I've been on these forums since 8th grade and have used them as a tool to stay on track and go into the process educated. The process is long and irritating but getting the news of an appointment is the greatest feeling ever. I went to a newish high school where very few students had even...

The shirts can have logos on them just not too blatant. There was a guy in my company who was wearing a USNA summer seminar t-shirt and the cadre had fun dealing it. You'll get 4 t-shirts and 2 or 3 shorts.

Back in late January I was told by my FFR that it was very unlikely that I would get in and that I should think of reaplying. I called a coach that I had been in contact with for 6ish months and he said he'd see what he could do. Two months later I received my BFE. The coach probably helped me...

Close friend of mine just received the news yesterday that she just got in. For those of you still waiting, there is still a chance.

If I applied to all three (and USCGA) and the applications are all really similar. By applying to all three, I felt I gave my self the best possible chance to become a military officer. The portals are different and uploading information to each institution varies. USMA requires a recommendation...

Your choice between USNA and USMA should come down to whether you want to serve in the Army or Navy/Marine Corps. Not the food....

I was thanking/telling my teachers that I got into USMA and one of the responses was: Me: I got into West Point Teacher: I bet you'll have fun! My thoughts while shaking my head and slowly walking away: Yes, I going to USMA for the purpose of "having fun." They'll be fun moments but "fun" isn't...

One of my friends currently at the prep school didn't hear back from USAFA until the end of April and didn't initially get in . It wasn't until the second or third week of May that she received news that she had gotten into the prep school. I applied to all four academies (not USMMA) with the...

I just found out today. Keep your head up and know that until you finally receive the TWE there is still a chance.

I'm leaning toward West Point, loved the feel of the campus. I have no intention to be a pilot and like the career options in the Army. I spoke to a coach at USMA and see that as my best athletic opportunity.

I went through something similar with both USAFA and USMA. I didn't get in to Summer Seminar or USMA's SLE and was somewhat baffled. I thought I had the right ECs, Class Rank, leadership positions ect... I like hopefullcadet2015 struggled with standardize testing. Take the ACT as early and as...
