned or a length of...

Clarksonarmy: thanks for all the helpful info....have been browsing the internet for weeks looking for info relating to ROTC and Athletics, and not only is yours the MOST helpful, it's the most applicable since my son is very interested in SLU (clarkson on the list too!). I presume you must be...

We have USAA and they said it was OK to drop our Plebe because it's not the normal "kid going off to college"....they are financially independent and will be home for an extremely limited period from now on. Of course they will be covered on the rare occasions they are home to drive just as...

Yay! I'm in too!

When/How did you find out you were accepted? That was quick

From what I've been told, this $500 just comes out of cadet account anyway....some cadets say they were just issued all this stuff on R-day and don't even remember having a choice.

Well, for one, Army crushed Navy in Lax yesterday...got to see it on TV!! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I have read everything both on the form and packet instructions. It seems quite clear to me that the dental exam is now optional. However, as with so much of this process, information can sometimes be ambiguous and contradictory so the reason for my post was simply to make sure I was...

The way i read the Dental form, it was suggested you get a dental exam but optional? Can anyone else weigh in on this?

As we all can see, the LOA's are given to the 'exceptional' candidates...probably the top 10 percent of an already ridiculously competitive group of applicants. Some are definitely also used for minorities and athletes. Getting everything in early is key, but if you don't have the goods, it...

My daughter received an appointment to West Point in January. We are thrilled and we feel very lucky as the competition for admission to West Point is as tough as it gets. We are from Maine and even though her resume is extremely strong in all aspects, she would likely not have been admitted...

THanks Jake!!
