    Current Cadet- Ask Away

    Your major does not decide your branch. If you want to do chemistry work in the Army I'm not sure which branch would be your best bet.

    Depends on what your goals are. If you want to do an AID (Academic stuff) or Military school your summer will be a bit shorter. You also have field training and leadership details so they are usually only 3-4 weeks of time off. If you want to do a specialized miad (military school) Sapper, SERE...

    I went to a lot of the admissions events, met my FFR and Reg Rep in person. And just show you are passionate about it. A lot of people will meet the physical and academic standards but also beingdriven and passionate as well as personable will set you apart.

    Well the military training, strictness, and workload is pretty West Point specific. You just will have different focuses and daily schedules. Obviously no parties, rank structure, different classes. Different summers etc.

    I am currently a cadet at West Point. I am from a military family and had family attend USMA. Regardless, I had a ton of questions about classes, summers, daily life, and culture before I came to USMA. I would love to try to answer any question you might have as a candidate/future cadet. I would...

    Hey sauce boss, I don't know if that is you in your profile picture but this is usually an anonymous forum so if it is I would probably remove it. That being said good on you for helping future cadets. -c/o 2023 <3

    Biggest thing is network and show you want it. You’re qualified. Keep working hard in classes and stay involved with friends. I let the application consume me sometimes. Enjoy your senior year and keep working hard. Contact reps and admin events and just talk to people. Match your face with you...

    Ask a ton of questions. There is a lot of stuff here that you won’t get to see so soak up as much as possible. It’s a hectic life sometimes so try to get a feel for how you’d fit here.

    Something I’ve realized coming here is a lot of people didn’t really know what they’re getting in to and are caught off guard by the intensity as well as the change of pace and work load. If anyone has any questions about the application or cadet life please ask. The more informed you are the...

    No, he’s fine. Personal preference; I keep your stuff on private regardless to only allow people I approve in. That being said Cadre will mess with him if they see his Instagram, happens every year.
