    CFA Questions

    I received an email today informing me that I failed the fitness test by 1 push-up. I'm pretty disappointed but I'm glad that they're giving me the opportunity to retake it. My LOA says that the CFA must be in by January 8th or it will be withdrawn. I'm afraid that I will be cutting it close...

    CFA Questions

    No, I know that cfa scores have nothing to do with what athletics become available to cadets. It is my understanding that sports teams have made exceptions for athletes, ie. football players (specifically lineman), who would not have terrific scores at the weight that they are required to maintain.

    CFA Questions

    I currently have an LOA, a nomination to USMA and am medically qualified. My appointment is contingent upon taking and passing the CFA.

    New York Senators

    I applied to both Schumer and Gillibrand and have had literally no contact with them since sending in my nomination package. Fortunately I was given a nomination by my rep, however, it has been frustrating waiting to hear from either Senator. I can't comment on Schumer but Gillibrand is either...

    My son received his LOA- likelihood of nomination?

    I just got my LOA a few days ago and have an interview with my MOC tomorrow, we'll see if he mentions it...a few friends of mine who also have LOA's and interviewed today said that my MOC's board did not mention it explicitly; surprisingly it seemed to be a non-factor.

    Are LOAs still possible

    I just got an LOA a few days ago and saw it for the first time today upon returning from a visit I made at the naval academy. There is still hope! Best of luck to you!

    My son received his LOA- likelihood of nomination?

    I have a related question...a few of my friends have LOA's yet they will still interview with the Congressman. Obviously, they all can't have the appointment so I'm assuming the academies will find noms for them. If that's the case why bother interviewing? I would think that the congressman...

    CVW vs. LOA

    Hi all! A month or two ago I received an invitation to attend a CVW and gladly accepted. To my understanding CVW invites for the most part are sent out to candidates that USNA deems competitive. A few weeks later, I received a phone call from a Lieutenant reminding me to get a recommendation...
