I would not be extremely worried about how many cadets are currently at the academy from your district because that is out of your control. My congressional district had 2 open slots, 14 nominations were given, and 9 ended up accepting appointments. Only 2 of those 9 will be charged to my...

Correction. The document is in the 4th admissible titled “AARS First Message 1 May 2023”

The 3rd admissible contains a document that addresses this subject. The document has a link that will forward you to Canvas where you’ll find out what placement tests are Mandatory and what are optional. Hope this helps

At the end of the day, it’s all about your confidence in your score. If you feel confident that you will win your slate with a 30 then a 30 is fine. But if there is even a shred of doubt that you may not win the slate, take the act again. Taking the act again will not hurt your chances or the...

Just spitballing here but I would consider creating a bubble map with military service being your main idea and the different reasons of why you want to serve branching off from that. My first essay started off very similar to yours in that it was robotic. The congressional office wants to know...

From what I understand, I can’t report to R-day with any injuries which would include but is not limited to broken bones and what not. My thought process was going along the lines of it I somehow get injured in the weeks/months leading up to R-day and cannot therefore show up, if I can still...

All I would like to add is that my congressional district currently has at least 7 appointments given out so far (for USMA). As long as you have a nom then you are in contention for an appointment. No point stressing over something that is outside your control.

Earned a 4 year to Texas A&M and Virginia Tech! I have already accepted my appointment to West Point though. Does anyone know if I’m allowed to still accept the scholarship in case of injury and then rescind after R-day?

Your candidate questionnaire serves as your application to SLE. Since you have submitted that you are all good.

I got accepted to TAMU in mid-December. Their admissions process is based off of rolling admissions so first come first serve. They also look at applicants based on their class quartile so lower quartile applicants may have to wait longer to hear back because it takes longer for their packet to...

USMA 2027

Status was changed to boarded as well. Now’s the waiting game.

Thank you so much for adding this. I suspected this would be the case since I had already been told by Cadet Command that my application was fully completed but hearing a similar story from someone else has helped to alleviate any stress that may have been there.

Seems like a positive sign for those who weren’t a part of the 1st board. Congrats on being boarded. Now’s just the waiting game.

I didn’t participate in the first board. Don’t know about the other who still have “board ready” but until proven wrong it sounds like a decent theory.
