If anyone would like a tour of inside Davis, I’m living there right now, too! Im free after 1300 every day so if they have some downtime I can help with anything.

Hey! My hair is pretty long, about 3/4 down my back. I wouldn't cut it too much if you like having long hair-- after a hard day, it's the BEST feeling taking your hair down and feeling how long it is (at least for me lol) At garrison, they're more strict with the loose strands around your...

It was actually a reallyyy touch decision for me. I didn't want to base my army career off of just medicine. I wanted the exposure first because who knows if I'll change my mind or not? In the end, I chose West Point because of all the things we can do here that you can't do at a civilian...

1. I received my appointment pretty late actually, if I remember the day it was April 19. I knew about all the other acceptances I received well before that, & I had back up plans ready to go. I actually received an ROTC scholarship back in December so I was set on that if I hadn't made it into...

Hey! 1. POSITIVITY!! That is literally what saved me. No matter what the cadre make you do, make it fun!! For example, you have to greet every upperclassman you see with whatever the company motto is. Just to make things a little fun, my roommate and I would scream at the top of our lungs, "BIG...

No problem! I ended with an accumulative 4.0 GPA. I took 2-3 honors/AP a year. Classes that probably looked good on an app: I took PreCalc, AP Eng, & AP physics my junior year; Calc, AP Econ, AP Gov, AP Lit, AP psych my senior year.

Hey! Any language club is for absolutely everyone!! Personally, I'm not in any language clubs, but from everything that I've heard I know that they welcome literally anyone with any knowledge of the language. I actually would recommend joining a language club because they take trip sections to...

Hi!! Honestly, if you want to join a club or team here, you just have to make time for it. Some advice I've learned here is that if you want to do something, you don't just "find" time for it, you MAKE time for it. Here, you're given the syllabi for each class & when & what is due for the...

Hey! In high school, I was a member of ASB for all four years, serving as secretary, spirit advisor, and Vice President throughout the years. I was also founder/president of a club called One Green Earth. Then, like most, I was also a member NHS. Sports wise, I played on the soccer team for...

Hey, everyone! I'm a new plebe here at West Point. I'm only just finishing my third week, but I'm here to answer any questions you have! Just to give some background, I'm from California and received a Principal Nom. Now that I'm here, I'm a new member of the Ski Patrol Team and Model Arab...

No, you don't need a physical. & you find out your classes the first day you get there. When you get your ID card that assigns you to a platoon, it will also tell you which classes you'll attend

Not at all, in my experience. There are four people from my district that were appointed, only one a recruited athlete.

Just for reference, I was accepted to USMA, denied to USNA, and received at 4 Year NROTC scholarship. So there really is so guessing how easy or difficult it is, I really think it varies

Can you please update 110 lolo to Accepted :)
