To continue this thread further, my application deadline was November 3rd if I can remember correctly. Recently I saw a post about how the Air Force Academy does appointments by staggered deadlines… So if I haven't heard by now given my deadline a few months ago, is there something wrong? My...

I sincerely apologize if this has already been said and I skipped over it, but will USMA begin to send out more appointments/waves of appointments each week? Thank you.

Yes, I am technically a recruited athlete (I think), and I also receive occasional emails from the Director of admissions for recruited athletes, however, the coach is not able to help me get in. That being said, I talked to my FFR/RC in person once and they both said they could only help me...

That is what I would like to know! My RC doesn't respond very often, and my FFR doesn't either because I was kind of recruited and kind of not haha....anyway...I don't know if I won a nomination slate!

Is it correct that a candidate cannot receive an appointment in this wave if they did not receive a 3Q letter (even though I think I am), but got a nom?

You are a distance runner but your mile time is below average? I would definitely just try to do a bunch of sit ups and push ups as often as I can. Good luck!

Does this apply to candidates who were moved to the national pool? In other words, if you did not win your nomination slate, how soon will you find out?

No, (just in my opinion) I would say that your content will obviously trump these errors. They won't make or break you, but just make this a lesson to pay more attention in the future. I don't think the admissions reader will just dock points for mistakes. You'll be fine!

I doubt it. Essay submissions bank on the hope that the applicant reviewed before turning it in. Even if admissions was willing to let you redo, they might ask why. The only reason I can think of is if the essay uploaded poorly and cut off or altered your essay.

Thanks everyone. My school ranked up until this year, but I was around 120/400. This was obviously my own fault due to my grades, but the top 4 people in my school receieved perfect ACT scores and the top 60ish have 4.0 GPAs. Because of this, I'm glad my school doesn't rank anymore, since I...

Im definitely not looking at this as a "chance me" at all, but I was wondering if there have been occurrences of people with high test scores and low GPAs getting into West Point. I am current senior, but I have a 3.4 UWGPA, but my ACT composite is a 32. I was homeschooled for my first two years...

I submitted the email request to one of my PE teachers for an SOE, but another PE teacher of mine said she was able to do it a month sooner than the other one. If the first one didn't write it yet, would I be able to change the name of the official and email a new request for WP's PE SOE?

That's really true. You're right. I'll apply to the best of my ability of course. Thank you!

And so I checked a few minutes later, and the screen had changed to allow me to send teacher evals and send in my medical/CFA. Sorry for the confusion^. Does that make me an official USMA candidate?

My portal originally said that it would begin evaluation and the earliest July 1, but it got moved to August 15 awhile ago. I called the sports coach there to ask a question, and he said that he would just call admissions right afterwards and tell them to open the portal up.
