I’ve been getting frequent nosebleeds and I am planning to get my nose recauterized (I had it cauterized years ago). I was wondering if this would medically disqualify me if I got the procedure. I have accepted an offer of appointment and do not want to lose it because of this. Is this even...

The academic survey and other academic placement tests just opened up and I am on the survey right now. Does anyone have any input on when I should take my language courses. It is asking if I'd like to have my language classes moved from yearling year to plebe year, but to do so I'd have to move...

Thanks for the words of wisdom

Would my completed and verified DODMERB medical exam work for my physical required to play a spring sport? I've been trying to look it up but i'm not sure, I can't find anything about it. It is pretty much the same thing but more in depth so I feel like it should work.

I was curious on the interview process for USMA, I know that USNA and USAFA both require interviews, but from what I know USMA will ASK for a candidate to interview. I emailed my FFR about this a couple months ago, and we interviewed "by my request" as I was told, but I was asked if I ever...

Just received an email from the office of Congressman Chabot (OH District 01) informing me that I have received a nomination to both USNA and USMA. Exciting news.

It's been under review for as long as my application has been open I feel like. I kind of assumed it was under review from the get-go until they make a decision, and I don't remember when it wasn't. I started mine as soon as it opened and finished more of it before August.

I just checked my email (one minute ago at time of post), and the USMMA admissions team sent me an email regarding my status as an applicant to the class of 2027. My status has changed from "under review" to "hold candidate." Does anyone know what this means? I can't find much on what it means...

Thank you, I appreciate your help.

I just retook my CFA today (in the 35 degree slushy snow weather!); would you mind plugging these new scores in for me? New CFA scores: BB throw: 78ft (34ft farther) Pull-ups: 12 (same as last week) Shuttle run: 8.42 (0.50 seconds faster) Sit-ups: 95 (4 more/max score) Push-ups: 54 (same as...

I watched a couple more videos and have been throwing a basketball for a little bit now and I’m around 67 feet consistently. As soon as I changed my form the throw felt so much easier. Thanks for the help, will be retaking next Wednesday.

I was under the impression that it had to be overhand, like a baseball throw. It was eating me up last night, so I binged technique videos for ~2 hours and I see what you mean by the catapult technique and such. I could not see myself throwing it to the average of 69ft overhand, so finding out...

I just took my CFA for the first time, and I am happy with it for the most part, all of my events are either above average, average, or close to average, all except BB throw; I am a male and my score is well below average, but I am the starting pitcher on a state contender D1 high school...
