Thanks for the words of encouragement, however I should've added that I was accepted about a month ago :P

In a email to all applicants about a month ago, they stated "SLE selection offers will be sent on 10 February, 1 March, and 1 April", so Jam is certainly correct.

Hi Jasperdog, Thank you very much for your detailed and informative answer. Just what I was looking for! I think that wraps everything up! -Trojan

Thank you both very much for your replies! They were both very helpful. I guess my last remaining question is, what is life as in the reserve like, if you opt for that path? Do you maintain a civilian job/life but with some military activities interspersed every so often? (My research online...

I had a question about some of the wording on the website. Any help understanding it would be greatly appreciated, as I come from a family/community with very limited military experience. "You may choose to seek your opportunity as a ship's officer at sea, ashore in the maritime and...

Hi Pontonius, Sorry about that! The facebook search bar can be odd at times... I was unable to post a link initially because I didn't have enough posts on the forum, but now that I do... Here is the link to the SLE '14 session 2 facebook group...

Hi there, Thank you for your reply. I did look at the website (was a little confused by some of the lingo) and decided to post here to see if I could get any suggestions or opinions to clarify/supplement my reading from people who have experienced the academy. Respectfully, Trojan nation...

Hi there, I have just a few preliminary questions to start off my interest in USMMA What does a midshipman at the academy learn to do with regard to their specialty? What are popular fields of study/majors? What is the obligation for a midshipman upon graduation from the academy? What types...

Hi Usma5627 and anyone else accepted into the second session, The Facebook group is a "closed" group that can be found by searching SLE '14 session 2 in the Facebook search bar. Send a request to join the group, and I will then verify it. I've also emailed some admissions people from USMA...

Hi Nikkie, To my understanding it's quite the opposite. SLE is partially a recruitment event for the academy and part of the goal is to bring more members from the underrepresented states to the program in order to even out the numbers. That being said, I have no idea whether or not...

I applied on the first day. When I didn't hear from them on the 10th, I got kinda worried. I was constantly checking my email on the 10th, and then randomly today I got the email. A real surprise! The next big batch they're sending out will be on March 1st I think, so keep your eyes open that...

Hi FlightSurgeon, Yes, I was notified via email and prompted to check my Candidate Portal. Best of luck to you! :) Regards, TrojanNation

Hi JWP, Thanks for your reply! I've actually already made a group, just looking for people to join it. Hopefully it can take off!

Hi there, Congratulations to those who have already been offered a spot at West Point SLE! (To those who haven't heard, best of luck). I know there have been Facebook groups made in the past for those attending (to get to know each other and socialize before the program). I was wondering...

I was just accepted into the second week. So happy right now! Congratulations to others who have gotten in, and to those who haven't heard yet, best of luck!
