    Computer Preference

    Yep, I would advise going with the extra package. First of all, almost everything I have used this year and has been extremely helpful. The docking station is a biggie. You will pack up and take your laptop constantly throughout the day to classes and the like, and it's so much easier to...

    Information for Candidates Offered Admission (forms)

    There really is just so much to get done, so I would personally advise starting getting it done ASAP. I remember this time last year doing all this stuff, and especially at the end of senior year you're very, very busy. Congrats!

    Class of 2016 Appointments

    Congrats everyone! In exactly a week, it will have been one year since I got my acceptance in the mail, and now my plebe year is half over! It really does fly.

    Jake's goodbye

    Yep, everyone's already said it. This site has been SO helpful in every way throughout the admissions process. The insight from current and past cadets is invaluable and I'm not sure I would be about to head off to R-day without the help of this site. I'll see all you '15ers on Monday!

    Business Major?

    I could swear that the WPer who came from my home town that came back home this year and just graduated said he majored in something like Business Management. Now, don't take my word for that because honestly I have no idea what that implies...but I could SWEAR that's what he said...

    Wondering what kind of chance my son has to get an appointment at West Point?

    If he just finished his junior year it is probably too late to get him in to the American Legion Boys State program seeing as his turn to go would be this summer. But everyone here has exactly the same advice I would give to a candidate just starting the application process. Early is always...

    SF 86 Clearance Form

    We ARE allowed to just fill in via pen the blank form they mailed us, right? Because I just went ahead and did that instead of trying to figure out how to save/email the PDF. Although I suppose it would've been just as easy to type/print/mail the thing as opposed to pen it in...I just didn't...

    Questions Thread

    When I was there for a visit I'm pretty sure they served the spicy chicken patty...sooo good!

    failure

    Ahh I completely understand this! A perfect example from the first few days of my AP Chem class comes to mind: "I understand most if not all of you in here just came from AP Calculus, and especially after an hour long test in there it's hard to come in here and sit down to take another hour...

    boots!?!?

    Went today to try and get my footwear. Unfortunately the PX I went to didn't have any of the permissible boots though I was able to try on a pair of Belleville's for size so hopefully they can order a pair in so I can start breaking them in ASAP. We were really surprised (and thankful!) to see...

    West Point Female Cadets

    I obviously am not yet a cadet at WP, but I have been thinking a lot about the hair. I've seen a lot of people suggest cutting it and just as many suggest NOT cutting it. Just from personal experience, being a dancer and a runner, I have found it much easier to get and keep longer hair out of...

    Nomination interview questions

    My interview questions were fairly basic, so I won't go into detail about them. For me it was different being interviewed by a panel of eight people, so definitely be prepared for that (as you may or may not face that same situation). Also, another thing is to think about what you're going to...

    SATs

    You still have to submit the writing scores but, as with most colleges, WP does not yet hold writing to the same level as CR and Math for admissions purposes (yet).

    Direct Deposit

    So, I received an already filled out direct deposit form from the Highland Falls office of PenFed after opening an account through them a few days ago. I plan on calling the office to ask this question myself at some point during the week but on the form I received, the box "Military Active" had...

    Direct Deposit

    No problem! I always have to read over this stuff multiple times...it's easy to miss!
