This past month I've been extremely distracted from my application process. I was pretty much just playing it by ear because there's literally no one in my area that knows ANYTHING about the whole deal. I'm the first one in my family to even consider a military academy, and I'm determined to...

check your payment confirmation letter... you know, the one you have to have to enter the academy? it should say: Dear ______, Candidate Number: XXXXXX

I'm bringing some. You never know when you might need it. Take it. aha

well, reuse was out of the picture for me.. kinda gross because, like I said... I sweat like a man as it is lol that's really sweet of them!! Or they just don't want to smell us ;)

I'm packing everything for the Summer Seminar, and I got to the undergarments. I'm not sure how much sweating goes on, but I do know that I sweat like a man (gross, I know). So... pretty much, I was trying to figure out how many sports bras I need to take with me. I feel that one per day...

khakis huh? i have a question about shoes.. do you wear running shoes the ENTIRE time? i personally HATE mine except to run in.. but i think that wearing flip-flops is waayyyy out of the question. uughhh i hate packing.

i don't think so... I know what you mean... I'm flying in and I don't want to pack TOO much because I know I'm going to come home with way more than I left with. I was under the impression that the rooms had A/C, so wouldn't that zap away the humidity?

do you know if the shorts they give us have pockets? I'm really not sure what I would be carrying around, maybe my phone and camera because I kind of feel that I would want to take pictures when I could.

oh, well.. it's alright! she booked a late evening flight. i should be okay!! hahaa except i'm going to be hanging out in the airport for like... 8 hours. probably sleeping the entire time!! NASS is going to kick the crap out of me. =)

a friend of mine who went last year told me to look for the USO area in the airport, and he said the people waiting for you are in white uniforms.. easy enough. he also said that there will be a crap load of lost looking teenagers =)

My mom is trying to book my flight home from NASS, but we can't remember the time that it's okay to leave out after. I want to say it's 5PM, but I'm not certain. I can't remember the link to the acceptance packet, either. I know that it's on there... If you know the link, pm me it please =)

I'm not sure, either. I was wondering the same thing. I have a feeling that they'll send us more information on that later in the summer, maybe?

The candidate number was on my letter I recieved confirming my payment. So, I guess it depends on if you have the confirmation letter or not.

from what I have gathered from this site, PA is a VERY competetive state. Yeah, you might be an awesome person for the academy, but the SS is generally more focussed on geography and equal representation. It sounds dumb, but it's the truth. Keep trying! If I were you, I would be calling...

I'm glad I'm not the only one freaking out! My freshman year, I got straight A's, but last year, when I added much harder classes, I made two B's (one in AP US), and I feel like I'm going to have one B this year, and I took on two AP courses this year. The one thing I HATE about GPA is that...
