    running

    It's probably a matter of preference, but I think running at a constant speed is best for the mile. Then, maybe sprint towards the end to save a handful of seconds. I did the CFA during summer seminar and ran a 5:32 mile. I took it a little slow at the beginning which I wasn't able to make up...

    Questions for Appointees

    For me, it was a big yellowish tan envelope, but the letter of appointment was in a heavy blue mini-folder type container with cardboard interior.

    Plebe Year classes

    What is "placement and validation testing" during summer? Is it just a wide range of exams testing abilities in various topics? also, what is the process for validating courses with AP Credits? I know a 4 or 5 typically allows you to validate a class, but do you also need to take a validation...

    Midyear/Semester Grades

    I received an LOA with only the "nomination" box checked, so should I be looking to submit my midyear report sometime soon? and if so, is it done by mail only? Thanks ps I have not heard back from nomination sources yet, so I don't have an appointment

    Individual Sports

    also, I talked to my BGO about this, and he said that they are looking for "smart students who are fit" so he didn't think it was anything to worry about.

    Individual Sports
