Congratulations, I am waiting for my ACT scores to apply to the NASS
I believe there’s not much time left for the NASS application. Hopefully our test scores come quickly, good luck!

anyone else receive an email about a payment plan system update for SLE? Also is the USMA website and Candidate Portal as touchy for everyone else as it is for me? Like the website won't open on my phone or on school computers, and sometimes just not at all...
Okay thanks!Yes, a bunch of us got it earlier today. The portal appears to be down for everyone ATM. Sometimes when it won't work I log in on a different browser or make sure my AdBlocker is off, but some browsers deem the website "unsafe" for some reason. The servers for the portal go down a lot, too. Based on others posts it's nothing out of the ordinary.
My DD got accepted to USNA NASS yesterday and she submitted her app o/a 20 Jan. She applied to USMA SLE when the portal opened on 15 Jan. She applied later for the USNA NASS hoping she would hear first from the USMA SLE.
She has until 23 Feb to turn in the forms and payment for USNA NASS.
She isn't planning to attend both NASS and SLE. She has already been selected to attend Girls State. It would have been back-to-back-to-back weeks away from home this summer if she did both SLE and NASS on top of Girls State.
Her dilemma is what to do with the USNA NASS offer. I think her plan will be to submit the forms and payment accepting the NASS slot and turn down USMA SLE if she gets selected for it.
She doesn't want to turn down the NASS slot only to find out later she didn't get selected for SLE. The selection process for NASS and SLE are so nebulous that no one can reliably say she will get selected for SLE because she got selected for NASS.
DD emailed her USMA FFR last night about her timeline. The FFR told her the plan is for the USMA to send out some decisions later this week, so we shall see...

My son did the same 3 week SLE/Boy's State/NASS tour two summers ago. He enjoyed both SLE and NASS but if he had it to do all over again he probably would have only done SLE and Boy's state but he'd already accepted and paid NASS when he received his SLE invitation (his first choice). I'd hold out until the last minute to accept NASS to see if she receives her SLE notification (if she has a preference or has yet to visit WP).
Both are recruiting events that give the prospective students a small taste of academy life. The nice thing about doing both was it gave him a chance to compare the two environments and confirm which he was most comfortable. Both academies have very different atmospheres, cultures and vibes.
