Yes I emailed my RC my exact schedule and he approved it. He said my schedule was fine I just need to focus on getting As and Bs. I have a Calc and composition class this semester and West Point saw I registered for them.

As a reapplicant who got a 3.8 college GPA with 18 credits at a big 10 univeristy and did Ranger Challenge in my Senior ROTC unit with ACT Scores above the mean I have to say that seeing the TWE has demolished my confidence in having an Army career

Because this is a place where high school students give secondhand advice and information to equally unqualified high school students. As a result, rumors become truth instantly. I do not mean to sound cynical, and I certainly am not blaming any specific members as I have been responsible of...

I also had Calc 1 in high school but I simply did not feel ready to take it at the college level. Other than that, our schedules are fairly similar in course rigor. Good luck to you too!

I just got back from registering for classes at the University of Minnesota and was hoping I could get some feedback about how the classes I signed up for will affect my chances at West Point. I was unsuccessful in receiving an appointment for the Class of 2018. Here are the classes I am...

This upcoming fall I will be attending the University of Minnesota and will be a part of Army ROTC. Within minutes of research I was determined to be a part of the Ranger Challenge Team. What does it take to make this team and how can I prepare? Any feedback on the Ranger Challenge is greatly...

I'm from MN-03 and I have heard nothing yet. I have nominations from Paulsen and Klobuchar and I am 3Q'd. As far as Minnesota goes, I have heard nothing about people receiving appointments, although it is more than possible that I simply do not know about them. Good luck!

Does this mean that it is possible to still be a vacancy winner who has not yet been notified and is technically on the National Waiting List?

In the 3Q letter, it states that achievements will be added to your profile through the end of February. Although I realize that much of the process is out of my hands, this weekend is the state competition for DECA (Business Club). There is a strong chance that I will qualify for international...

Thanks for all of the responses. I will join ROTC as soon as I can in the event I attend a civilian college. It is nice to know attending a different school for a year before transferring to USMA is not uncommon.

I am a senior in high school and I have been qualified for the class of 2018 with two nominations (MN-03 and MN-62). Although I realize there is still a decent chance that I will receive an appointment for next year, it is also very possible that I will not receive an appointment. Going to...

I'm from Minnesota (less competitive than VA) but I was also under the impression that MOCs would communicate with each other when giving out nominations.

I just found out that I recieved an nomination to USAFA from both a Senator and Congressman. Does receiving more than one nomination help chances for admission?

School cancellations in Minnesota pushed back availability for taking the CFA but you are absolutely right.

I am a senior in high school who is applying to West Point. My file will be completed by the end of next week. I am qualified in all categories. How much have I hurt myself by turning in my application this late?
