https://www.westpoint.edu/admissions/prospective-cadets/nomination-information Although this isn't the proper thread to be asking that question, I did some research just to help you out. From what I can gather, you may need to contact their office of admissions to start the process to apply for...

Thank you!

Hey everyone, as you can probably infer from the title, I'm curious, would it look negative on ourselves if we give the same answers as our last officer interview? For context: I am reapplying for the national scholarship, and I already did an officer interview this past January (Pre-Covid, the...

Regarding doing College Program during the spring, like Kinnem said, have your son talk with the unit. Every unit is different and some only allow newcomers during the beginning of the school year. The San Diego Unit is an example of one of those

Who do you recommend I talk to? I emailed the incoming student advisor asking if I could join for Spring Semester.

Which campuses? I know SDSU has been shut down due to COVID-19, so I don't think it could have been there

I did not know this- I'm going to talk with the COC at my unit and see if they'll let me. I was under the impression that I had to wait till next year

Yes sorry let me clarify: I am currently a College Freshman in my first Semester at SDSU. I did apply for the NROTC Scholarship last year, but did not receive it. I didn't hear about College Program until a few weeks after final deadline (Still tried applying for it anyways, but was told it...

To answer your question if USNA Checks all grades in High School, the answer is Yes. As far as how that will look, it really just depends on how well you do this year first and second semester. Depending on where you stand, they might ask you for your First Semester Senior year grades (they did...

Admissions has told me that the IT department is working on it

Not sure if this applies for everyone, but for '25 applicants, SAT Scores have been received!

I feel both yours and your sons pain for Color Deficiency. I personally never knew I was CD until I took the ishihara plate test and failed the first time around. I still personally don't think I am, because It has never affected me in all my life, and can pass the plate test if I focus on the...

I can vouch for what isaiah said in the post above, I did the same thing but with pull ups. I got a pull up bar installed in my door frame, and every time I entered or left my room I would do 3-5 pull ups. I went from being able to do 5-7ish good pull ups to about 15-18 good pull ups in roughly...
