    Showup time for SLE

    Mock R-Day is the first couple hours that you're there, although it isn't bad at all. They do provide lunch, and while earlier is always better than later, the time you arrive doesn't make a big difference. If you want to get there when things are in full swing, try for between 1130 and 1300.

    Nomination Question

    Update: I now have a nomination from both MA61 and MA62, but I was talking to another applicant from another district at a track meet, and he said that he also had a nomination from both Senators show up on his portal. A friend of his also had that happen. It could just be a coincidence that all...

    Thanks for the information. I guess we wait until the letters arrive. Does anyone know which Senator uses which code?

    Nomination Question

    Yesterday, I got a call from my Congresswoman's Office notifying me of my nomination. However, when I went to my portal to confirm that the nomination went through, I read two nomination notifications under the "nominations" bar. The first nomination's code was "MA05", which is my congressional...

    DODMERB Waivers

    I received a medical exam a little over a month ago, and just got a letter saying the I would need to receive a medical waiver for an IT band problem that I developed two years ago while running track.

    I have submitted everything to Admissions, have had an interview with my Representative, and am now in the nerve-wracking waiting period.

    Questions About SLE

    I'm off to SLE at the end of this week, and have a couple of last-minute questions: Firstly, I heard that candidates are evaluated at SLE. Is this true? If so, are they evaluating for leadership, fitness, academic skill, "huah", or all of the above? If they are grading for this "Huah" (Hooah?)...

    Leadership

    I'm really starting to regret not joining the Boy Scouts when I was younger, as now I'm set back on the leadership portion of the application as I can't become an Eagle Scout. Is there a particular point value given to each leadership activity that you do? My current activities that could score...

    Two Questions (GPA and SLE)

    Firstly, do I have the opportunity to update my application to SLE after I have submitted it? I have taken the PSATs (have the scores for this), and took the SATs in January (I don't have the scores yet), and believe that my SAT scores will be higher. I've been waiting for my SAT scores to come...

    SLE Conflict

    This June, in my state, the week of Boy's State is the same as one of the weeks of the SLE. I'm applying to both, and is there a way to make sure that I am able to go to both if I'm accepted?

    Updating Nomination Info

    If I were to apply for a Congressional Nomination now (I am a Junior), and send in the completed letter, would I be able to somehow update that application if I was given a leadership position or some other honor after I had already sent in the letter? If so, how? Would I simply send in another...
