MY DS contacted the DC and they said 'keep waiting', no news yet. So parent's club jumped the gun and should have reworded their wording.

I my DS received an email from our local parent's support group saying "Congratulations on your appointment!! Here is a list of local events......" His DC was copied on it too. Only problem is, my DS has not received anything from West Point! So, do they know something we don't know? Could...

Thanks. Good advice. A question that I have is - where do I get a calendar that shows when parent weekend is, when 6 week exams are over, when is the day after Plebe summer when they can call home, etc...? so I can plan! Thanks!

Thanks everyone! All useful info!

My DS has worked so hard for the last two years to achieve this dream and has received appt to USNA. Did it entirely with no prodding from parents. Went to for candidate weekend visit, loved it, but realizes how hard physically, mentally, scholastically it will be. Not to mention we are on...

Hi. I have a question I haven't seen addressed before in the forum. My daughter received an LOA, and her nomination and will likely attend Navy. The company that I work for offers scholarships, but will only pay them to the University or Institution the student ends up at (i.e. they send...

If you want to go, call the admissions office and ask if you can go. Jan 26-28 is last date until spring. My daughter was offered an LOA, but didn't get asked to attend, so we asked and they immediately accepted.

My daughter has an LOA and called and requested one to the main USNA admissions number. She is going end of Jan.

We haven't heard from any CA senator, and our Congressional committee interview isn't until Dec 17th....We are in CA25

Her application was completed 11/8. Her LOA letter was dated 11/17 and she had her interview over the summer, Julyish. She had her Dobmerb, CFA all done over the summer. Hope that helps.

It did, thanks. Here's another question.....is the WCS list the same for males and females?

I found this from one of your other responses from last year. WCS - Whole Candidate Score: - scoring system that WP uses to rank order candidates by overall merit - 60% academic - ACT/SAT scores, transcript, class rank - 30% leadership - extracurricular activities, athletic...

Thanks for your help! Can you help me understand what the WCS is?

My daughter just received a qualification letter from West Point admissions that says they have reviewed her file, that she is fully qualified, but still needs a nomination. Does this mean if she receives that nomination, she will get in at West Point? Thanks for any feedback and clarification.
