Make sure you don't pack too much. When I arrived with a large bag last year, transitioning my stuff to the new bag was a nightmare. I ended up being forced to leave essentials in my civilian bag that I couldn't get access to until much later. Make sure to remind yourself that Beast is a...

Work out and don't tell him you're working out.

If you can explain that your end goal is not to be a West Point cadet but rather an army officer, using West Point as a means to achieve this goal, you will look pretty good. Having a specific branch in mind is definitely bonus points but it isn't absolutely necessary. There's a ton of people...

From what I understand, your GPA is based not solely only on your academics but also on your military and physical abilities. I don't know if they make selections based on specific sections of the GPA or the overall but I'm sure this will all be explained when you arrive.

It was for me when I did it last year so I would assume so. As early on in the application as you are, I wouldn't stress fine details. You send them what you have already and update it as you go on. If something happens to go wrong, an email to your regional commander would take care of it. (If...

I believe you can still apply now and upload other documents later on. It would be best to apply ASAP so they can see you're interested and on top of it. With all application material, turn things in as soon as humanly possible. It gives admissions time to review your file and respond with any...
