When it asks for a month and year I am requesting a nomination, what do I put down? I assume this is asking for what year I would go to an academy but I dont know what to put for the month.

Okay thank you for the responses. More than being overdressed I was worried about being underdressed, but I guess I have the jitters and being paranoid not to make a mistake.:wink:

I know this may seem a little bit nit picky but I definitely do not want to make a bad first impression. Does anyone know the dress codes for the admissions events? I was thinking of just going in with a white dress shirt and khakis as a sort of middle ground between formal and casual but don't...

I got my LOA today too! Honestly I was not completely confident that I would receive one but what a welcome surprise.

Has there been any indication of there being another LOA window sometime in the future?

It generally takes a few weeks up to a month for most schools

Yeah that makes more sense

Yeah I thought so. It makes sense I guess. Asians are only about 5% of the American population and idk the demographics for WP but if its around there then its representative of the demographics of the country(which is should be).

The way the email was worded before it made it seem as if they would start on the 1st So now it might be finished before the 1st? And are Koreans considered a minority for the academy? I know Koreans have had an increased impact in USMA over the past decade than before but Asians in general...

Your class rank number itself is important but another factor to remember is your class percentile. So while your rank itself is high your percentage may not be that great as opposed to someone who is ranked 10 in a school of over 600 students. Just another variable to take into consideration.

One thing to remember is that often you end up getting worse before you get better, especially on the pull ups. I remember that I hit a plateau of about 9 and then dipped down to about 7 before I finally hit the double digits. Keep working at it and don't be discouraged. As for the run, do...

Definitely work on the CFA, though even if you end up a bit underpar, its OK. Just keep working at it. Honestly a lot of the people end up not doing so well on the CFA at SLS but its a learning experience. Also, you don't have to like science/math but you have to at least understand it. WP is...

i think they also look at your PSAT score because they realize that some people might not have taken the SAT yet (happened to me)

i thought they told us that the first LOA window opens up in august? haha now i have to be anxious for another month

those scores should be close to the scores for passing if they arent already at SLS a lot of the people got scores near those and still didnt get flagged as at risk(except maybe the shuttle definitely improve on that) and as someone else said before the push up and sit ups you can max fairly...
